OnePlus is significantly impacted by the ongoing trade tensions between China and the United States. After initially raising the price of the OnePlus Watch 3 following its launch, the company has successfully reverted to its original pricing and assured customers that there will be no further increases. The future of OnePlus products, particularly those produced in China, remains uncertain.
Recently, the OnePlus Pad 3, an anticipated flagship tablet, was spotted at the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), suggesting that preparations for a U.S. launch are already underway. The FCC listing confirms the tablet’s name, the OnePlus Pad 3, along with its designation as “Made in China.” This designation raises concerns about potential issues if the current 145% tariff imposed by President Trump on Chinese products continues. Though there are rumors of negotiations between the U.S. and China, it seems the Chinese government is reluctant to relent, putting the United States in a position to either lift tariffs entirely or face adverse consequences.
Consequently, while the OnePlus Pad 3 is expected to be released in the U.S., it remains uncertain whether its pricing will reflect these tariffs. The FCC certification does not reveal extensive specifications for the OnePlus Pad 3, only confirming support for Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth. However, since the tablet was launched in China last year, many details about its features are already known.
What remains unclear is whether the global variant for the U.S. market will carry the same specifications. This is not the only device from OnePlus noted at the FCC; another unnamed tablet, the OnePlus Pad 3R, has also been certified and is expected to launch in the U.S. soon.
