OnePlus is launching a new tablet in Europe on June 5, named OnePlus Pad 3, which is confusingly different from the OnePlus Pad 3 that debuted in China. Instead, it’s the OnePlus Pad 2 Pro recently launched there. The Pad 3 features a Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, a 13.2-inch LCD screen with a 144 Hz refresh rate, options for 8/12/16GB of RAM, and storage choices of 256/512GB. It includes a 13 MP rear camera, an 8 MP front camera, and a 12,140 mAh battery, running Android 15. Launch promotions include significant discounts and a potential lack of included charger.
“Why add complexity when you can just be complex?” seems to be the guiding principle for many Chinese companies regarding product names. Or perhaps they believe the Internet is nonexistent—or that it’s not global. Regardless, OnePlus has just revealed that it will introduce a new tablet in Europe (and possibly other global markets) on June 5.
This new device will be named OnePlus Pad 3, but it’s not the OnePlus Pad 3 that debuted in China in December. Instead, it’s actually the OnePlus Pad 2 Pro that was just launched in China a few days ago.
While we commend the features this device offers and the swift international rollout (within a month), the naming conventions are baffling for anyone keeping up with global smartphone and tablet news.
Looking past that, the Pad 3 is equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, featuring a 13.2-inch 2400×3392 LCD display with a 144 Hz refresh rate, options of 8/12/16GB of RAM, 256/512GB of storage, a 13 MP rear camera, an 8 MP front camera, and a 12,140 mAh battery that supports 67W wired charging. It operates on Android 15.
For a €1 commitment, you can secure a €99.99 discount on the tablet upon its launch, plus an additional €50 coupon for the tablet, along with a gift code for the OnePlus SuperVOOC 80W Dual Ports GaN Power Adapter Kit—leading us to suspect that a charger might not be included in the tablet’s packaging.
