OnePlus is holding a new Fall promotion with many of its products receiving sizable discounts. For a limited time, the OnePlus Pad 3 is on sale for $650, a demure $50 price drop. With purchase, you can choose between one of two free gifts: either the OnePlus Stylo 2 Pen ($99.99) or the OnePlus Pad 3 Folio Case ($49.99). Be aware that there’s only one configuration of the tablet available. The OnePlus Pad 3 is in Storm Blue, houses 12GB of RAM, and has a 256GB SSD.

Through OnePlus’ trade-in program, you can save even more money on the tablet. Trade in any device in any condition and shave off an additional $100, lowering the OnePlus Pad 3’s $650 price tag to $550. So, if you put everything together, you’ll be saving $200 in product.
The OnePlus Pad 3 has earned its place as one of the most compelling Android tablets of 2025. It houses premium hardware, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, a powerful chipset capable of handling just about anything and everything you throw at it.
Review: OnePlus Pad 3
OnePlus’ device also has a sleek design and a high-resolution 13.2-inch display. It’s not an OLED screen, mind you. But the IPS LCD is still great, boasting a high pixel density of 3,392 x 2,400 for crystal clear images. The 144Hz refresh rate delivers smooth on-screen animations, a perfect speed for both streaming movies and playing games.
Alongside all this hardware is a 12,140mAh battery that lasted over 13 hours straight during our testing. When supported by accessories like the Smart Keyboard and Stylo 2 pen, the OnePlus Pad 3 could outright replace your laptop.
How I rated this deal
$50 off a $700 tablet is only a 7% discount. It’s not super great, although you also have to take into account the second offer. If you take advantage of OnePlus’ trade-in program and grab the stylus, you’ll actually be saving $200 in total. Putting all the discounts together, I give this deal a 3/5 as per ZDNET’s rating system. Now is a great time to get the OnePlus Pad 3, especially if you’re in the market for a new top-notch Android tablet, but don’t wait too long.
As per OnePlus, this deal will expire on October 19.
