Just weeks after its global debut, the OnePlus Pad 3 is officially hitting the Philippines, with preorders now open courtesy of the brand’s local distributor.
This marks the official — albeit quiet — arrival of the first tablet powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset on the local market. If you’ve been searching for a true flagship-level Android tablet that can truly challenge an Apple iPad Pro, this might be your best bet for the foreseeable future.
Of course, bleeding-edge performance comes with a premium price tag. The OnePlus Pad 3 starts at P35,990 (roughly $638) for the 12GB of physical RAM and 256GB of non-expandable storage, while the top-tier 16GB RAM and 512GB storage model will set you back P39,990 ($709).
Starting today, June 30, you can secure your OnePlus Pad 3 by preordering from participating Digital Walker and Open Source retail locations nationwide. This exclusive preorder window runs until July 13, 2025. Early adopters will be rewarded with a free bundle valued at P7,980 ($142), which includes a folio case and the OnePlus Stylo Pen digital stylus.
Pricing and preorder period and freebies announced
For those who prefer the convenience of online shopping, the device is also available through Digital Walker’s official Shopee store, complete with free shipping. Just a heads-up: While it’s technically a preorder, you’ll need to pay the full amount up front. It’s also worth noting that stocks here are limited.
The OnePlus Pad 3 isn’t just a minor iteration; it brings significant upgrades over its predecessor. It sports a larger 13.2-inch 3.4K IPS LCD, now a 12-bit display with Dolby Vision HDR and a bright 900 nits of peak brightness. Under the hood, the bump to the Snapdragon 8 Elite is complemented by an improved thermal design to keep that powerhouse chipset running cool.
And in keeping with the “bigger and better” theme, the OnePlus Pad 3 packs a massive 12,140mAh battery — up from 9,510mAh in the previous-gen model — with blazing-fast 80-watt wired charging, which is also a jump from last year’s 67-watt charging.
