So, with such an aggressive package from the gateway-what new model will be able to upgrade?

Design and display
Large and thin
The OnePlus Pad 2 comes with 2 soft round edges and a sleek with a sight of the sleek aluminum frame. It is measured 6.5 mm thick and weighs 584 g, which makes it slightly heavier than some rivals in the same size class.
It is expected that Pad 3 will measure it with the same design. According to the leak, while maintaining the construction of aluminum, it will offer even more thin 6.0 mm chassis. This means that it can be heavy.
It is expected that PAD3 will maintain IPSLCD tech and 144Hz refresh rate, though now on a much larger panel, and allegedly with the support of dolby vision.
Keyboard and styls
Still 2, one -plus smart styles, 16,000 pressure levels, Bluetooth connectivity, and magnetic charging. It costs $ 99 and supports remote signals such as scrolling or pushing slides.
Performance and benchmark
More power and hope that better tuning
Pad 2 Snapdragon runs on 8 General 2, which connects with 8GB or 12GB Ram in terms of model. In the real world use, it is fast and responsible, in which 144 herts are taking full advantage of electricity under the display hood.
It is expected that in 2025, a more powerful Snapdragon will be upgraded to 8 Elite, Qualcomm’s top -Tier mobile chip. It is hoped that the new model will not be dealing with the same Throttling problems we have seen in Pad 2 and the new chip can be used for its maximum capabilities. For reference, this is the same silicon who Galaxy uses S25 ultra.
Software
- Split screen and swimming windows
- Smart Sidebar to access the quick app
- Canvas Multi Tasking Open (Hope to return to Pad 3)
It is lightweight, sharp, and products appropriate for productivity.
No dexus desktop mode is available, but clean UI, combined with keyboards and styls, makes a decent laptop substitute for most workflows.
The old model does not have a 3.5 mm headphone jack so we don’t expect anyone in anyone. Pad 2 supports 24-bit HI-Ri audio through USB-C, which should be taken to PAD3.
There was nothing special on the Hepatic feedback pad 2, and there is no reason to expect major changes.
Battery and charging
- 10h 43m browsing
- 6h 42m gaming
- 4H 44M video playback (frustrating low)
Charging is a place where it is the highest – 67W fast charging fills the battery in just 52 minutes, which is charged 35 % in 15 minutes. It is much faster than most pills.
It is expected that the battery capacity in Pad 3 will reach 12,140 mAh, while 67W maintains wired charging. If true, it should live a longer battery life, though it can increase the charge time as there will be more battery for filling.
Camera
About what you will expect
The Pad 3 camera setup has not yet been told in detail, but no major upgrade has been found. It is safe to understand the same or similar hardware, which is acceptable to a tablet, but not noteworthy.
Abstract
That said, Pad -2 is still well maintained in 2025 – especially if you do not need extra screen real estate or already owns accessories. If OnePlus holds its ~ 599 – $ 649 at the expected price and provides on performance tuning, Pad 3 can be one of the best around Android tablets this year.
But for now, we have to wait until June 5 to see how far it is alive on its promise.
