OnePlus is currently running a flash sale on the OnePlus Pad 3, the slate we crowned the best tablet of 2025 at the recent Trusted Reviews Awards.
Typically retailing for £599, the price of the tablet has dropped 20% as part of a sale through the official OnePlus store.
This brings the price down to a very tempting £479, which, considering the fantastic specs on offer, makes this one of the best Black Friday tablet deals we’ve spotted.
While the price puts it in the more affordable tablet category, the specs put it up there with top-end models. Powering the OnePlus Pad 3 is the Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, which is seriously nippy and capable of powering through apps and games without too much fuss.
On the front of the tablet, you’ve got a gorgeous display. It’s a 13.2-inch 2K panel with a 144Hz refresh rate, making it far better than any similarly priced iPad on the market. This is a wonderful screen for scrolling through photos, doing some work or kicking back with Netflix on a commute.

Other specs include 12GB RAM, 256GB of fast UFS 4 storage, speedy 80w charging and a large 12,140mAh battery. These are all things you’d typically have to pay a lot more money for.
In our OnePlus Pad 3 review, we scored it 4.5/5 and praised the incredible performance (especially for the price), the wonderful display and the overall premium look and feel. Our expert said, “The OnePlus Pad 3 offers an impressive blend of premium design, great display tech, unique tablet software and some of the best performance from any Android tablet for just £529. At that price, it’s hard to recommend any other Android tablet to most people.”
We awarded this the Tablet of the Year at the Trusted Reviews Awards 2025, so you know you’re getting a great product for a great price.
