OnePlus Pad 3 is presented as the best overall Android tablet tested. It uses a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite chip for strong performance across gaming, photo editing, and 4K video playback. A 13.2-inch LCD screen provides 3.4K resolution, a 144-Hz refresh rate for smoother gaming, and 12-bit color. The LCD is described as easy to read in bright sunlight and noted for excellent battery life compared with OLED. Battery performance is supported by long movie sessions on flights and fast charging that reaches 50% in under half an hour, with a full charge around 1.5 hours. Standby power loss is described as minimal, with real-world charge retention matching high standby ratings.
"The best overall Android tablet I've tried in the OnePlus Pad 3. The Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite chip offers great performance, with plenty of power for gaming, photo editing, and watching 4K video. The 13.2-inch LCD screen offers an excellent 3.4K resolution with a 144-Hz refresh rate (again great for gaming), and 12-bit color. Would I like to see an OLED screen? Sure, but no tablet at this price has one, not even the iPad Air."
"The Pad 3's screen is one of the nicer LCD panels I've tested, and easy to read even in bright sunlight. One of the nice things about the LCD rather than OLED screen is that the Pad 3 has excellent battery life. I've watched back-to-back movies on plane flights and barely dipped below the halfway mark, and thanks to the 80-watt fast-charging point, you can recharge to 50 percent in under half an hour, with a full recharge taking about 1.5 hours."
"I also love that it loses hardly any power in standby mode. OnePlus rates it to 70 days of standby mode, but that's with the WiFi off. In the real world, I can leave it lying around for a week, and it'll still have 70 percent charge."
