OnePlus has officially confirmed that the OnePlus Pad 3 will launch in global markets, including the US, Canada, and Europe, on June 5th. The tablet is aimed at productivity users and creative professionals, with highlights including Apple-like ecosystem integration, multitasking features like Open Canvas, and high-end hardware. Early buyers can also avail special discounts and freebies as part of the launch offers.
The OnePlus Pad 3 is essentially a rebranded version of the OnePlus Pad 2 Pro, which recently debuted in China. That device itself shares specifications with the OPPO Pad 4 Pro, as both brands operate under the same parent company, BBK Electronics. However, it’s worth noting that the model now launching globally is not the same as the OnePlus Pad 3 that was briefly listed in China back in December. This naming variation may cause some confusion among users.
