If you’re looking for an awesome Android tablet deal to round out your holiday shopping, it’s time to call off the search. The OnePlus Pad 3, our #1 favorite tablet of 2025, just scored a 17% discount at Amazon, knocking the device back down to its lowest price ever recorded.
For a little perspective, that’s the same discount that we saw during the Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales last month. I thought we were done seeing great discounts on the Android tablet until the new year, but I’m more than happy to be proven wrong on this one.
✅Recommended if: you want one of the best flagship tablets on the market, with a great display, powerful performance, and a lightweight, portable build; you suffer from PWM sensitivity.
❌Skip this deal if: you must have an OLED display or a fingerprint scanner; you need a microSD slot for expandable storage.
While everyone else may immediately jump on the latest iPad or Samsung tablet to stick under the tree, the OnePlus Pad 3 triumphs over the competition in a few key areas. As described in our glowing 4.5/5-star review, the flagship tablet has an incredible price-to-performance ratio, with a stunning 13.2-inch LCD 144Hz display, the unrivalled Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, and a thin, lightweight build straight out of the box.
Thanks to the 12GB of RAM and 256GB of onboard storage, the OnePlus Pad 3 is powerful enough for gaming and large file management alike, while the 12,140mAh battery should last you up to 17 hours on a single charge. The device also boasts an 8-speaker stereo audio system, which is just as cool as it sounds, and there are plenty of first-party accessories to trick out the tablet to your heart’s desire.
As with any device, there are trade-offs with the OnePlus Pad 3. You won’t get as many AI features as you would with a Samsung Galaxy Tab or iPad, and the lack of a microSD slot is a bit disappointing (although a portable SSD will get the job done just as well). All in all, these drawbacks are pretty minor, and I’d choose the OnePlus Pad 3 over its mainstream rivals any day of the week — especially when you slap on a Black Friday-level discount.
