Buying call

Buy the OnePlus Pad 3 if you want the best-value big Android tablet for work and play: it earned some of the strongest Android tablet reviews of 2025. The Snapdragon 8 Elite is fast, the 13.2-inch 3.4K screen runs at 144Hz, and it lasted 16 h 21 min in a web-browsing test. Skip it if you need a pen in the box or water resistance, since the stylus costs extra and there's no IP rating. There's also no microSD slot or fingerprint reader.
