The OnePlus Pad 3 has now stopped by the Bluetooth SIG and Geekbench on its way to being released globally next week. Sporting 12 GB of RAM and a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, the high-end Android tablet defeats all before it, including the Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra and the RedMagic Nova.

The OnePlus Pad 3 is due to receive a global release early next month. Specifically, OnePlus confirmed a few days ago that the Pad 3 will land on June 5 across Europe and North America. In the meantime, various leaks have revealed the tablet's prospective performance ahead of time.

On the one hand, the Bluetooth SIG has identified that the OnePlus Pad 3 is 'OPD2415', evidence of which we have embedded below. Previously, this model number was thought to relate to the OnePlus Pad 2 Pro. As it turns out, OnePlus has assigned the model number 'OPD2413' to its latest 'Pro' branded tablet. To that end, hundreds of Geekbench listings for the OnePlus OPD2413 can now be viewed on its public database.

Based on the Geekbench results that have leaked so far, OnePlus plans to replace the Pad 2 (curr. $569.99 on Amazon) with a tablet that combines a Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset and 12 GB of RAM. Unfortunately, early results see the OnePlus Pad 3 falling short of multi-core expectations for a Snapdragon 8 Elite-backed device. At the time of writing, the tablet achieves a median 3,074 single-core and 8,980 multi-core scores in Geekbench 6.4, compared to 3,082 and 9,293 for the chipset as a whole.

The same is true of the tablet's Vulkan scores, which trail our benchmarks by a few hundred points at 24,254. Meanwhile, the OnePlus Pad 3 fares better in OpenCL, where it achieves a median of 18,720 compared to 18,254 across our benchmarks so far. Ultimately, the OnePlus Pad 3 still trounces the Galaxy Tab S10 UltraRedMagic Nova and other current high-end Android tablets.
