Our Verdict

Ipad Mini (2024) vs Pad 3 (Global)

OnePlus Pad 3 wins on display with its 13.2-inch IPS LCD at 144Hz and 900 nits brightness versus the iPad mini’s 8.3-inch screen at 60Hz, making it 4.9 inches larger with smoother motion and brighter HDR. The iPad mini is for artists needing Apple Pencil support, students requiring iPadOS 18’s multitasking and 128GB storage with A17 Pro performance, and media consumers who prioritize portability and 5G connectivity. The OnePlus Pad 3 suits those needing a large screen for video or reading without cellular, benefiting from its lower price and no stylus requirement. In UAE at AED 2100 vs AED 1699, the OnePlus Pad 3 is better because its 13.2-inch 144Hz screen delivers superior media immersion. In India at ₹48999 vs ₹37999, the OnePlus Pad 3 wins on value because it offers a significantly larger, higher-refresh-rate display for ₹11000 less, with no stylus needed.
