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 Liquid Retina at 60Hz (4.9 inches larger), delivering superior motion clarity and HDR contrast for media. Artists and students needing precise input should choose the iPad mini — it supports Apple Pencil Pro with pressure sensitivity and tilt detection, and its 256GB storage and iPadOS 18 enable seamless multitasking with Stage Manager and external keyboard pairing. Buyers prioritizing screen real estate and low upfront cost should pick the OnePlus Pad 3 — its 13.2-inch panel and Oryon V2 chipset handle split-screen video and gaming smoothly, and its lack of cellular cuts price without sacrificing core performance. In UAE at AED 2350 vs AED 1699, the OnePlus Pad 3 is better because its 4.9-inch larger screen and 144Hz refresh rate dominate media immersion; in India at ₹54999 vs ₹37999, the OnePlus Pad 3 wins on value because no stylus or cellular add-ons are needed for its core use case.
