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 Li-Ion panel at 60Hz (4.9 inches larger), delivering superior motion clarity and HDR contrast. Artists and students needing portability and Apple Pencil 3 support should choose the iPad mini, as its compact size, 256GB storage, and seamless integration with iPadOS 18 enable precise note-taking and app workflows. Media consumers and multitaskers seeking a large screen for videos or split-screen apps should pick the OnePlus Pad 3, especially since its Snapdragon 8 Elite chip and Android 15 offer strong performance without needing a stylus or accessories. In UAE at AED 2350 vs AED 1899, OnePlus Pad 3 is better because its 13.2-inch 144Hz screen dominates for media; in India at ₹54999 vs ₹42999, OnePlus Pad 3 wins on value because it delivers a larger, higher-refresh-rate display without requiring extra stylus or keyboard costs.
