Finally my Pad 3 got delivered today !! Just recieved an update of oxygenOS 16.0.9 and 8 elite performance with OOS is hat's off with 144Hz 🔥
Folks using Android Pads pls suggest some good note taking apps and also other suggestions for Pad3.
So I was watching some vids before buying this device but they had different scores in each
Like I saw 2.7 mil , 3 mil etc
Can someone explain why the big differences?
Also drop your antutu scores if you have the pad
I am using a Oneplus Pad 3 (16/512) as my primary work device for more than 5 months now. Bought it used from FB marketplace (Indian version) and the seller mentioned how he has never updated the software due to associated bugs and issues with the updates. Seemed like a knowledgable fellow so I took his advice in not updating it since. It is a beast of a machine, honestly. I use it mainly to manage google/meta ads for my clients and it seamlessly manages 15+ tabs on google chrome for hours (6-8 hours SOT every single day) with floating windows for gemini/claude and related productivity tools. I am using it with a bluetooth keyboard and mouse (3rd party, official keyboard seemed not worth the price) and it's always connected to my oneplus 13R via Device Connect. Battery life is fabulous, a full charge lasts me 2.5 days if I am not gaming(current cycle count at 52 as per Ampere). I occasionally use it to play CODM or emulate PS2 with HDMI out and 3 controllers connected via a type c dongle. Long story short, the tablet never felt like it was overheating(unless I was charging and gaming on the emulator) or felt it was running out of steam even when running relatively demanding projects on FL Studio Mobile.
Currently running on OPD2415_16.0.1.302(EX01) and it shows the November 2025 security patch. The software update section in the settings shows latest version as 16.0.9.400. Are there any known bugs/lags in this update? Am I better off using the older version as it is? Or am I missing out on any useful features keeping it at the older version?
