The OnePlus Pad 3 and ZTE Nubia Pad Pro have some distinct differences in performance specifications. The OnePlus Pad 3 comes with 512GB of internal storage, while the Nubia Pad Pro has a significantly larger 1024GB of storage. Both devices are equipped with 16GB of RAM, so the difference in storage is the key distinction here. In terms of processing power, the OnePlus Pad 3 uses the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset with a CPU that includes 2 cores running at 4.32 GHz and 6 cores running at 3.53 GHz. The Nubia Pad Pro, on the other hand, uses the newer Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, which features a more complex CPU with varying speeds, including 3 cores at 3.15 GHz, 2 at 2.96 GHz, 2 at 2.26 GHz, and 1 at 3.3 GHz.
When it comes to performance benchmarks, the OnePlus Pad 3 scores 10,059 in Geekbench 6's multi-core test and 3,234 in the single-core test. In comparison, the Nubia Pad Pro scores 7,325 in multi-core and 2,213 in single-core. The OnePlus Pad 3 thus performs better in terms of both multi-core and single-core results. Both devices support 64-bit processing, have integrated LTE, and use big.LITTLE technology for power efficiency. They also share a similar GPU architecture, both using Adreno graphics, but the OnePlus Pad 3 has the Adreno 830, while the Nubia Pad Pro features the newer Adreno 750, with a higher GPU clock speed on the OnePlus Pad 3 (1,100 MHz vs 900 MHz).
Both devices also support the same OpenGL, DirectX, and OpenCL versions, and have integrated graphics. They differ in some additional details, with the OnePlus Pad 3 offering a slightly smaller semiconductor size of 3 nm compared to the Nubia Pad Pro's 4 nm. The OnePlus Pad 3 also has a higher memory bandwidth (85.1 GB/s) compared to the Nubia Pad Pro (76.6 GB/s), and its L3 cache is slightly smaller (8 MB vs 12 MB). Both tablets have a similar RAM speed (5300 MHz for OnePlus Pad 3, 4800 MHz for Nubia Pad Pro) and share the same maximum memory capacity of 24GB, though the Nubia Pad Pro’s larger storage might allow for more data to be handled without impacting performance. Additionally, the OnePlus Pad 3 has a lower thermal design power (TDP) of 8.2W, compared to the Nubia Pad Pro's 12.5W, which could affect power efficiency and heat generation.
