OnePlus is one of the companies that are very exposed to the tariffs war between China and the United States. After having to raise the price of its OnePlus Watch 3 immediately after launch, the Chinese company managed to find a way to bring the smartwatch back to the original price and promised not to increase it going further.
We’re not sure what will happen with OnePlus’ future products, especially those manufactured in China. For example, the Pad 3, one of the company’s upcoming flagship tablets, has been recently spotted at the FCC (Federal Communications Commission) (via Droid-life), which indicates that OnePlus is already preparing to launch the tablet in the US.
The FCC label present in the listing confirms not only the name of the tablet, OnePlus Pad 3, but also the fact that it’s “Made in China.” This will most likely pose a major issue if President Trump continues to maintain the 145% tariff on products made in China.
Despite rumors of negotiation between the two countries, it appears that China isn’t willing to back down at all, forcing the United States to either remove the tariffs completely or suffer the consequences.

That said, the OnePlus Pad 3 is definitely meant to be introduced in the United States sooner or later. It remains to be seen if the tablet will be priced with tariffs in mind, or it will be business as usual.
Specs-wise, the FCC certifications doesn’t reveal too many details about the OnePlus Pad 3. The only details that the listing confirms is that the tablet will feature Wi-Fi 6E support and Bluetooth, but that’s about it.
However, considering that the tablet was already introduced in China late last year, we don’t everything there is to know about the OnePlus Pad 3. The only thing that remains to be determined is whether or not the global variant coming to the US will have similar specs.
This is the second OnePlus tablet that’s been recently spotted at the FCC. An unannounced OnePlus Pad 3R has also been certified by the FCC and is expected to be launched in the US at some point.
