Realme has officially unveiled the Realme Pad 3 in India on January 6, 2026, coinciding with the launch of the Realme 16 Pro series smartphones. This new Android tablet is available in elegant Champagne Gold and Space Grey colour variants, driven by the power-efficient MediaTek Dimensity 7300-Max chipset fabricated on a 4nm process. It comes equipped with 8GB of RAM and offers storage options up to 256GB, which users can further expand up to 2TB using a microSD card slot for ample space to store media, apps, and documents.

The pricing structure for the Realme Pad 3 positions it competitively in the mid-range segment. The base Wi-Fi variant with 8GB RAM and 128GB storage is priced at Rs. 26,999, while the 5G-enabled models are set at Rs. 29,999 for the 8GB+128GB configuration and Rs. 31,999 for the higher 8GB+256GB option. First sales are scheduled to begin on January 16 at noon IST via the official Realme online store, authorised retail outlets, and Flipkart, with an attractive launch incentive of Rs. 2,000 discount available through select bank cards.

At the heart of the device lies an expansive 11.61-inch display boasting 2.8K resolution (2,800 x 2,000 pixels), a fluid 120Hz adaptive refresh rate, and a responsive 240Hz touch sampling rate for seamless interactions. The screen delivers peak brightness of 500 nits and wide 96 percent NTSC colour coverage, enhanced by features tailored for comfortable prolonged use. Running on the latest Android 16 overlaid with Realme UI 7.0, the tablet promises a refined software experience optimised for productivity and entertainment.

Photography needs are addressed with dual 8-megapixel cameras—one on the rear for capturing documents or scenes and another on the front for clear video calls. Connectivity suite includes Wi-Fi 5, Bluetooth 5.4, and a range of sensors such as ambient light, accelerometer, e-compass, and hall sensor. Immersive audio is provided by quad speakers tuned with Dolby Atmos support, while security is handled conveniently through a side-mounted fingerprint sensor integrated into the power button.

Powering the Realme Pad 3 is its standout 12,200mAh battery, enabling extended usage sessions without frequent recharges, supported by 45W fast charging for quick top-ups and even 6.5W reverse charging capability to juice up other devices. Despite packing such a large cell, the tablet maintains a sleek profile at just 6.6mm thickness and weighs approximately 578g, making it highly portable for students, professionals, and multimedia enthusiasts seeking a balanced, feature-rich device.
