Oppo entered the tablet market with the launch of the Oppo Pad in February earlier this year. Now, along with the Oppo Reno 8 series, the Chinese company has expanded its tablet portfolio with the unveiling of the affordable Oppo Pad Air in China. The tablet has a 120Hz display, a mid-range Snapdragon chipset, a large battery and more. Let's look at the specifications and price details of the Pad Air:
OPPO Pad Air: Budget Tablet with 2K Display & Four speakers?! 😱
The Oppo Pad Air has the same aesthetic as the original tablet, with its glossy dual-tone finish on the back panel. This time, however, the company has refrained from putting its own brand in the strip on the back. Instead, it has gone for a wavy pattern, but there is some shine to it. It weighs 440 grams and is quite slim at just 6.94 m.
Being a cheaper alternative to the Oppo Pad, this tablet's hardware has been downgraded on all fronts. Starting with the screen, the Pad Air has a smaller 10.36-inch 2K LTPS LCD with a standard 60Hz refresh rate and a 120Hz touch sampling rate. The original Oppo Pad had a 120Hz 2.5K+ LCD screen. The panel here has a resolution of 2000 x 1200 pixels, minimal black bezels and up to 360 nits of maximum brightness.
Under the hood, the company has replaced the Snapdragon 870 with a mid-range Snapdragon 680 chipset. It is an octa-core chipset with 4G support, built on the 6nm architecture and has Kryo 265 CPU cores and Adreno 610 GPU. You'll also find up to 6GB LPDR4x @ 2133MHz RAM and up to 128GB UFS 2.2 storage (expandable up to 512GB via a microSD card).
