Oppo's Next Flagship Tablet Promises Major Upgrades
Oppo appears to be gearing up for a significant upgrade to its tablet lineup with the rumored Oppo Pad 3. Recent leaks from reliable tipster Digital Chat Station have revealed impressive specifications that could position the Pad 3 as a strong competitor in the high-end tablet market.
Display: Bigger and Sharper
The Oppo Pad 3 is said to feature a 12.1-inch LCD display, a step up from its predecessor's 11.61-inch screen. More importantly, the resolution is getting a boost to 3K (3000 x 2120 pixels), which should result in crisper text and images. The 144Hz refresh rate is expected to carry over from the Pad 2, ensuring smooth scrolling and animations.
Performance: Snapdragon Power
Under the hood, Oppo is reportedly equipping the Pad 3 with Qualcomm's latest and greatest - the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset. This marks a significant upgrade from the MediaTek Dimensity 9000 found in the Pad 2, potentially offering substantial gains in both CPU and GPU performance.
The tablet is rumored to come with up to 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage, though a base model with 8GB of RAM is also expected. This hardware combination should provide ample power for multitasking, productivity apps, and even demanding games.
Battery and Charging: Long-lasting with Quick Top-ups
Powering the device is a large 9,510mAh battery, which should provide excellent battery life. When it's time to recharge, the Pad 3 is said to support 67W fast charging, allowing for quick top-ups between uses.
Additional Features
- Cameras: 13MP rear camera and 8MP front-facing camera
- Build: All-metal unibody design
- Stylus: Support for Oppo Pencil 2 with linear motor feedback
- Software: Expected to run ColorOS based on Android 14
Availability and Rebranding
While the Oppo Pad 3 may initially launch in China, there's speculation that it could see a global release as the OnePlus Pad 2, similar to how the original OnePlus Pad was essentially a rebranded Oppo Pad 2.
However, recent reports suggest that the launch of both the Oppo Pad 3 and its potential OnePlus counterpart may have been postponed. The reasons for this delay are currently unclear.
As we await official confirmation from Oppo, these leaked specifications paint a picture of a compelling high-end tablet that could give competitors a run for their money. Stay tuned for more updates as we approach the eventual launch of the Oppo Pad 3.
