The brand new Oppo Pad 6 offers a 144 Hz display, a fast CPU and an integrated 5G modem at prices starting at the equivalent of $515.
The Oppo Pad 6 is official, and with a height of 5.99 millimeters and a weight of 577 grams, it is considerably thinner and slightly lighter than the Oppo Pad 5. The aluminium body is quite common with a flat design and a pill-shaped camera module, and it features even screen bezels on all sides, Oppo also providing a blue version of the tablet.
Oppo has installed a 12.1-inch display based on an IPS panel with a resolution of 3,000 x 2,120 pixels, a frame rate of 144 Hz and a remarkable brightness of 900 nits, 98% of the DCI-P3 color space can be displayed. A stylus is not included, and must be compatible. Oppo has equipped the front and rear with 8 megapixel cameras.
Despite the thinner body, Oppo is able to install a 10,420 mAh battery, which can be charged with up to 67 watts via USB-C, just like the Chinese version of the Oppo Pad 5. Apart from the display, the processor is sure to be the talking point of the specs as the tablet should at least deliver near flagship performance with the MediaTek Dimensity 9500s. The specs include Wi-Fi 7, a 6G modem, six speakers, two microphones and an ambient light sensor, but not a fingerprint sensor, as is the case with the Oppo Pad 6.
