The Oppo Pad of the third generation is set to be unveiled soon, featuring a 2.8K 11.6-inch LCD screen powered by a strong 9,510mAh battery. This battery can be quickly charged with the brand's 67W SuperVOOC technology.
Performance Expectations
Aside from a few exceptions like the RedMagic Nova, this Android tablet seems to be quite fast, especially with its display potentially offering a notably high refresh rate, likely around 144Hz.
Comparison with Previous Models
Interestingly, the specifications are similar to those of the existing Oppo Pad 2, which is also sold internationally under the OnePlus Pad name and can be found for $450.59 on Amazon. The upcoming "Pad 3" is rumored to come equipped with the Dimensity 8350, as indicated in a recent leak.
The Dimensity 8350 is a chipset that hasn't launched yet, and it might be perceived as a downgrade compared to the Pad 2's previous high-end 9000 platform.
Shifting Dynamics
It’s not entirely unexpected that the new Pad 3 may not be positioned as the top-tier Oppo product, especially since the brand has already rolled out its Pro version, also known as the premium OnePlus Pad 2, ahead of this release.
However, the successor could feature a revamped design, as whispers suggest it could be just 6.29mm thick and weigh 533 grams, making it thinner and a bit lighter than the Pad 2.
Thus, the Pad 3 might be marketed as a device that is gentle on both your backpack and your budget at its launch, which is anticipated to coincide with the unveiling of the Reno13 smartphone series, according to Digital Chat Station via Weibo.
