Following the introduction of gaming tablets like the Lenovo Legion Y700, also known as the Lenovo Legion Tab, and the RedMagic Nova, it seems that Oppo is keen to join the competition. A recent report indicates that the Chinese technology company is preparing to launch its first gaming tablet.
New Details Emerge
The information has been shared by the well-known leaker, Digital Chat Station. They had previously disclosed important specifications of an unnamed compact tablet that will be equipped with MediaTek's Dimensity 9400 flagship chipset. However, the original Weibo post did not specify the name of the device.
In a follow-up comment on Weibo, the leaker confirmed the identity of the tablet. A user had suggested that the device was the X8 Mini, but Digital Chat Station clarified that this was incorrect. The tablet is actually part of the X8 series and will be named the Oppo X8 Pad.
Anticipation Builds
While no announcement date for the Oppo X8 Pad has been shared yet, it is unlikely to be unveiled before the Find X8 Ultra, which is expected to be announced in the upcoming spring season.
According to leaked specifications, the Oppo X8 Pad is set to feature an 8.8-inch high-resolution display with a fast refresh rate. This LCD screen will not have a punch hole and will instead have rounded corners. Since it’s a tablet, the absence of a punch hole is understandable, as the front camera will be placed within the bezel.
What to Expect
The Oppo X8 Pad will run on the Dimensity 9400 chipset, but there are still no details regarding the RAM and storage options. However, it is anticipated that there will be several configurations available. The tablet is also said to have a sleek metallic design and will operate on ColorOS 15, based on Android 15, along with support for fast charging.
While the launch date remains uncertain, it’s expected that the Oppo X8 Pad will first be available in China. It is still unclear whether it will be released more widely under the Oppo name or possibly rebranded under the OnePlus banner.
