OPPO hosted a press announcement in China today, during which it announced its Find X6 and Find X6 Pro flagship smartphones. The OPPO Pad 2 also got announced during the event, though it was overshadowed by the two phones.
The OPPO Pad 2 is essentially a rebranded OnePlus Pad
It turns out the OPPO Pad 2 tablet is a rebranded OnePlus Pad, as we expected. Not only do the two phones look the same, but they have almost identical spec sheets too.
This tablet is made out of metal and glass, and includes a circular camera island on the back, which has an odd placement. When you hold the device in landscape form, it’s centered up top. That’s not a placement we see on tablets all that often.
The device features an 11.6-inch 2800 x 2000 LCD display with a 144Hz refresh rate. This panel does have Dolby Vision support, and hardware-level blue light reduction too.
It is fueled by the MediaTek Dimensity 900 SoC
The MediaTek Dimensity 9000 SoC fuels this tablet, which is MediaTek’s 4nm processor. The OPPO Pad 2 includes 8GB or 12GB of LPDDR5 RAM, along with 256GB or 512GB of UFS 3.1 flash storage, respectively.
Android 13 comes pre-installed on the device, along with ColorOS 13.1 skin. A 9,510mAh battery is also included in the package, and it supports 67W SuperVOOC charging. A 67W charger is included in the box.
This tablet has four speakers, and Dolby Atmos support. It includes a 13-megapixel main camera (f/2.2 aperture), and an 8-megapixel front-facing camera (f/2.0 aperture).
The OPPO Pad 2 comes in two color options, while OPPO announced some accessories for it too
The device supports Bluetooth 5.3, and Wi-Fi 802.11ax. It comes in Light Gold and Nebula Gray color options. This tablet’s pricing starts at CNY2,999 ($436) for the 8GB RAM + 256GB storage variant. It goes all the way up to CNY3,999 ($582) for the 12GB RAM + 512GB storage option.
Now, OPPO also announced a smart touch keyboard alongside this tablet. That keyboard is priced at CNY599 ($87). The OPPO Pencil stylus also got shown off, and it’s priced at CNY499 ($72). There’s no word on the OPPO Pad 2’s global availability, though it most likely won’t launch globally. The OnePlus Pad is basically its global version.
