A bunch of hours ago, the OPPO Pad Air went official in the European market. It is the first OPPO tablet to hit Europe and it is also a device with a high value for money, thanks to its affordable price tag. But there is another tablet launched a few days ago representing a perfect competitor for the OPPO one. We are talking about the Motorola Moto Tab G62: Lenovo seems seriously intentioned to take on OPPO, Realme, and Samsung not only in the global smartphone market but in the tablet market as well. Is its new tablet good enough to challenge the best affordable tablets out there? In order to answer this question, after comparing the Motorola tablet to the Realme Pad, we decided to publish a comparison between the main specifications of the OPPO Pad Air and the Motorola Moto Tab G62.

Design

If I had to choose between these two tablets, I would definitely go for the OPPO Pad Air without thinking twice. It has a very interesting design made of two elegant pieces and it is very curated. It is one of the most beautiful tablets you can choose and even one of the thinnest and most lightweight ones, with a thickness of just 6.9 mm and a weight of 440 grams. It has a very high screen to body ratio and one single camera placed on the upper left corner of the rear side. It supports the stylus for handwriting and drawing, so it is a very good tablet for productivity, even though it is an affordable model. Even though the OPPO Pad Air wins the design comparison, the Motorola Moto Tab G62 remains a beautiful device. It is made entirely of aluminum with the exception of the front glass: it has an aluminum back, an aluminum frame, and a very thin profile with a thickness of just 7.5 mm. Further, it has a water repellent body, so you can use it even in the rain. The screen to body ratio is high even in this case but this device does not support the stylus for handwriting and drawing.

 

Display

If you are looking for the best image quality, you should go for the OPPO Pad Air. It has an IPS LCD display, so nothing particularly amazing because the best displays are OLED. But it is able to show up to one billion colors, so you can get good color accuracy. The display has a diagonal of 10.36 inches, a Full HD+ resolution of 1200 x 2000 pixels and, as already mentioned, it supports the stylus. The display of the Motorola Moto G62 is inferior in terms of image quality, but it is a bigger panel, with a diagonal of 10.6 inches. It has a Full HD+ resolution of 1200 x 2000 pixels and IPS LCD technology. Both the tablets feature four stereo speakers for an improved audio experience, but they lack a fingerprint reader and you can only unlock them through a code or other traditional methods.

 

Specs & Software

Now, let’s talk about the hardware department. These are midrange tablets, and midrange tablets are usually inferior to midrange phones. So you should not expect blazing speeds and the highest performance, but these devices are always more than acceptable. They are powered by the Snapdragon 680 4G mobile platform by Qualcomm: a chipset built with a 6 nm production process sporting an octa-core architecture composed of four Kryo 265 Gold CPUs running at a max frequency of 2.4 GHz, as well as four Kryo 265 Silver CPUs running at a frequency of 1.9 GHz, and an Adreno 610 GPU. The OPPO Pad Air wins the hardware comparison because it provides a higher amount of RAM and internal storage: it offers up to 6 GB of RAM and up to 128 GB of UFS 2.2 native storage which you can furtherly expand with a micro SD, while the Motorola Moto Tab G62 stops at 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of expandable native storage. These tablets run Android 12 out of the box, but the ColorOS for Pad found on the OPPO device is way better than the Motorola customized user interface.

 

Camera

Do you need a better rear camera? If so, then buy the OPPO Pad Air. It has the same 8 MP resolution as the Motorola Moto Tab G62, but thanks to a brighter f/2.0 focal aperture and a better camera algorithm, it is able to provide higher camera performance. On the other hand, the Moto Tab G62 by Motorola has a better 8 MP front camera.

 

Battery

The Motorola Moto Tab G62 is able to provide a longer battery life thanks to the presence of a bigger battery with a capacity of 7700 mAh.

 

Price

The OPPO Pad Air sells with a starting price of €213/$213 in the Indian market, while the Motorola Moto Tab G62 starts from €200/$200 at the actual change. Which one would you pick?
