In the first half of 2023, a couple of brands launched flagship tablets in China, such as the Vivo Pad 2, Oppo Pad 2, Xiaomi Pad 6 series, and ZTE Axon Pad 5G. Speculations are rife that some of these brands are gearing up to launch budget-friendly tablets in the home market. A new tablet from Oppo has now received radio certification in China. In all likelihood, it could be called the Oppo Pad Air 2 when it arrives on the market.

As can be seen in the above screengrab, the model number of the upcoming Oppo tablet for the Chinese market is OPD2301. The listing reveals support for dual-band Wi-Fi and Bluetooth but has no other information about its core specifications. Therefore, it is unclear whether the device will offer 5G connectivity.

In a recent leak, tipster Digital Chat Station hinted that the Oppo Pad Air 2 could be equipped with an 8,000mAh battery. The tablet is expected to face competition from the Vivo Pad Air 2, Redmi Pad 2, and Realme Pad 2 in the Chinese market.

It appears that Oppo will be holding a major launch event in China in August. The event is likely to see the arrival of the Oppo Find N3 foldable phone and the Oppo Watch 5 series. The brand is likely to announce the Oppo Pad Air 2 at the same event.

The foldable phone is expected to come with key features, such as a 3.36GHz Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset, 50W wireless charging, a periscope zoom camera, and an IP rating. As per a recent leak, the Oppo Watch 5, which is codenamed Comet,” will have a curved-edge square display, a 570mAh battery, and eSIM support. It will arrive in black carbon fibre and white shades.
