Oppo has shared another early look at its upcoming Pad Mini. The teaser comes from Qiao Jiadong, Director of Smart Ecosystem Products at Oppo, and it mostly highlights the front design.
From what’s shown, the tablet uses a center punch-hole display placed along the shorter edge, with fairly even bezels on all sides. It gives the device a clean, symmetrical look, and it seems like Oppo is encouraging vertical use for things like reading or browsing. The bezels are quite slim as well.
A previous report points to an 8.8-inch OLED display with a resolution of 2880 × 1920 and a 3:2 aspect ratio. It’s also said to support a 144Hz adaptive refresh rate using LTPO tech, along with peak brightness of around 1800 nits and full DCI-P3 coverage. On paper, that should translate to smooth scrolling and decent visibility outdoors.
As for performance, the Pad Mini is expected to run on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 5, which should be more than enough for most games. The body itself looks slim, reportedly around 5.39mm thick and weighing about 279g, with a metal finish. Color options are said to include dark gray, purple, and cyan.
There’s also a single 13MP rear camera on the back, housed in a capsule-style module. Battery capacity is tipped at 8000mAh, with 67W fast charging, and there’s mention of eSIM support as well, which could make it more usable on the go.
The Pad Mini is expected to be part of Oppo’s upcoming launch event later this month, alongside products like the Watch X3 Mini, Enco Clip 2, and the Find X9 Ultra.
The overall direction is fairly clear: a compact tablet with a focus on display quality and performance. More details should be confirmed at launch.
