Oppo has launched the Oppo Pad 6, the latest in its flagship tablet line. But it now costs 700 yuan, or some $103 more than its predecessor, and it’s not like you’re getting a major upgrade for the price.
The Oppo Pad 6 retains the 12.1-inch LCD screen with a 3000 x 2120 resolution and 144Hz refresh rate.
The brand, however, introduced a new soft light screen version that uses nano-etching to reduce glare by 97%, according to the company. It also has a paper-like color mode designed to make long reading sessions easier on the eyes.
The rest of the screen specs, like 900 nits peak brightness and DCI-P3 color gamut, are the same, though.
Design-wise, the Pad 6 measures 5.99mm thick and weighs around 577 grams. Oppo is offering the device in Starlight Blue, Starlight Silver, and Deep Space Gray finishes.
Inside, the Pad 6 gets an iterative upgrade in the form of the MediaTek Dimensity 9500s chipset. This is paired with LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 3.1 storage. Oppo claims the tablet scores more than 3.06 million points on AnTuTu benchmarks and can handle simultaneous 3K video recording and 144fps gaming workloads.
The tablet even shares a 10,420mAh battery with 67W charging with its predecessor. Oppo says it can last up to 56 days on standby and maintain healthy battery capacity for four years.
A lot of software, and even more AI underneath
Like most Android launches in 2026, AI features are everywhere. The Pad 6 includes real-time audio transcription for classroom recordings, AI-generated note summaries, handwriting beautification, and a “circle to search” feature for solving questions by circling them on-screen. Oppo is also adding a journaling mode that lets users drag photos into notes, convert rough sketches into polished illustrations, and even import Live Photos.
The tablet ships with ColorOS 16 and includes several productivity-focused features aimed at students and office users. Oppo’s multi-window system allows multiple resizable apps on-screen at once, while the bundled PC-style WPS office suite supports advanced formatting and spreadsheet editing. The Pad 6 can also connect with phones and computers for clipboard syncing, screen mirroring, and drag-and-drop file transfers.
Oppo is additionally trying to make the Pad 6 more platform-agnostic than previous devices. The tablet supports file sharing with Android devices as well as Apple hardware, including the iPhone, iPad, and Mac. It can also share a phone’s 5G connection automatically without requiring a separate hotspot setup.
Other specifications include Wi-Fi 7 support, six speakers, dual Bluetooth headphone connectivity, and 8-megapixel front and rear cameras. There’s no SIM card support or fingerprint scanner, with facial recognition handling biometric authentication instead.
Pricing and Availability
Besides the processor, the Oppo Pad 6 doesn’t really bring major improvements in other areas. Still, Oppo has increased the starting price from 2,599 yuan (~$383) for the previous generation to 3,299 yuan (~$486). The 12GB / 256GB and 16GB / 512GB variants are priced at 3,899 yuan (~$575) and 4,099 yuan (~$604), respectively.
Meanwhile, the Soft Light Edition with 8GB / 256GB and 12GB / 256GB storage configurations costs 3,599 yuan (~$531) and 3,999 yuan (~$589), respectively.
The sale starts on May 29. The conversions are based on current exchange rates.
