Oppo has relaunched the Oppo Pad Air 5 in China in a new Starry White shade. It comes months after the debut of the standard Pad Air 5 and, aside from the new color, retains most of the same hardware as the original model.
However, the refreshed finish now comes with noticeably higher pricing across configurations.
The tablet starts at 2,099 yuan (~$309) for the 8GB + 128GB version, while the top-end 12GB + 256GB Soft Light model costs 2,999 yuan (~$442). That makes the new edition more expensive than the regular Pad Air 5, which launched at 1,899 yuan (~$280) for the same entry-level storage option.
Oppo Pad Air 5 Specifications
Like the standard version, the Starry White Edition features a 12.1-inch LCD display with a 2.8K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. Oppo says the panel has German TÜV Rheinland anti-reflection certification to make the screen easier to read outdoors under bright light.
Under the hood, the tablet uses MediaTek’s Dimensity 7300-Ultra chipset, paired with LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 3.1 storage. It is powered by a large 10,050mAh battery, and it supports 33W fast charging.
The Pad Air 5 also has AI features like one-click PPT generation, note summarization, and cross-app content collection. The tablet can also optimize handwriting in real time during note-taking, reducing the need to adjust pen settings manually.
The SIM-enabled variant continues to support standalone 5G connectivity. Oppo is also highlighting ecosystem features that allow the tablet to automatically share a nearby Oppo phone’s 5G connection without needing to manually enable hotspot mode.
Design-wise, the Pad Air 5 remains relatively slim at 6.83mm thick and weighs just under 600 grams depending on the version. Other features include Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth support, an 8-megapixel front and rear camera setup, keyboard and stylus compatibility, and ColorOS 16 out of the box.
The new Starry White Edition will go on sale in China on May 29th through Oppo’s official channels.
