Last month, Oppo confirmed that eligible OnePlus and Realme smartphones will transition to ColorOS beginning with Android 17, replacing OxygenOS and Realme UI in future releases. The company has now expanded the ColorOS 17 beta program to additional devices, giving more users an opportunity to experience the next major software update before its public rollout.

ColorOS 17 beta expands to more devices

In China, Oppo has opened ColorOS 17 Beta registrations for the following devices:

– Oppo Find N6 and Find N6 Satellite Edition

– Oppo Find X9 Pro and Find X9 Pro Satellite Edition

– Oppo Find X9 Ultra and Find X9 Ultra Satellite Edition

– Oppo Find X9s Pro

– Oppo Find X9

– Oppo Pad 5 Pro. Each device is limited to 300 participants, with beta builds scheduled to roll out in batches on Aug. 11 and Aug. 13.

The same beta recruitment has also been extended to OnePlus and Realme phones:

– OnePlus 15

– OnePlus 15T

– OnePlus Pad 3 Pro

– Realme GT 8 Pro and GT 8 Pro Aston Martin F1 Limited Edition

Meanwhile, in India, the ColorOS 17 Closed Beta is already open for these devices:

– Oppo Find X9 Pro

– Oppo Reno 15 Pro

– Oppo Reno 15 Pro Mini

– OnePlus 15

– OnePlus 15R

– Realme GT 8 Pro

Interested users must submit their applications before the announced deadline, complete a qualification quiz, and may also be required to sign a non-disclosure agreement before receiving the beta firmware.

Since this is an early log build, Oppo advises against installing it on a primary device because the software is expected to contain bugs and stability issues. Users who rely on a single smartphone are better off waiting for a newer beta build or the public beta release.

The move also reflects Oppo’s plan to unify software development across Oppo, OnePlus, and Realme, which could lead to faster updates, quicker bug fixes, and a more consistent software experience across the three brands.

What to expect from ColorOS 17

While Oppo has yet to officially detail all of ColorOS 17’s features, early beta information suggests the update will introduce a refreshed visual design with new lighting animations, illuminated edge effects, enhanced blur elements, redesigned rounded UI components, and smoother transition animations throughout the interface. The update is also expected to debut the next-generation Xiaobu Next AI assistant, alongside Android 17’s core enhancements and system optimizations.

After launching the Reno 15 series, Oppo has expanded its tablet portfolio in India with the launch of the Oppo Pad 5. The new tablet targets users looking for a large-screen Android device with productivity-focused features, long battery life, and optional 5G connectivity. While it shares the name with the China model, the Indian variant comes with notable hardware differences, which are detailed below.

Oppo Pad 5 specifications and features

The Oppo Pad 5 features a 12.1-inch LCD screen with a 2.8K resolution of 2800 x 1980 pixels and a 7:5 aspect ratio. The panel supports refresh rates of up to 120Hz, Dolby Vision, and offers up to 900 nits brightness in high brightness mode. OPPO has opted for an anti-glare matte finish, making it suitable for reading, note-taking, and extended usage.

Powering the tablet is the MediaTek Dimensity 7300-Ultra chipset built on a 4nm process, paired with 8GB of LPDDR5X RAM and up to 256GB of UFS 3.1 storage. The device runs on Android 16-based ColorOS 16 and includes AI-assisted note-taking features aimed at improving organisation and productivity.

The post Oppo Pad 5 launches with 12.1-inch display, massive battery, and AI note-making features appeared first on Gizmochina.

OPPO has officially unveiled its Pad 5 Matte Display Edition globally ahead of the January 6, 2025 launch event in Malaysia, where the Reno 15 series smartphones will debut. The tablet’s India arrival is confirmed through a dedicated Flipkart landing page revealing complete specifications.

As per the global product page, the OPPO Pad 5 Matte Display Edition features a 12.1-inch 2.8K (2800 x 1980 pixels) anti-glare matte display with 120Hz adaptive refresh rate, 900 nits peak brightness, and Dolby Vision support. TUV Rheinland certified, it reduces glare by 97% and blue light by 70%. The 7:5 aspect ratio screen pairs with the OPPO Pencil 2R stylus, offering 20-hour battery life and rapid charging (10 minutes equals 12 hours usage).

AI-powered productivity tools include Circle to Note, AI Recording Summary, AI Summary, Handwriting Formula Calculation, and AI Eraser. Real-time handwriting polish enhances note-taking capabilities.

A 10,050mAh battery supports 33W SUPERVOOC fast charging, delivering 53 hours of music playback, 15 hours of video streaming, or 6 hours of heavy gaming. Quad speakers provide cinematic audio output.

Running ColorOS 16 based on Android 16, the tablet promises 48 months of fluency protection, certified by TUV SUD. Cross-ecosystem connectivity enables seamless file transfers between OPPO Pad, iPhone, and PC devices through O+ Connect. Features like Quick App Launch & Switch and Flux Home Screen optimize user experience. The OPPO Pad 5 Matte Display Edition will launch in Aurora Pink and Starlight Black colors.

Unlike the Chinese version of the OPPO Pad 5, the global and Indian market models will be rebranded versions of the OPPO Pad Air 5 tablet that recently launched in China. This device is also a rebranded version of the OnePlus Pad Go 2 tablet.

The post OPPO Pad 5 Matte Display Edition Listed Globally Ahead of January 6 Launch appeared first on Gizmochina.

OPPO Pad 5 has shown up on Flipkart’s Reno 15 series landing page, just days after appearing on OPPO’s official India website. This suggests the tablet will launch in India alongside the upcoming Reno 15 smartphones.

Flipkart doesn’t have a full product page yet, but the listing reveals several specs. The OPPO Pad 5 will come in Black and Pink colors with a White stylus. It features a 12.1-inch eye-comfort display with 2.8K resolution, AI note-taking features, and a 10,050mAh battery. Earlier listings confirmed the WiFi-only variant will have 8GB RAM and 128GB storage.

Here’s where it gets confusing. The OPPO Pad 5 coming to India is not the same device that launched in China under the same name. OPPO is rebranding the OPPO Pad Air 5 as the OPPO Pad 5 for the Indian market. This means the Indian version will be a more budget-focused tablet compared to the Chinese flagship model.

The rebranding goes even deeper. The OPPO Pad Air 5 is actually a rebadged OnePlus Pad Go 2, which recently launched in other markets. So Indian buyers are essentially getting the OnePlus Pad Go 2 with OPPO branding.

Based on previous listings and reports, the OPPO Pad 5 for India should have a 12.1-inch LCD panel with up to 900 nits peak brightness, 2.8K resolution, and eye-comfort certifications. It will likely run on a MediaTek Dimensity 7300 chipset with a 10,050mAh battery and 33W wired fast charging support. Stylus support is also confirmed.

Since the tablet appears on both OPPO’s website and the Reno 15 landing page on Flipkart, it will probably launch alongside the Reno 15 series. OPPO should announce pricing and availability details soon.

The post OPPO Pad 5 Spotted on Flipkart with MediaTek Dimensity 7300, 10,050mAh Battery & 33W Fast Charging appeared first on Gizmochina.

Oppo is preparing to release the Reno 15 series of smartphones in India soon. But it seems like these mid range devices might not be arriving alone, as a fresh sighting has hinted that the Oppo Pad 5 could be launching in the region as well.

Oppo Pad 5 India Launch Near?

To recall, the Chinese tech giant is expected to unveil the Reno 15 series in India sometime next month. Meanwhile, the Oppo Pad Air 5 will be launching in China tomorrow (25th December 2025). But in a surprising twist, the Oppo Pad 5 has just surfaced on the brand’s official website. The company first released the Oppo Pad 5 as a flagship tablet. However, the global version doesn’t appear to be a premium model.

In other words, the Oppo Pad 5 global/Indian variant might be a rebranded model of another existing tablet. Looking at this model, the design appears quite similar to the Oppo Pad Air 5. Looking at the official listing, the Oppo Pad 5 will arrive in India with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage. The WiFi only model surfaced on the website with a tall 12.1-inch display with a 2.8K resolution and eye comfort features.

A black color option can be seen along with support for a stylus. Other notable features that we can expect from the Oppo Pad Air 5 include a massive 10,050mAh battery pack, 33W wired fast charging, a display with 900 nits peak brightness, and a Dimensity 7300 SoC (rumored).

The Watch S will be the slimmest smartwatch ever from Oppo. It is said to weigh around 38 grams and measure around 8.x mm.
