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.

Oppo is preparing to launch a new Android tablet on May 25, and from the early details, the company seems to be going for a more balanced approach instead of chasing only raw performance numbers.

The upcoming Oppo Pad 6 is scheduled to launch in China on May 25 at 18:00, and Oppo has already revealed quite a bit about the hardware ahead of the event.

One of the first things the company is highlighting is the design. The tablet measures just 5.99mm thick and weighs around 577 grams, which should make it fairly comfortable to carry around for classes, work, or longer reading sessions. It will be available in Starlight Blue, Galaxy Silver, and Deep Space Gray.

Oppo is using a 12.1-inch 3K LCD panel with a 144Hz refresh rate. The company says the “Soft Light” screen design also helps reduce glare and reflections significantly, which could make a noticeable difference for users who spend long hours reading documents or studying on the tablet.

Under the hood, the Pad 6 is powered by the new MediaTek Dimensity 9500s chipset. The company claims the tablet can score around 3.06 million points on AnTuTu, although benchmark numbers only tell part of the story in actual day-to-day use.

Battery life should not be much of a problem either. The tablet packs a large 10,420mAh battery along with 67W fast charging, which should comfortably handle a full day of mixed use.

On the software side, Oppo is putting a lot of emphasis on multitasking and productivity features. Things like floating windows, PC-style file management, stylus support, cross-device integration, and AI-powered note-taking tools are all part of the pitch this time. There is also support for sharing a nearby phone’s 5G connection directly with the tablet, which is a practical addition for users who work on the go without constant Wi-Fi access.

At least from the details revealed so far, the Oppo Pad 6 feels less like a flashy spec experiment and more like a tablet designed for people who actually plan to use it daily for work, study, streaming, and casual gaming.

Oppo Bubble: A selfie-focused accessory

The Oppo Bubble is a selfie display accessory that comes with a small circular screen that can magnetically attach to the back of a phone and can be used as a selfie preview display. It also appears to support custom emojis and images, allowing users to use it as a decorative mini display on the rear of the phone.

Alongside the Pad 6, Oppo is also expected to unveil the OPPO Enco Air 5s earbuds. However, nothing is known about the upcoming earbuds at the moment. The company is additionally preparing to introduce a new color option for the Oppo Pad Air 5, which originally launched in China in December 2025. The official poster suggests that it could be a white variant.

The Oppo Pad Air 5 features a 12.1-inch 2.8K LCD display with a 120Hz refresh rate and a 7:5 aspect ratio.
