OPPO Pad Air tablet confirmed to go on sale in PH soon

In addition to the OPPO Reno8 5G, Reno8 Z 5G, Enco X2, and Enco Air2 Pro, OPPO has launched its first tablet on the local market. The OPPO Pad Air is set to go on sale in the Philippines soon, with local pricing and availability details to come sometime later.

(Update, September 1: The OPPO Pad Air is now official in the Philippines!)

Originally unveiled in China, the Pad Air is an affordable tablet, unlike the Qualcomm Snapdragon 870-based OPPO Pad, which was announced in end-February. It will still support stylus input, though, making it an attractive choice for graphic designers and digital artists who want a more wallet-friendly alternative to the iPad and Samsung’s Galaxy Tab S8 range.

In China, the OPPO Pad Air starts at ¥1,799 ($263 or P14,764) for 6GB RAM and 128GB of internal storage. The storage configuration that will be sold in the Philippines is listed to offer 4GB RAM alongside up to 3GB of virtual RAM, so the Pad Air might actually be cheaper when it arrives in local stores. It will be available in a lone Grey colorway.

Under the hood, the tablet is equipped with a sizable 7,100mAh battery that supports fast charging up to 18 watts over USB-C and a 6nm Qualcomm Snapdragon 680 4G chipset, the same processor inside the OPPO A96 that launched here with a P15,999 ($285) price tag.

On the audiovisual front, the tablet packs quad speakers with Dolby Atmos tuning, alongside a 10.36-inch LCD display with 2K resolution and advanced eye-care technology. The OPPO Pad Air will also have a single 8-megapixel camera on the rear and a 5-megapixel cam for selfies and video chat.
