Hey, what’s up? Sami here.
Today we are going to take a quick look at the OPPO Pad,
OPPO’s first Android tablet.
This is a real English hands-on video because I was there at the launch event
and spent several hours with it.
There was an illustrator there who even drew a picture of me and Cymye
by using the OPPO Pad, which I really liked
and I can’t wait to share my user experience with you.
And please subscribe to my channel, turn on that notification bell
so you won’t miss any real hands-on video from me.
Without further ado, let’s get started.
First things first, let’s check out the design. The one I’m reviewing is the limited Artist
Edition, which flashes with this silver accents as I change to different angles. There is a huge
OPPO logo lies in the center of the back panel, and beside it there is someone’s signature,
I’ve no idea whose this is, but it looks very similar to my three-year-old daughter’s scribble,
seems Cristina got talent.
There is a 13MP camera and a flash on the top right corner.
I will show you a couple of photos later.
Moving on, we have the power button and two speakers on the top side,
the speakers as OPPO claimed with support for Dolby Atmos and Hi-Res audio certification.
On the right side are the volume rocker, mic, and a magnetic
area for the pencil stylus. When you put the stylus there it will be automatically
attached and the screen will pop up a battery indicator
and at the same time charge the stylus wirelessly.
The magnetic is strong btw, but yeah, please don’t shake too much.
While at the bottom we have another two speakers and a type-c charging port.
Nothing on the left side.
Moving to the front, you get an 11-inch LTPS LCD with 2.5k resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate.
The screen supports HDR10 content and has symmetrical bezels with an 8MP selfie cam
integrated into the side bezel.
Under the hood, it sports the Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 paired with
up to 256gigs of storage and up to 8 gigs of RAM, btw, it supports a max of 5gigs of RAM expansion.
The system is the ColorOS 12 for Pad based on Android 11.
Speaking of that, I really want to show you some of
the “Special features” from this tablet, which I think is awesome.
You swipe down from the middle of the screen with two fingers to split the screen,
thus you can operate two apps on the screen for easier multitasking.
You can also adjust the size of each side.
If you don’t want a big display, just use four fingers to do a grab gesture
like the video showed to float a window.
Also, there is a feature that I really like: the multi-Screen Connect.
You can connect with your OPPO phone and operate your phone on the tablet.
This is not something new as we’ve seen this from Huawei Harmony OS or even Xiaomi.
I’m still very happy to see this feature on the OPPO Pad.
There are other features like Quick Return Bubble and Smart Sidebar,
which are basically the same as the ColorOS 12, one of the best I’ve ever used.
The OPPO Pad also comes with some accessories like that pencil stylus as I’ve mentioned before.
It supports 4096 levels of pressure sensitivity and 13-hour battery life on a single charge. It
is responsive and accurate, I didn’t feel lag at all no matter how fast I scribble, awesome!
It is a smart pencil as well, you double tap on the stylus to switch between the pen and eraser tool.
If you write with more force, you get deeper color writings.
There is also a magnetic keyboard for dedicated typing if you want. It is a well-built solid
keyboard with no wobbly parts here and there, much better than some of the others I’ve used before.
But you have to know it’s a portable keyboard so it won’t give you the typing experience
from a full-sized one and I would imagine long typing would get your fingers cramped.
As a tablet, you probably don’t care about the camera that much,
still I took a few samples with Cymye there, you can check it out.
Actually, photos look great with details, not bad for a tablet.
Alright, my conclusion for this OPPO Pad is it is a really solid,
elegant, and productive tablet. It looks beautiful and premium with this metal frame
and frosted glass back design and it’s just 6.99mm thick and weighs 507 grams.
The reason I’m saying it’s productive is it offers excellent accessories like the pencil stylus and keyboard,
and you can really do something with them… if you are talented with something like this illustrator,
who did beautiful pictures of me and Cymye, surely it improves your productivity
or my wife’s temper.
