New 12.1-inch tablet with up to 12 GB RAM and 120 Hz display detailed ahead of launch

It's been known for a while now that Oppo has been gearing up to introduce a new premium tablet in its home market of China, named the Pad Air6.

The company has decided to reveal the product in its entirety, finally giving us some concrete information to report on. According to the tablet's official spec sheet, the Pad Air6 is set to be powered by an octa-core Dimensity 7360 SoC, which should offer a respectable amount of compute for day-to-day tasks.

The SoC comes equipped with 8 GB of LPDDR5X RAM in the 128 GB (UFS 3.1) storage variant, while folks going with the 256 GB (UFS 4.1) SKU will be able to opt for up to 12 GB of RAM.

At the front, a 12.1-inch IPS display with a resolution of 2800 x 1980 and a refresh rate of 120 Hz has been fitted.

An OLED option seems to be missing, as was the case with its predecessor, the Oppo Pad Air5, or Pad 5 (globally). Moreover, also like its predecessor, the panel reportedly covers 98% and 100% of the DCI-P3 and sRGB color gamuts respectively, and peaks at 900 nits of brightness.

The tablet will also feature 33-watt fast charging to juice up its 10,050 mAh battery, which, as the astute may have noticed, is also exactly the same as the Pad 5.

Other notable details include a four-speaker setup, an 8 MP front camera, an 8 MP rear camera, USB 2.0 support, WiFi 6, and a chassis which measures in at 6.89-mm thick and tips the scales at around 603 grams or 1.33 lbs - again, nearly identical to its predecessor. A 5G cellular variant will also be available.

Pricing and launch details

Unfortunately, pricing details are still under wraps. Given just how similar the Pad Air6 is to its predecessor, we can expect it to be priced rather similarly. 

That said, we do know that the tablet will be available for purchase in China from November 16 onwards.

As for the global market, the Pad Air6 is likely to be launched as the Pad 6. For reference, the Pad 5 was launched earlier this year, with a price tag of roughly €399 ($447) to €529 ($593) depending on the market.
