Verdict: Flagship Android tablet experience at a mid-range price
The new premium tablet from Oppo is a true multi-talent in a high-quality design. Thanks to its large 13.2-inch screen and the fast Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC, the Oppo Pad 4 Pro has strong arguments for a purchase in the mid-range. It has little competition in this segment or rather, alternatives like the Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra and the iPad Pro 13 are placed in the high-end of the spectrum.
The LCD of the Oppo Pad 4 Pro has certain disadvantages compared to the OLED offerings from the competition in terms of contrast, but the PMW-free display and high resolution are definite positives; sensitive users in particular can thus use the Oppo tablet without hesitation.
Furthermore, the power consumption is extremely low for a large tablet, even without an OLED display.
Given the Oppo tablet's price, there are few real points of criticism.
Nonetheless, there is one hardware deficiency that remains puzzling and one that could become quite frustrating in everyday use: the missing fingerprint sensor. During our time with the device, the existing Face Unlock function works rather poorly on the Pad 4 Pro and is also less secure compared to a conventional fingerprint sensor.
Also, the lack of 5G and GNSS capabilities and issues with palm recognition leave much to be desired.
Pros
Cons
Price and availability
The Oppo Pad 4 Pro has been released exclusively in China at this point. Prices start from ¥3,299 (approx. €400) for 8 GB RAM and 256 GB storage.
At Trading Shenzhen, our rental partner, prices start at around €520 for the Oppo Pad 4 Pro. Similar to its counterpart, the OnePlus Pad 2 Pro, which has near-identical specification, a European launch seems likely given that the predecessors of both tablets were released globally.
However, Oppo has not yet confirmed when or at what price the tablets will be launched in Europe.

- Potential competitors in comparison
The Oppo Pad 4 Pro is positioned as a direct competitor to the Apple iPad Pro 13 and iPad Air 13. This is because the Pad 4 Pro features a flagship Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC, up to 16 GB RAM, and 512 GB storage in a form factor that is similar to the iPad Pro and iPad Air.
Unlike the Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra, the Oppo Pad 4 Pro uses a 7:5 aspect ratio for the display, which corresponds to that of an A4 sheet paper.
Additionally, users have the option of converting the Pad 4 Pro to a work machine with the optional keyboard case with trackpad and a stylus.
Specifications of the Oppo Pad 4 Pro
Case: Glass-aluminum construction with thin edges
The Oppo Pad 4 Pro leaves a strong impression both visually and in terms of haptics, with a housing made of glass and aluminum.
The metal unibody construction ensures that the Pad 4 Pro can easily withstand slight twisting attempts. The matte surface conceals fingerprints very well.
Unfortunately, this mid-range tablet lacks any special certification for dust or water resistance.
The Oppo Pad 4 Pro offers a large 13.2-inch display, but this size makes it difficult to hold it comfortably with one hand, especially since the Pad 4 Pro weighs almost 100 g more than the Huawei MatePad Pro 13.2.
With a thickness of just under 6 mm, the Pad 4 Pro is remarkably slim and exudes a premium feel.
Boasting a screen-to-body ratio of over 87%, the LTPS panel features very thin bezels for a tablet.
For perspective, an iPad Air 13 only achieves an 86% screen-to-body ratio.
That being said, Oppo has not made clear any information about the protective glass used.
Features: Extra-large tablet with USB 3.2
Oppo delivers the Pad 4 Pro tablet with 8 GB, 12 GB, or 16 GB of RAM options along with 256 GB and 512 GB of internal storage.
SKUs with lesser RAM sizes are specified with UFS 4.0 storage and LPDDR5x-4266 memory, while the 16 GB option uses the newer LPDDR5T-4800.
Unfortunately, Oppo does not allow for storage expansion nor offers a 3.5 mm headphone jack with the Pad 4 Pro.
Befitting its price, the Pad 4 Pro features a fast USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C port. This port enables a theoretical data transfer rate of up to 5 GBit/s and can also be used as an output for display signals on external screens with the help of a DisplayPort adapter.
There are also three contact points on the back for connecting the 505 g Smart Touch Keyboard Case.
Software: ColorOS 15 based on Android 15 with seven years of updates
In true Oppo fashion, the underlying Android 15 OS is combined with the company's own ColorOS 15 user interface. Security patches during the testing period were up to date till April 2025.
Questions remain about Oppo's plans for software support for the Chinese variant of the tablet, as the manufacturer does not yet officially the Pad 4 Pro in the Oppo Security Center.
The long-term software maintenance of the likes of a Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra with a seven-year update cadence is highly unlikely to be offered by Oppo for the Pad 4 Pro. The Chinese version is more likely to get four to five years of updates.
If the Pad 4 Pro does get a European launch, it will be subject to new EU regulations, meaning that support can be expected until at least 2031.
It is worth mentioning about the Pad 4 Pro's compatibility with Apple devices like the MacBook Pro for sharing photos or files. With the O+ Connect app, the Pad 4 Pro also functions as an external multi-touch screen.
The Boundless View feature is particularly useful, allowing three apps to be used simultaneously across the display boundaries.
Sustainability
Oppo definitely has some catching up to do when it comes to transparency on its sustainable goals.
Unfortunately, there is no specific information on the number of recycled materials used. There is also no focus on user-repairability, and verifying this aspect is nearly impossible.
The packaging of the Pad 4 Pro does not use plastic and is printed with inks based on soybean oil. According to the company's sustainability report, 45% of the fibers used for the packaging are made from recycled materials.
Communication and GNSS: No 5G or navigation
Although the Pad 4 Pro supports the latest Wi-Fi 7 protocol, it does not support access to the fast 6 GHz frequency band for Wi-Fi transmission.
In combination with our reference Asus ROG Rapture GT-AXE11000 router, the Oppo tablet only connects in the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, although a high speed is still possible with our Wi-Fi 6E router thanks to VHT160 in the 5 GHz frequency band.
We measured receive rates of over 1,800 Mbps at the peak. However, we are well below this when transmitting.
The Pad 4 Pro does not have a GNSS module for determining the location, so the positioning can only be roughly estimated via known Wi-Fi networks. This premium tablet from Oppo does not feature a cellular module either.

Cameras: Usable 13 MP shots in good lighting
The cameras on a large device like the Pad 4 Pro are rather secondary for most users, but the Oppo tablet still offers two reasonably usable cameras.
The 8 MP front-facing camera delivers good image quality in daylight with decent sharpness, though there are occasional problems with the exposure.
A 13 MP sensor is present on the back that takes perfectly usable photos of subjects in bright light. However, on closer inspection, the photos show limited details and have a low dynamic range.
Our color analysis under defined artificial light reveals very few major outliers (DeltaE > 10).
Nevertheless, the Pad 4 Pro is well suited for scanning documents or digitizing notes for which there is a special mode in the camera app.

Accessories and Warranty: 67 W adapter comes in the box
The scope of delivery includes a 67 W fast-charging power adapter, a USB Type-A to Type-C data and charging cable, and information material in Chinese.
Our rental partner Trading Shenzhen additionally bundles in an EU adapter for the Chinese charger along with a USB OTG adapter.
Oppo offers the matching Pencil 2 Pro for about €100 and an optional keyboard cover for €130 as additional accessories for the Pad 4 Pro.
Our imported device comes with a 12-month warranty. In the event of a warranty claim, Trading Shenzhen offers the option of sending the tablet to a German shipping address.
Input devices and operation: Oppo cuts a few important corners
Touch inputs are implemented rapidly and accurately on the 13.2-inch LTPS panel with its 540 Hz sampling rate. However, the Pad 4 Pro's touchscreen scans possible touches only 120 times per second as standard.
Thanks to the high 144 Hz refresh rate, animations on the ColorOS interface appear very smooth.
The 7:5 aspect ratio of the Pad 4 Pro is similar to that of a sheet of A4 paper and that of an iPad Air 13 than, for example, those of Galaxy Tabs from Samsung.
The aspect ratio of the Pad 4 Pro thus offers a wider viewing area compared to conventional 16:9 panels, which is particularly advantageous for reading documents or surfing the Internet.
The Pad 4 Pro is compatible with Oppo's Pencil 2 Pro, which weighs around 15 g and is purportedly capable of distinguishing over 16,000 pressure levels. This enables handwritten notes and sketching with the Oppo tablet.
The manufacturer's claimed latency of 2 ms ranks among the best in its class. Unfortunately, we did not receive a test sample of the Pencil 2 Pro to put these claims to test.
Notably, there is no vibration motor in this mid-range tablet. There is no fingerprint scanner either. We really cannot fathom understand why Oppo has cut corners here.
Biometric identification is possible only via face recognition using the front camera. The 2D face recognition did not really convince us in the test, even in good lighting conditions; other manufacturers tend to do this better. This method is also considered to be rather less secure than fingerprints.
Furthermore, the palm rejection feature needs to be optimized on the software side so that inputs with the stylus or finger are not blocked. This did not work reliably on the Pad 4 Pro at the time of testing.
Display: Bright 13.2-inch 144 Hz LTPS panel with no PWM
The Pad 4 Pro sports 13.2-inch LTPS panel that can adaptively reduce the frame rate from 144 Hz to 60 Hz. With a 3,392 x 2,400 resolution, the screen achieves a high pixel density of 315 PPI, which is above the 300 PPi "magic" limit. For comparison, an iPad Pro 13 only manages a 264 PPI pixel density.
Oppo claims a maximum brightness of 600 cd/m², which we can confirm on a pure white background. At an average picture level (APL) 18, the LCD achieved a high 903 cd/m² luminosity, which matches the advertised peak luminance of 900 nits. While not perfect for HDR content, the luminance is sufficient for a good viewing experience.
We could not detect any PWM flickering for the 12-bit panel in our measurement, which is a real advantage for users sensitive to screen flicker.

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)
| Screen flickering / PWM not detected |  | ||
In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 8350 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 343500) Hz was measured. | |||
The settings for the display are extensive. In addition to various color profiles, the color temperature and color space can be adjusted as well.
Nevertheless, differences in individual colors are clearly visible even in the rather small sRGB color space. The black level of 0.46 cd/m² ensures a good contrast ratio of around 1:1,500 in everyday use.

Viewing angles of the Oppo tablet are quite stable, with slight clouding only seen when the display is completely black — hardly noticeable in everyday use.
The 144 Hz panel offers sufficient brightness reserves for outdoor use. However, reflections on the glass surface are still annoying.
Performance: Flagship Qualcomm SoC takes on the Apple M3
The Oppo Pad 4 Pro features the Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, which is quite remarkable for the mid-range price segment. In contrast to the Oppo Find N5, the Pad 4 Pro does not use the 8 Elite with seven Oryon Gen 2 Performance cores but a cut-down variant with six cores.
In Geekbench tests, the Pad 4 Pro even outperforms a Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra. The iPad Air 13 with an M3 chip does not come close to the Pad 4 Pro's single-core numbers.
That being said, the Oppo table is quite weak in the AI tests and system benchmarks.

The integrated Adreno 830 GPU is very powerful. In the demanding tier tests, it outperforms an Immortalis-G720 of the Tab S10 Ultra and a solid 44 fps is possible even with a high 4K resolution.
The Adreno 830's performance is often more than 30% than an iPad Air 13 with the M3 chip despite the Apple tablet having to handle significantly fewer pixels.

Games: Big tablet = big gaming fun?
We take a closer look at the Pad 4 Pro's graphics prowess with current Android games apart from the benchmark package above.
We use GameBench to determine the exact frame rates for two selected games from the Play Store.
High frame rate gaming beyond 100 fps is not possible with the Pad 4 Pro in PUBG Mobile.
That the Snapdragon 8 Elite has plenty of horsepower is evident by the chip's performance in the demanding Genshin Impact.
Here, the frame rate is highly constant in the highest graphics settings. However, frame rates higher than 60 fps are currently not possible in Android.
According to Oppo, however, Pad 4 Pro can support 120 fps in certain games.
Emissions: Oppo Pad 4 Pro stays pretty cool
Temperature
Thanks to the large surface area available for cooling, the resultant waste heat from the Snapdragon 8 Elite can be dissipated well. Apart from a hotspot area, the Pad 4 Pro maintains pleasant case temperatures of under 40 °C even after prolonged load thanks to its graphite and VC cooling.
That being said, a reduction in system performance due to the heat emissions is still evident in 3DMark stress tests.
We determine a moderate throttling of around 20%. Still, the Pad 4 Pro achieves twice the frame rate of the Lenovo Yoga Tab Plus in the Wild Life stress test.
(±) The maximum temperature on the upper side is 44.5 °C / 112 F, compared to the average of 33.7 °C / 93 F, ranging from 20.7 to 53.2 °C for the class Tablet.
(-) The bottom heats up to a maximum of 49.3 °C / 121 F, compared to the average of 33.2 °C / 92 F
(+) In idle usage, the average temperature for the upper side is 26.2 °C / 79 F, compared to the device average of 30 °C / 86 F.

Speakers
One of the strengths of the large Oppo tablet is space for a great audio system with a total of four speakers, with two tweeters and two woofers on each side.
Despite this arrangement, our pink noise measurement shows that the mids are too strong. Bass is perceivable, but other flagship tablets offer more depth to the sound.
A wired headphone solution is possible via the USB Type-C port, while Bluetooth 5.4 serves wireless audio connections.
The Pad 4 Pro supports a wide range of Bluetooth audio codecs, including SBC, AAC, aptX, aptX HD, aptX Adaptive, LDAC, and LHDC.
