Chinese manufacturer Oppo might just have an alternative tablet offering for the value-conscious – though of course, the Oppo Pad Mini looks to be more of a direct rival if form factor matters more than price.

The Oppo Pad Air 6 has just been announced – or should that be pre-announced? – a week ahead of its official launch alongside the Oppo Reno 17 smartphone line.
This is the follow-up to the Oppo Pad Air 5, which arrived in global markets as the Oppo Pad 5. So we can probably take it as read that this will be the Oppo Pad 6 when it finally arrives on our shores.
Messy naming scheme aside, the Oppo Pad 6 is shaping up to be broadly similar to its predecessor. It’ll be fronted by another 12.1-inch LCD with a 2,800 x 1,980 resolution, a 120Hz refresh rate, and a peak brightness of 900 nits.
You can even specify an iPhone Duo-esque matte display if you prefer that glare-free finish, while there’s also stylus support and a full quad-speaker array. Everything a potential media-loving iPad convert could want, basically.
Oppo Pad 6 performance, battery, cameras & more
Performance will almost certainly fall well short of the latest iPad Mini (and the previous generation, for that matter), with the confirmed MediaTek Dimensity 7360 Super chip making it sound very much like an incremental upgrade on the Oppo Pad 5’s Dimensity 7300-Ultra.
