Shortly after teasing a new tablet in India, OPPO has now confirmed it’s the Pad Mini. The tablet is expected to debut alongside the Find X10 series in India. OPPO is also launching the Enco X4 wireless earbuds. The Pad Mini is OPPO’s flagship compact tablet with a powerful chipset and will most likely act as a direct competitor to the iPad Mini in India. While there are flagship tablets in India already, the Pad Mini stands out with its compact size.

OPPO has teased the Pad Mini on X, revealing key details about the upcoming tablet. It’s called the OPPO Pad Mini Matte Display Edition, and the tablet will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5, the same chipset powering phones like the iQOO 15R and OnePlus 15R. The tablet is confirmed to pack an 8,000mAh battery, teased to deliver all-day power. The OPPO Pad Mini also has a 144Hz refresh rate display, which should be beneficial while gaming. 

More details should be revealed soon, but since the tablet is already official, we have an idea of what to expect. The OPPO Pad Mini’s highlight will be its compact 8.8-inch size, making it a good option for those who want something larger than a phone but still not too big. This would also put it close to the iPad Mini, which is known to be a premium and powerful compact tablet. The OPPO Pad Mini also features a 13MP rear camera and an 8MP front camera. 

Since the OPPO Pad Mini sits in the premium segment, it will most likely be priced on the higher side. However, if you’ve been looking for a compact tablet that offers flagship-level hardware, the OPPO Pad Mini could be worth waiting for. The OPPO Pad Mini could also be a worthwhile upgrade if you’re switching from an older tablet to a more premium one.
