OPPO nudges the tablet industry with the Pad Air. Yes, just to clarify, it's Pad, for those who might mistake it for another name.  

The OPPO Pad Air comes with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 680 and is supported by an AI System Booster, which OPPO says will help the tablet go through multitasking at a much smoother pace. So yes, feel free to switch between apps at ease.

The OPPO Pad Air features a microSD slot, so you can give your storage a little more breathing space with a 512GB card. With a 7100mAh battery, the OPPO Pad Air provides ample time for use. Additionally, if you need to charge the tablet quickly, it supports 18W charging.

OPPO is taking advantage of their ColorOS 13.1, which is available across their devices, and is now part of their tablet lineups. Through this feature, OPPO could easily share files. OPPO recommends pairing this feature with OPPO Reno 10 Pro 5G.

OPPO boasts that the Pad Air has Dolby Atmos quad-speakers. We haven't tried that out ourselves, but it sounds pretty impressive. We'll be sure to check that out should we do a review of the tablet. 

Of course, when it comes to tablets, most of us often think of entertainment first, before actual work. No judgment. I am one of those. So it pleases me to learn the OPPO Pad Air has a 2K HD display and has a certification to protect users from eye strains and blue light emissions, which all sounds great, as I am keen to catch up with my shows, (Jujutsu Kaisen for one, I hear Season 2 is insane.)

Okay, we got a decent specs sheet out of the way. Now let's dive into what really matters. How much does this thing cost? According to OPPO's press release, it's P11,999, and is available in the color Fog Gray -- perfect for the spooky season!
