The Oppo Pad 2 tab is shaping up to be a significant upgrade over its predecessor, with leaked specifications pointing to an 11-inch display, a faster MediaTek Dimensity 9000 chipset, and a bigger battery than the original Oppo Pad.
Oppo Pad 2 Tab: What the Leaks Reveal
Tipster Digital Chat Station shared the rumoured specifications of the Oppo Pad 2 through a Chinese micro-blogging platform. According to these leaks, the tablet will retain the same 11-inch LCD panel as the original Oppo Pad, delivering a resolution of 2560 x 1600 pixels. The major change under the hood is the processor: the Snapdragon 870 chipset found in the first Oppo Pad will be replaced by the MediaTek Dimensity 9000, a far more powerful chip that competes with flagship-grade processors.
The tipster also hinted at a bigger battery and more RAM and storage compared to the original model, though exact figures have not yet been confirmed. These two leaks from the same source add credibility to the rumoured specifications.
Expected Launch: INNO Day 2022
Oppo is widely expected to unveil the Oppo Pad 2 alongside the Oppo Find N2 and Oppo Find N2 Flip foldable smartphones at its INNO Day 2022 event scheduled for December 2022. While the company has not made an official announcement about the tablet, the timing aligns with leaks and speculation from multiple sources.
How the Oppo Pad 2 Compares to the Original Oppo Pad
To understand what the sequel may offer, it helps to look at what the first-generation Oppo Pad brought to the table. Launched in February 2022, the original Oppo Pad was the company's first-ever tablet. Here is a side-by-side look at the confirmed specs of the Oppo Pad versus the rumoured specs of the Oppo Pad 2:
| Specification | Oppo Pad (2022) | Oppo Pad 2 (Rumoured) |
|---|---|---|
| Display | 11-inch IPS LCD, 2560 x 1600 px, 120Hz | 11-inch LCD, 2560 x 1600 px |
| Processor | Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 | MediaTek Dimensity 9000 |
| RAM | 8GB | More than 8GB (unconfirmed) |
| Storage | 256GB | Higher capacity (unconfirmed) |
| Battery | 8,360mAh | Larger than 8,360mAh (unconfirmed) |
| Charging | 33W fast charging | Not yet confirmed |
Display
Both generations share the same 11-inch screen size and 2560 x 1600-pixel resolution. The Oppo Pad included a 120Hz refresh rate, and the Oppo Pad 2 is likely to match or exceed this figure, though no official confirmation has been issued.
Performance
The switch from Snapdragon 870 to MediaTek Dimensity 9000 is the most notable hardware upgrade in the leaks. The Dimensity 9000 is built on a 4nm process and offers substantially better CPU and GPU performance compared to the Snapdragon 870, making it a compelling option for productivity and multimedia tasks on a tablet.
Battery and Memory
The original Oppo Pad packed an 8,360mAh battery with 33W fast charging — a strong package for a tablet at its price point. The Oppo Pad 2 is rumoured to come with a larger battery and more RAM and storage, though Oppo has not released any figures yet.
