Oppo is gearing up to expand its tablet lineup with the Pad Mini, a compact yet powerful device expected to debut in April. Promising an 8.8-inch OLED screen with ultra-slim bezels and a sleek metal unibody, the Pad Mini aims to blend portability with flagship-level performance thanks to Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chipset.
The Pad Mini’s design language follows Oppo’s modern minimalist style, featuring a pill-shaped rear camera bump and a choice of three colors: dark gray, purple, and cyan. Early images show the model in purple, underscoring the company’s move toward vibrant but refined aesthetics.
Under the hood, the Oppo Pad Mini is expected to come with up to 16GB of RAM and 512GB of internal storage, making it one of the more capable compact tablets available. It also supports 67W fast charging, indicating a sizeable battery designed to keep up with the device’s powerful internals-battery capacity details remain under wraps.
This release aligns with Oppo’s upcoming Find X9 Ultra and Find X9s Pro smartphones, both slated to launch in April in China. Industry sources also suggest that OnePlus may rebrand the Pad Mini as the OnePlus Pad Mini, following the pattern of shared tablet designs between the sister brands.
