OPPO Pad 5 launches in India with 12.1-inch 2.8K display

OPPO has officially launched the OPPO Pad 5 in India, alongside its new Reno15 smartphone series. The tablet is ideal for users who want a reliable device for everyday tasks such as online classes, office work, reading, and casual entertainment. Instead of pushing flashy specifications, OPPO has focused on the basics that matter most—a comfortable display, solid battery life, and smooth day-to-day performance.

The matte ReadFit display focuses on eye comfort

The biggest highlight of the OPPO Pad 5 is its 12.1-inch ReadFit display. Unlike most tablets that use glossy panels, this screen comes with a matte anti-glare finish. This reduces reflections significantly and makes the screen easier to view in bright environments or under indoor lighting.

For users who spend long hours reading PDFs, attending virtual classes, or working on documents, this design helps reduce eye strain and visual fatigue. The display offers a 2.8K resolution for sharp text and visuals, along with a 120Hz refresh rate that keeps scrolling smooth and responsive. While it is not positioned as a premium multimedia panel, it delivers consistent clarity and comfort for daily use.

MediaTek Dimensity 7300 Ultra handles everyday tasks smoothly

Powering the tablet is the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 Ultra chipset. In real-world usage, apps open quickly, multitasking feels stable, and video streaming runs without noticeable lag. The tablet is clearly optimized for productivity and general consumption rather than heavy gaming.

Casual games run well, but users looking for high-end gaming performance may need a more powerful device. For students and working professionals, however, the performance is more than sufficient for browsing, video calls, note-taking, and entertainment.

Useful AI note tools and pencil support

OPPO has added AI-based note features that help summarize content and organize notes more efficiently. These tools are designed to improve productivity instead of acting as novelty features.

The OPPO Pad 5 also supports the OPPO Pencil 2R, which offers low-latency input for writing and drawing. Handwritten notes feel natural and responsive, making it useful for students, teachers, and creative users who prefer pen input over typing.

Large battery with fast charging support

The tablet packs a 10,050mAh battery, which comfortably delivers a full day of usage under normal workloads and can extend even longer depending on usage patterns. Charging is supported by 33W SuperVOOC fast charging, allowing users to top up the battery reasonably quickly for a tablet of this size.

OPPO states that this battery setup is designed to support long study sessions, streaming, and work without frequent charging interruptions.

Connectivity options, colors, and design

The OPPO Pad 5 is available in both Wi-Fi and 5G variants, giving buyers the option to stay connected even while traveling. The tablet comes in two color options:

• Starlight Black
• Aurora Pink

The overall design remains clean and minimal, keeping the focus on usability rather than flashy aesthetics.
