The tablet provides support for 1080p video recording at 30fps via the front and rear cameras. The smartphone packs a 7,100mAh battery with 18W charging.
Under the hood, OPPO Pad Air draws power from a Snapdragon 680 processor, paired with up to 6GB of RAM and up to 128GB of storage. At the heart, it boots Android 12 out of the box with ColorOS 12. Connectivity options on the tablet include Wi-Fi 5, Bluetooth 5.1, and a Type-C port. It also gets quad speakers with Dolby Atmos support.
