Oppo has announced the Oppo Pad SE is coming to India on July 3 alongside the Oppo Reno 14 series. The budget-friendly tablet recently broke cover in China and specs shared by Oppo today seem to suggest that the India-bound model is largely similar. Oppo, unlike OnePlus, isn't in the habit of launching tablets as frequently. Its last attempt – Oppo Pad Air – dates to July 2022. So, you can say the Pad SE has been a long time coming. Interestingly, the Pad Air – which was its first tablet in India – also made its debut with a Reno series. More specifically, it was the Reno 8. The Pad SE will join the Reno 14 series, which is set to spawn two models, a standard Reno 14 and more powerful Reno 14 Pro.advertisementIn a statement shared with the media ahead of D-Day, Oppo says the Pad SE is an 'ultra-durable, budget-friendly tablet' which is built 'to bring the best in everyday entertainment, family fun, on-the-go learning, and creativity.' It has an 11-inch LCD display billed as 'eye-care' meaning that it is designed to offer less eye fatigue on extended use. To that effect, the Pad SE is bags the 'TV Rheinland certifications for Low Blue Light and Flicker-Free performance,' Oppo claims. The display can apparently clock 500 nits of brightness and has a 16:10 aspect ratio which is more suited for browsing and productivity tasks. While Oppo hasn't confirmed the refresh rate, in China, the Oppo Pad SE, boasts of a 90Hz panel.Moving on, the Pad SE has a 9,340mAh battery which is rated to deliver up to 11 hours of continuous video playback on a single charge, per Oppo. It measures 7.39mm and will be available in a choice of silver and blue with memory configurations to be announced at launch.advertisement
Oppo is also launching the Reno 14 series in India on July 3. There are two models, Reno 14 and Reno 14 Pro, with a big focus on photography with Oppo going so far as to claim that this is the first time anyone is launching a phone with 'lossless 3.5x optical zoom combined with AI telephoto zoom and 120x digital zoom' in its segment. Both phones have a triple camera setup with the same 50-megapixel Samsung JN5 sensor with a 3.5x (80mm equivalent) telephoto lens. The Reno 14 Pro is separately confirmed to come with a MediaTek Dimensity 8450 processor and a 6,200mAh battery with 80W wired and 50W wireless charging.Given that all of these are affordable mid-range mainstream products, there should be considerable interest in how Oppo prices them. On a related note, July is shaping to be an action-packed month for launches with big-ticket brands from Samsung to Nothing, OnePlus and Vivo, all lining up to make major announcements.
