Intro

Looking for a light weight Android tablet for work and entertainment ? The Oppo Pad Air might be a good fit for this purpose.

Weighing at only 440g and 6.94mm thin, this lightweight portable 10.36″ tablet will fit most of your needs with it’s 7100 mAh battery that can last you for more than 15 hours of video call time or 12 hours of movies. It supports 18 W USB-PD charge.

Powered by the Snapdragon 680 processor and 4GB + 3 GB extended ram, most applications can run but for those who are used to the snappiness of the smartphone’s 8 Gen 1 or mid range smartphones processors, the 680 is pretty in the range of mediatek dimensity 700 or 845 processor of yesteryear.

In daily use, the 10.36″ 2K screen is sharp but it may not be suitable to be used under bright sunlight due to the relfective nature of the screen.

Turn on Dolby Atmos and immerse yourself into clearer and deeper audio from it’s 4 x 1W speaker found on the four corners of the tablet. It really makes a lot of difference playing back Live concerts, football matches with Dolby Atmos. You can also select the environment profile. (see screen shot below).

One particular feature of the Oppo Pad Air is the Dual Windows, just swipe two fingers across the screen and you can have two supporting apps running side by side. e.g. Gmail on left and Youtube on the right.

You can also run two instances of the same app in split screen (for supported apps).

If you have a compatible ColorOS 12.1 OPPO Smartphone you can use the multi screen connect where you can share clipboard, drag and drop files from your smartphone to the tablet easily.
