The Oppo Find X8 Ultra is expected to launch in April, and a new Oppo Pad 4 Pro will also be unveiled at the same event. According to Digital Chat Station, the Pad 4 Pro will be the first tablet powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset. Additionally, the leak suggests that Oppo Find X8 Next, a compact-sized smartphone, will debut alongside these devices. The exact date for the event is yet to be confirmed.
Oppo Pad 4 Pro To Arrive as the Most Powerful Tablet in the Market
The Oppo Pad 4 Pro is set to launch just six months after its predecessor, the Pad 3 Pro, which debuted in October alongside the Find X8 series. That tablet was essentially a rebranded OnePlus Pad 2. Given this trend, it seems likely that Oplus could rename the upcoming OnePlus Pad 3 as the Oppo Pad 4, while the Pro version could feature a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset. However, these are still speculations, and key details remain unclear. More information is expected soon.
The fact that the Oppo Pad 4 Pro will be the world’s first Android tablet powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset is quite interesting. After all, with the use of such a chipset, the tablet will stand as the most powerful to date. It also opens a nice precedent. After all, companies have been using intermediary or last year’s flagship CPUs in their tablet. If the Oppo Pad 4 Pro does well, we may start to see more flagship tablets in the market.
Oppo Find X8 Next and More
Going back to the Oppo Find X8 Next, the previously called Find X8 Mini is a “small-screen flagship”. It aims to offer a more compact alternative to the larger smartphones dominating the market.
The Find X8 Ultra was first set to launch in March, but now it is confirmed for April. Oppo says this could be the only Chinese Ultra phone with a flat screen this year. However, other brands are making Ultra models too.
There is little info about the Pad 4 Pro except that it will use the Snapdragon 8 Elite chip. Some think OnePlus might sell the same tablet under another name outside China. This isn’t a surprise, as OnePlus smartphones tend to sell better and have an expressive presence in global markets. All new Oppo devices will first launch in China and later in other places. The Oppo Pad 4 Pro could be a great choice for those who want a strong Android tablet but do not want a Samsung Galaxy Tab.
