Introduction
With the good sales records of gaming tablets such as the Lenovo Legion Y700 and RedMagic Nova, Oppo is about to join this competitive class. Recently, the first details about the first gaming tablet of the company have been revealed via a leak, showing us the Oppo X8 Pad.
The Leak: Digital Chat Station Reveals Key Details
The information about the Oppo X8 Pad originates from a trusted Chinese leaker, Digital Chat Station. Initially, details about an unnamed compact tablet powered by MediaTek’s Dimensity 9400 chipset surfaced through a Weibo post. Although the original post did not disclose the device’s name, a subsequent comment from the leaker clarified that it belongs to Oppo’s X8 series and will be launched as the Oppo X8 Pad.
Expected Launch Timeline
Although Oppo has not officially declared the X8 Pad, it’s unlikely to arrive before the Find X8 Ultra this spring of 2025. That means the gaming tablet might appear in the latter part of the year and will coincide with the company’s product strategy.
Oppo X8 Pad: Rumored Features
Display and Design
The Oppo X8 Pad is said to sport an 8.8-inch high-resolution LCD display with a high refresh rate. Unlike some other tablets, it will not feature a punch-hole design for the front camera. Instead, the camera will sit in the bezel, which provides a clean and immersive screen layout. This tablet is also expected to have a slim metallic build, adding to its premium feel.
Performance and Software
Under the hood, the Oppo X8 Pad will be powered by MediaTek’s flagship Dimensity 9400 chipset, ensuring smoother performance and high-end gaming. Although details on RAM and storage are still in secret, there could be several options so that users can have multiple variants for different user needs. It’ll run ColorOS 15, which in turn is based on Android 15 for seamless and feature-rich usage.
Battery and Charging
The Oppo X8 Pad might support fast charging, but exact details about the battery capacity are not provided yet. This feature will probably become highly desirable for gamers when they need quick recharging during extended play sessions.
Launch and Market Availability
The Oppo X8 Pad will probably launch in China, but there’s no word on a global release yet. It’s possible that it could arrive internationally either under the Oppo brand or as a rebadged product under OnePlus, given the company’s history of cross-branding.
Conclusion
The Oppo X8 Pad is its all-out attack on the gaming tablet domain, which has thus far been dominated by Lenovo and more recently RedMagic. A powerhouse chipset, good aesthetics, and an updated display make the X8 Pad a potential gaming as well as tech enthusiast’s dream come true. Although much of the details are still under wraps, it cannot be denied that this device will testify to how Oppo can make or break into the gaming hardware space.
