Oppo Pad 3 Specs Leak Revealing a Thin and Light Downgrade from the Pad 3 Pro

Introduction

Oppo has always taken this dynamically over time, and each iteration is better as they try to redefine what should a tablet do for users of the modern world. Oppo Pad 3 specs leak hints at major design changes from the original, and this will be especially pronounced in the Pad 3 Pro, which has similar thin light principles compared to its successor. Another cool feature of the new approach is ease of portability, but there are some critical downsides that one may consider before switching. This news arrives as Samsung remains firmly established in the Android tablet market and following devices such as the Samsung Galaxy S25, which raises expectations. The resized specs on the Oppo Pad 3 should appeal to a slightly different customer demographic.

Design and Build

Oppo Pad 3 One of the stunning features of Oppo Pad 3 that is highly discussed around it, are thinner and lighter build. The new device is said to be thinner than previous generations, allowing the device to become more portable and easier to use for long periods of time. This aesthetic definitely brings focus but does so very much at the expense of a larger battery when compared to the Pad 3 Pro. Lightweight portability is the apparent goal here, though that may come at the cost of endurance. This gives the user experience a very different feel to other devices such as the Samsung Galaxy S25, which seems to have an overly effortful tug-of-war between hardware and design.

Weight	460g	520g
Display	10.4" LCD	11" OLED

Display Quality

Coloring the display is a 10.4-inch LCD, which is a downgrade from the OLED screen in the Pad 3 Pro. That would seem to be a cost- and weight-cutting measure, but it probably wouldn't bode well for color fidelity or contrast quality. While this might not be such a big deal to those who mainly use their tablets for content consumption, it could be somewhat contentious given that the Samsung Galaxy S25 comes with an AMOLED panel. Silver lining is the thinner profile and less heft may attract everyday users, on-the-go pros.

Performance Capabilities

Another detail that the Oppo Pad 3 specs leak makes mention of relates to its performance. The Pad 3 is rumored to feature a mid-range chip rather than the higher-end SoC expected in the more premium Pad 3 Pro. The heart of this change is a desire to appeal to the average user who wants some level of multitasking without breaking the bank. It may not be able to handle more intensive apps aesthetic or strenuous multitasking like flagship tablets you can prefer Samsung Galaxy S25, though.

Connectivity Options and Audio

Connectivity continues to play a vital role in 10-inch premium tablets, which, we hope will be seamless here as well for the Oppo Pad 3. Regular Wi-Fi functionality, Bluetooth 5.2 as well as minimal 4G link (May not assistance for 5G). This is potentially a downgrade for anyone familiar with the Samsung Galaxy S25 tablet range it is another step away from what you might expect to find on newer slabs, which are champions of next-gen connectivity.

The audio quality probably will still be dual-speaker on the Pad 3, but sans the quad-speaker array of the Pad 3 Pro. There is a similar story there as this decision plays nicely in with the devices goal of cutting price and weight, although for the audiophiles out there that could very much be hitting home.

Battery Life and Charging

Software and User Interface

Oppo tends to stick with its software optimization routine, and ColorOS for Pad promises a customized experience. This UI comes with instant multitasking, productivity and split-screen services. While the Samsung Galaxy S25's software will deal with integration within the larger Samsung ecosystem, Oppo's UI software will be aimed more towards general Android users.

A more compact, lightweight version of the Pad 3 Pro is the new Oppo Pad 3. The thin-and-light aspect should appeal to those seeking a helpful price and portability while compromising on the display quality, battery life, or performance. Rival tablets — particularly the likes of the Samsung Galaxy S25 — also offer more premium specs but charge a steeper price for it.
