The OPPO Pad was released together with the OPPO Find X5 series on February 24. As the first tablet computer of the European and Canadian series of Greenplant, it was launched at a price of 2199 yuan. The draft has been delayed for a long time. Now I will report to you.
At this historical stage, OPPO Pad is a typical member of the domestic Android tablet. This article will take its experience as an introduction, and by the way, briefly analyze the domestic tablets that you can choose at this stage.
Read the specifications again, OPPO Pad is Snapdragon 870, straight metal middle frame+plastic back cover, 6.99mm thick, 507g heavy. 10.95 inch 120Hz, 2560x1600 LCD screen, 480nit peak brightness, 1500:1 contrast. Front 800W, rear 1300W, 8360mAh battery+33W fast charge, the first AAC second generation four speakers.
OPPO Pad's first release of 6+128 version is 2199 yuan, 6+256 version is 2599 yuan, 8+256 version is 2899 yuan, and artist limited version with stylus is 3499 yuan. OPPO Pencil starts at 459 yuan, and magnetic keyboard cover starts at 359 yuan.
appearance
The accessory is a pure white 33W fast charging head, model VCB3HACH.
Compared with competing products, the appearance and workmanship of OPPO Pad are both good:
Frosted metal middle frame. The screen edge does not have a washer like the Xiaomi Tablet 5 series. The buttons have CNC chamfers. With the frosted star diamond pattern on the back cover and a narrower frame, the texture is a higher level. If you don't take a closer look at the front and side of the iPad, people believe it.
The middle frame is almost flush with the screen and backplane, and the virtual position of keys is very small. Although the straight side middle frame is destined to be handy, this workmanship adds a lot of color.
Taking the vertical viewing angle as an example, the OPPO Pad power key is on the upper right corner, the volume key is on the right side, the stylus magnet and charging area are also on the right side, and there are four speakers with two upper speakers and two lower speakers without keyboard contacts, so the left border is very clean.
The most special layout is that the camera is in the middle of the right border, obviously for horizontal screen use. The largest slot point is that the USB-C port is not centered.
Objective test: stability
The OPPO Pad is a 10.95 inch 120Hz, 2560x1600 LCD screen with a peak brightness of 480nit and a contrast of 1500:1.
There is no excitation brightness, and the proportion of white area will not affect the brightness gain (nonsense, this is LCD). The maximum brightness is 444nit manually in the center. At this time, the four corner brightness is 469, 467, 465, 439 nits, and the LCD is normal with average uniformity. At 100nit, the contrast ratio is 1487:1, showing normal performance.
The official announced that there are 300 levels of brightness adjustment under 20 nits. In addition, the screen is large, so it is very comfortable to adjust the brightness during the test. But for ordinary daily use, the perception is not very strong.
The screen should be horizontally mounted. The bottom edge is slightly darker when it is horizontally mounted. The sliding shadow held vertically is much better than the iPad mini 6. Of course, to be reasonable, this is no different from the iPhone signal. It is difficult to roll over like Apple.
The system provides two modes: vivid and natural, without its own flagship professional mode:
The vivid mode heats up 7725K, the gamma value is 2.32 (slightly higher contrast), the average gray scale is 1.6, covering 94.8% of the P3 gamut, the average color deviation is 2.3, and the performance is good; Under the sRGB color gamut, the coverage is slightly biased, resulting in the sRGB covering only 99.3%, with an average color deviation of 4, which is slightly biased in the normal range of the panel.
The natural mode color temperature is 6888K (the closer to 6500K, the better), the gamma is 2.26 (very standard), and the gray scale deviates from 2.5, covering only 93.8% of the sRGB color gamut. The average color deviation is 2.5, and the performance is OK.
In terms of performance, OPPO Pad is Snapdragon 870+LPDDR4x+UFS 3.1. For the Snapdragon 870, LPDDR5 and LPDD4x don't make much difference, so it's unnecessary to care.
In the actual test, the OPPO Pad's single core is normal, the multi-core is relatively conservative, and the GPU performs well. The read/write performance is limited by the 128GB capacity, and random read/write is slightly weaker than other 256GB models.
However, for the huge size of the tablet, the heat dissipation can be suppressed even after being pinched. There is no doubt about the performance release of the OPPO Pad. 22 ℃ room temperature, 3DMark Wild Life Extreme pressure test, 100 nites stability 99.3%, 200 nites stability 98.9%.
The 20 minute "Peace Elite" (HDR HD+limited frames+anti aliasing) has a maximum temperature of 32.3 degrees on the front and 33.4 degrees on the back. There is no pressure.
The 8360mAh battery of OPPO Pad, after 30 minutes of "Peace Elite" (HDR high-definition+limit frames+anti aliasing), 30 minutes of 1080P video playback on station B, 30 minutes of short video on microblog, and one hour of Wi Fi surfing, has a total of 2.5 hours of endurance test, and the remaining power is 75%. The Xiaomi Tablet 5 Pro with larger battery capacity is far away from the iPad mini 6 with small battery and small screen.
33W fast charging, stable power output, but the 8360mAh battery really needs to be charged for a long time. Peak 26.4W, 10 minutes; 22W 10 minutes; 20W 70 min. In addition, the third-party PD is about 15W.
The 33W fast charging of OPPO Pad took 1 hour and 53 minutes. In the early stage, the battery was charged at the rate of 1% in 1 minute, 16% in 15 minutes, 30% in 30 minutes, 62% in 1 hour, 87% in 1.5 hours, and full charge was displayed in 53 minutes in 1 hour, and the battery was disconnected after 1 minute.
Pen and keyboard
Accessories include OPPO Pencil of 459 yuan for the first launch and magnetic keyboard cover of 359 yuan for the first launch. The price is the same as that of Xiaomi, which is the lowest price in a large factory.
Handwriting pens are more recommended in accessories (especially for users who need to write mathematical formulas, draw pictures, or are accustomed to writing shorthand). Keyboard is unnecessary. Don't create demands for yourself blindly. Rational consumption is the biggest support for environmental protection.
The stylus OPPO Pencil is the first product under the commercial USI agreement. USI is the abbreviation of the Universal Stylus Initiative. Led by Google, it was first designed to be used on Google's "404" Chromebook products abroad. Unexpectedly, OPPO will launch the first commercial launch on Android tablets.
The OPPO Pencil specification is 17.5ms delay, 4096 level pressure sensing, lighter 3g trigger force than many similar products, magnetic charging, rotating and screwing out the changeable pen tip, 11 hour writing endurance, and support the touch screen trigger note.
The appearance of OPPO Pencil is very familiar and the texture is good. There are flat grooves on one side, but the area is not large. It still rolls on the table. The pen has a counterweight, measuring 16.71g, and the feel is closer to the pen. The magnetic attraction is OK, but the pen is heavy, and it will be thrown out if you shake it hard. In addition, there is a "false suction" beside the magnetic suction area, which can be absorbed but is unstable. The magnetic charging area corresponding to the middle frame is made of plastic, which is easy to be scratched by strokes.
As you are used to double clicking the bright screen and the locked screen on the desktop, the stylus can double click the rest screen, but you cannot double click to wake up the screen. You should get used to it. The core writing experience is good, The tip damping is greater than that of the first generation apple pen, which is still far from the second generation apple pen. The trigger force is really lighter than Xiaomi's stylus. There is a double click function on the side, and the sensitivity is OK. After several times of OTA, the delay has been greatly improved. It is already very comfortable to write. Now there is no problem with the hardware experience. The function of automatic handwriting recognition conversion in any input box is only available for iPad and Hongmeng for the time being. I hope it can be followed up later.
The magnetic keyboard is actually a work of Rapoo. It has a 1.4mm key range and uses Bluetooth. It has a 30 day life and a combination of shortcut keys. Compared with the contact keyboard of peers, the advantage is that the panel body does not need to be a contact, and the disadvantage is the weight of the keyboard. The Bluetooth keyboard should have batteries and switches, and the measured weight is 365.7g. OPPO Pad is equipped with pen and keyboard, 507g+16.7g+365.7g=889.4g.
The magnetic attraction on the back plate of the keyboard cover is weak, and the magnetic attraction groove above the key area is used as the connection trigger to switch the system to the external keyboard mode. Like some touch keyboards, they can only be used when they are propped up. They can't be used when they are lying flat, and they don't have the advantage of Bluetooth keyboards being available in vitro. The switching time is about 5 or 6 seconds, which is slow. The touch of keys is OK, and the virtual position is small.
The keyboard hardware itself is relatively common, and the input method is very easy to use. The direction keys can move and select different contents directly on the desktop and in some APPs. The support of third-party apps is not perfect, even the support of system settings is not perfect. There are shortcut key combinations for returning and returning to the desktop. For the keyboard in HD version of Station B and Youku and a few other video apps, the direction key can fast forward and backward. The win key triggers the voice assistant by default and cannot be changed. The keyboard in the lock screen interface cannot enter a password. The function adaptation of the keyboard itself has a long way to go.
Personally, I still believe that the keyboard needs a touch pad to be motivated to buy, because the experience of holding up your hand while typing is not efficient. It is not recommended to buy unless there is a great demand for input. However, if there is a heavy input demand, the efficiency of the tablet and notebook can help you save more time.
system
The system is ColorOS For Pad, which has many functions derived from the Find N folding screen phone, such as double finger sliding split screen and various large screen optimization, and the function of four finger contraction triggering the floating window. The system claims to have 3000+mainstream apps for large screen adaptation.
The system has its own cross screen interconnection. The green factory mobile phone can be directly connected to the projection screen on the tablet with a low delay. However, at this stage, there is no file and picture dragging function. I hope OTA can catch up later.
ColorOS For Pad has fewer functions and is lighter than the mobile version of ColorOS. With the Snapdragon 870, the system operation is smooth and comfortable. Map APP, Station B, iQiyi and Tencent Video did not lock 60 frames, but Youku and Tiaoyin did.
The design of the dock bar similar to that of the iPad is not done as MIUI For Pad does, maintaining the consistency of the mobile phone and tablet systems. There is a full screen gesture, so there is no need to do the design of multi finger close together and return to the desktop similar to the iPad. Even because the left and right borders of Android can trigger the return, you can feel the superiority of Android when operating occasionally.
experience
As an iQIYI player, the most brilliant OPPO Pad hardware must be the first AAC second-generation speaker. Symmetrical four speakers, even without belief symbols such as Harman Carton and JBL, are powerful enough, with large volume, sweet high pitch, accurate middle pitch, and shocking low pitch. Strong analytical power, mid high frequency tuning, natural and comfortable tuning.
In recent years, the password book and other functions of the system account can only be enabled by opening the lock screen password, so even the tablet, face, fingerprint and other biological unlocking functions are very necessary. OPPO Pad does not have fingerprint recognition, but the face unlocking experience is good. Although the camera is on the right side of the frame when holding the machine longitudinally, the long side is very long, and it is impossible for fingers to block the camera in the holding position.
Compared with fingerprint, the most troublesome operation is not to raise your hand to light the screen. You have to double click to light the screen (I hope OTA can add raise your hand to light the screen). In addition, because everyone is learning from the iPad, the power key is in the upper right corner when it is vertically placed, and the power key is on the left side when it is horizontally placed. The left hand has to unlock it, and the keyboard cover is a little longer than the body, so it is difficult to press the key. Personally, I prefer the power button and volume button together. Even if they are easily touched by mistake, they are more comfortable than now.
There is no vibration motor, which has little impact on the core iQIYI and Bilibili users, but has a greater impact on the game users. There is no TF card slot (mirco SD card). For the initial 128GB OPPO Pad, the problem is not serious. Users with this requirement should pay attention.
As for whether 6GB of memory is enough, it must not be enough. Now the apps are fatter than each other. Station B, iQIYI, Tencent Video, Tiao Yin, and Weibo are in five rounds. As soon as the fifth app is opened, the backstage will be killed. If ColorOS is still like this, you can imagine other systems. If you want to be a browser for Taobao and Little Red Book, or even for productivity or learning, you'd better start with 8GB.
The cost of 33W charging lies there. When OPPO claims to do 65W fast charging, it will cost 300 yuan including the charging head, but I still hope OPPO can do a more powerful Pro version.
Summary and comparison
The summary key word of OPPO Pad is "stability in all aspects". The appearance, workmanship, screen, system, performance, battery life and stylus are all very normal. The battery life even exceeds the expectation. 20% of the power is enough for you to use all noon. The most brilliant speaker shows surprise.
In order to control the pricing, the product also makes some trade-offs. There is no fingerprint identification, TF card slot, vibration motor, 33W fast charging, no contact keyboard cover, no touch panel for the keyboard, and no 4G/5G version (in fact, the 4G/5G version of the tablet still accounts for 8% of the market). At present, the optimization of stylus and keyboard in the system is not enough, and the functions of multi screen interconnection are not rich enough. However, as the first tablet in the green plant, the overall completion is still fast.
In the past, only iPad was available in the market, but after a new wave of domestic tablets came out, There is no need to find the entry-level iPad for 2000 yuan files (The screen and external display are too tight, which affects the performance of iQIYI.).
The OPPO Pad, Xiaomi Tablet 5, Glory Tablet V7 Pro, Huawei MatePad 11, a large wave of domestic tablets, have 11 inch 2.5K screens (the two sets marked with 10.95 inch are actually only the difference of measurement standards). The very close screen fundamentally limits their shape. Some models have the same problem with buttons, openings, and even the C port is not centered. I understand the reason.
OPPO Pad (from 2199), Xiaomi Tablet 5 Series (from 1999), Huawei MatePad 11 (from Hongmeng, there are more than 2499), and Glory Tablet V7 Pro (from 2199) are difficult to compete with each other. At present, the Lenovo rescuer Y700 is the most expensive, with a starting price of 2199 yuan for 8+128. However, it is an 8.8 inch game specific product, and iQIYI is only a deputy. The price of Xiaoxin Pad Pro has dropped to 1999 yuan, but it does not have a high configuration version with large memory.
The high degree of convergence in hardware makes the tablet more in need of system differentiation than the mobile phone. In the future, Android 13 will be equipped with Android 12L tablet optimization features. I don't know how quickly OPPO Pad will follow up. However, ColorOS system is my greatest confidence in this tablet. I vote for "Zhuhai Engineer". At this stage, you can decide according to your mobile phone brand. After all, the follow-up linkage is more secure.
Oh, yes, remember: those who recommend you to use iPad Pro will not help you make up the difference of 3000 yuan.
