Oppo is gearing up to launch its latest tablet, the Pad 3, and the rumours suggest it will be an absolute beast when it comes to performance.

OPPO Pad 3: Flagship Performance

While the final choice hasn’t been confirmed yet, the latest whispers from Chinese social media claim the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 is “basically finalised” to power the Pad 3.

If true, this tablet is going to blow its predecessor out of the water in terms of speed and efficiency.

The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 is no slouch – it packs a powerful Cortex-X4 prime core running at a blisteringly fast 3.3GHz.

It also has five performance-focused Cortex-A720 cores and two energy-efficient Cortex-A520 cores clocked at 3.2GHz and 2.3GHz respectively.

Qualcomm boasts this chip is 30% faster and 20% more power-efficient compared to last year’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 2.

To put that into perspective, the Oppo Pad 2 ran on MediaTek’s Dimensity 9000 which was already a very capable chip.

But the rumoured Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 in the Pad 3 is shaping up to be significantly more powerful while also being easier on battery life.

OPPO Pad 2 Key Specs

Other than the top-notch processor, not much is known about the Pad 3’s specs yet.

But we can look at its predecessor for clues on what to expect.

The Pad 2 had a unique 11.61-inch display with an unusual 7:5 aspect ratio and a smooth 144Hz refresh rate perfect for gaming.

It also packed a massive 9510mAh battery with 67W fast charging.

If Oppo can build on those solid specs and pair them with the beastly Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip, the Pad 3 could end up being an incredibly powerful and versatile tablet.

Fingers crossed the final product lives up to the hype when it eventually launches later this year.
