Oppo’s next Android tablet is on the way – although it is not likely to be a successor to the Pad 4 Pro, as hinted in a new leak.
It asserts that the upcoming Pad will be marketed as having a 10,300mAh battery (based on its predicted rated capacity of 10,165mAh), as opposed to ~12,140mAh in the 13.2-inch 4 Pro.
That would make for a nice (if minimal) upgrade over the 9,340mAh, 11-inch Pad SE – presuming the next-gen slate is not in fact the rumored, potentially super-powered “compact tablet” that Oppo might also sell via its popular subsidiary OnePlus.
Either way, the tablet is now also backed to run ColorOS 16 out of the box, a cutting-edge Android 16-based UI backed to confer Apple-grade cross-platform ‘magic’ on the new tablet. That might even include the advanced ability to pair and share things with iPhones.
This supposed next-gen Oppo Pad is now projected to launch alongside the brand’s next flagship smartphone and smartwatch in early 2026.

I became a professional writer and editor shortly after graduation. My degrees are in biomedical sciences; however, they led to some experience in the biotech area, which convinced me of its potential to revolutionize our health, environment and lives in general. This developed into an all-consuming interest in more aspects of tech over time: I can never write enough on the latest electronics, gadgets and innovations. My other interests include imaging, astronomy, and streaming all the things. Oh, and coffee.
