Oppo Pad 3 Pro makes global debut alongside Find X8 series

Following its announcement in China last month, the Oppo Pad 3 Pro is now making its global rollout alongside the Find X8 series.

Oppo Pad 3 Pro Specifications

The newly announced Oppo Pad 3 Pro runs on Android 14 with ColorOS 14.1 and sports a 12.1-inch 3K (2,120×3,000 pixels) display with 144Hz adaptive refresh rate, 303ppi pixel density, 900 nits peak brightness, and up to 540Hz touch sampling rate. The display is certified by TUV Rheinland for Intelligent Eye Care and Circadian Friendly and has Dolby Vision support.

Oppo Pad 3 Pro runs on Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Leading Version chipset with Adreno 750 GPU, along with 12GB LPDDR5X RAM and 256GB UFS 4.0 storage. This Qualcomm chipset has up to 3.4GHz clock speed.

For optics, the Oppo Pad 3 Pro has a 13-megapixel rear camera and an 8-megapixel selfie shooter. It has eight speakers with Hi-Res audio and Hi-Res wireless audio certification.

Connectivity options available on the Oppo Pad 3 Pro include Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, and USB Type-C port. Sensors onboard are an accelerometer, colour temperature sensor, geomagnetic sensor, light sensor, gravity sensor, gyroscope, and hall sensor. It supports facial recognition.

If these specs sound familiar, there’s good reason – Pad 3 Pro is a rebadged OnePlus Pad 2 with ColorOS14.1 instead of OxygenOS14.1 on the software side.

Oppo Pad 3 Pro Price

Currently, the Pad 3 Pro comes in a single Starlit Blue color option. The global launch price is set at €600 (around $632 USD) or £499 for the sole 12GB RAM and 256GB storage configuration.  

Oppo is offering a pre-order incentive for those who purchase the Pad 3 Pro before December 31st. These early adopters will receive the Oppo Pencil 2 Pro stylus and the Oppo Smart Keyboard free of charge, adding value to the overall package.

Oppo introduces Gemini and Circle to Search for ColorOS 15

Oppo is stepping into the future with its latest software update, ColorOS 15, showcasing an impressive leap in AI integration. After its initial launch in China,today, we learned that international users will get the Google-powered equivalents.

In a press release, the company officially announced that ColorOS 15 will bring the Gemini app and the Circle to Search with Google feature. The LLM will also work within the Notes and Documents app and offer an AI Recording Summary.

The Gemini app is essentially a revamped Google Assistant.By combining the intuitive capabilities of Google Gemini 1.5 Pro and 1.5 Flash, Gemini app now offers real-time answers and even has a chatbot for quick answers.

Speaking about the integration of Google’s Gemini technology, Oppo emphasized its potential to “boost productivity and creativity” across their devices. By embedding these tools into the very fabric of ColorOS 15, the brand aims to elevate how users interact with their devices, making complex tasks feel simple and intuitive.

Another standout feature is Circle to Search, which takes inspiration from innovations like the  Galaxy S24. This function allows users to circle any content on their screen to instantly search for information, translate text, perform currency conversions, or even copy/paste with ease.

The company talked about ColorOS 15 in general and did not reveal whether any Oppo smartphones might not get the features, and we highly doubt that would be the case. If the company deemed its devices to be powerful enough for AI, they will be capable of dealing with Google’s artificial services.

The global rollout of ColorOS 15 is set to begin on Thursday, November 21, alongside the much-anticipated international launch of the Oppo Find X8 series. As Oppo’s flagship devices, the Find X8 models are expected to showcase these innovations to their fullest potential.
