Oppo's Premium Compact Tablet Arrives in India at Rs 94,999
Oppo has launched the Pad Mini in India at Rs 94,999 with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chip, LPDDR5X RAM, UFS 4.1 storage, and a 120Hz OLED display with 240Hz touch sampling. The tablet is positioned against Apple's iPad Mini 2026, which is expected on October 28 with an OLED 120Hz screen and an A20 Pro chip. The article compares the two compact tablets.
Oppo's new compact tablet is priced at Rs 94,999 in India and pairs a Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chip with LPDDR5X memory and UFS 4.1 storage, offered up to 512GB. Its 120Hz OLED screen supports 240Hz touch sampling, and the device includes a 13MP rear camera plus an 8MP front shooter in a punch-hole cutout.
The comparison target is Apple's iPad Mini 2026, expected at the company's October 28 Pro and Tell event. Reports cited in the source point to a 120Hz OLED display, an A20 Pro or A19 Pro chip, a 13MP rear camera, a 12MP Center Stage selfie camera, and a design with thicker bezels than Oppo's model.
The arrival of another high-priced compact tablet could give Indian buyers more choice at the premium end, especially people who want a smaller screen for reading, note-taking, travel, or media. It may also pressure rivals to justify pricing through displays, chips, and accessories. Because Rs 94,999 is far above mainstream tablet budgets, the immediate effect is likely limited to affluent professionals, students with high-end needs, and enthusiasts; broader adoption may depend on financing, trade-in offers, and app ecosystems.
