Oppo Pad Air Review: Best in its segment

tech.hindustantimes.com:

You either love a tablet or you don't see its point. For many, tablets are simply unnecessary weights you lug around in your backpack, or have one thrown in your bedroom – why buy them when you have a smartphone in your pocket? For brands, these people are difficult to convince and hence, they have to innovate to bring more eyeballs! Apple does it for the well-heeled crowd with its iPad range while Oppo wants to do the same with its Pad Air, its first tablet in India.

It may seem an exaggeration but the Oppo Pad Air is more than simply an affordable Android tablet that looks good from the back. Hence, other than its large display, the Pad Air has a clean OS at the helm of a fairly good spec sheet, all of which could make many of the anti-tablet establishment have a look at it. Surely, you get these same features on a Galaxy Tab device but Oppo packs it all in a better package.

I have been using the Oppo Pad Air for a few weeks now and here is what I have to say.

The Oppo Pad Air resembles most Android tablets of late with dual-tone designs. This being Oppo though, the narrow plastic section that lets the Wi-Fi antennas do their thing, gets a fancy finish resembling a sand dune texture. The metallic section has a matte grey finish and thanks to Oppo's Glow finish, it keeps fingerprints and smudges off. Kudos to Oppo for keeping the profile as slim as 6.94 mm and the weight down to 440 grams. The front looks fairly modern with uniform and slim bezels. The sides have tactile keys for volume adjustment and power, while there is a quad speaker setup around.

The display makes or breaks the tablet experience! On a budget Android tablet, you cannot expect to have those high quality IPS LCD displays promising colour accuracy and
