Just a few days ago, Xiaomi relaunched the Mi Pad range by introducing the Mi Pad 5 series in China. Close rival Realme has also weighed in on the upcoming Realme Pad. Likewise, we have had rumors that even Vivo and OnePlus are preparing to launch their large screen tablet in the near future. Now, not to be outdone, even Oppo is working on a new tablet and competing with Samsung and Apple who dominate this segment. According to a trusted Chinese leaker, Digital Chat Station, Oppo is looking to create a tablet that can be priced mid to high. According to him, the upcoming tablet should resemble Huawei's MatePad Pro 12.6 and have thin bezels all around, resulting in a high screen-to-body ratio. And while the specs and details are awaited, the tablet could house the front-facing camera under the hole-punch cutout. Although he mentioned that the tablet should run on Oppos Android fork Color OS, it will be customized for a tablet. The Leaker mentioned that the tablet could have a docking bar and desktop widgets to help users who prefer to work on the go. More importantly, since the tablet is expected to be a cog in Oppo's ecosystem, it will offer seamless connectivity with other Oppo products such as smartphones, smartwatches, headphones, etc.

However, coming from a tipster who was quite specific, we may soon hear an official announcement from Oppo. That being said, since Realme, Oppo, Vivo, and OnePlus are closely related, it makes sense that these brands are using search to the fullest. Also, the demand for big screen mobile devices has multiplied several times during the lockdowns caused by the pandemic. Although travel restrictions will be eased as these tablets hit the market, there will still be an opportunity for these companies to try for Apple and Samsung's dominance of the tablet market.
