If you spend hours binge-watching shows on your phone and crave a bigger, better screen, the Oppo Pad SE might just be your upgrade. Priced from ₹13,999, it offers an 11-inch display, quad speakers, and a battery that can last for days — all in a sleek metal body. But can it handle more than just media playback? We tested it for a week to find out.
Design & Build Quality
The Oppo Pad SE has a clean, minimal look with an aluminium chassis and matte finish that resists smudges. Its 16:10 aspect ratio favors landscape mode — perfect for streaming. At just under 500g, it feels comfortable to hold for long periods.
Display & Audio – Made for Watching
-
11-inch IPS LCD, 1920×1200 resolution, 90Hz refresh rate
-
Peak brightness: 500 nits (good indoors, average outdoors)
-
Quad-speaker setup with balanced sound and decent bass
While it’s not AMOLED, the colors are vibrant and details sharp. Thick but uniform bezels help prevent accidental touches. Audio output is immersive enough for personal viewing, though not room-filling.
Performance & Software
Powered by the MediaTek Helio G100 and paired with up to 8GB RAM, the Oppo Pad SE handles browsing, streaming, and multitasking with ease.
Benchmark Scores:
| Test | Score |
|---|---|
| Geekbench 6 (Single) | 705 |
| Geekbench 6 (Multi) | 1,877 |
| AnTuTu | 422,814 |
It runs ColorOS 15 (Android 15), well-optimized for tablets. The taskbar and split-screen mode make switching between apps effortless. Minimal bloatware is a welcome surprise.
Gaming & Productivity
Casual games like Subway Surfers run flawlessly, but FPS titles like Call of Duty Mobile stutter at high settings. For productivity, built-in AI tools can summarise documents, translate text, and even enhance photos.
Cameras
-
Rear: 5MP – decent in daylight, struggles in low light
-
Front: 5MP – good for video calls, soft for selfies
Not a photography powerhouse, but adequate for basic needs.
Battery Life
The 9,340mAh battery delivers 2 days of mixed use or around 10–12 hours of video streaming. Supports 33W wired charging (charger sold separately).
