This tablet has now landed in the Indian market, and it's launching soon here in Nepal as well. In this article, we will go through the specs, features, availability, and expected price of the Oppo Pad Air in Nepal. 

Oppo Pad Air Overview:

Design and Display

The Oppo Pad Air has a flat-edge design with squared-off edges. The back keeps the two-tone appearance of the original Pad, but now has a textured pattern with a shine to it. Oppo says, the pattern is crafted through a five layer process design and the matte surface at the back keeps the fingerprints and smudges at bay.  The tablet is slim at 6.94mm and weighs just 440 grams. It is available in Fog Gray and Star Silver color options.
