Looking for a cheap Android tablet that isn't made by Samsung? OPPO's latest might be the answer.

Announced for the Australian market this week, the new OPPO Pad Neo looks like most low-end tablets do, but comes armed with a set of specs that go well beyond the basics.

On the front, the tablet features an 11.4-inch LCD display with a 90Hz refresh rate and 400 nits of peak brightness. This budget-friendly feast for the eyes comes complemented by a quartet of Dolby Atmos speakers and an 8MP selfie camera. On the opposite side, the affordable Android-powered device boasts an 8MP rear camera.

Under the hood, the OPPO Pad Neo is powered by a MediaTek G99 processor, 6GB of RAM and 128GB of expandable storage. On paper, that makes it a pretty close competitor to the likes of the Samsung Galaxy Tab A9 Plus.

While this is far from OPPO's first stab at an affordable Android tablet, the OPPO Pad Neo does have the edge on Samsung's Tab A9 Plus when it comes to battery life. Not only does it feature a larger 8000mAh battery. It also supports faster 33W fast-charging via USB-C.
