Oppo Pad 5 Matte Display: Comprehensive Battery Life and Charging Insights-News-SeeMyPhone-Search for smartphones and cell phones

The battery life and charging tests for the Oppo Pad 5 Matte Display (also known as the Pad Air5) have been completed.

This tablet features a robust 10,050mAh battery, powered by the 4nm Dimensity 7300 Ultra processor and a 12.1-inch 120Hz IPS LCD. The Matte Display Edition offers an anti-glare screen, certified by TÜV Rheinland to reduce reflections by 97% and harmful blue light by 70%.

In practical use, the display performs admirably, remaining easily legible in bright sunlight, making it a viable option for users requiring mobile web work.

Oppo Pad 5 Matte Display (aka Air5) battery life and charging test

Now, let’s delve into the battery life performance. The Oppo Pad Air5 achieves a commendable 13-hour Active Use Score. The details are as follows: approximately 49 hours of calling, 13 hours of browsing, nearly 14.5 hours of video playback, and exactly 7 hours of gaming, with the calling test conducted via WhatsApp.

While the overall performance is respectable, it pales in comparison to the OnePlus Pad Go 2, which boasts identical specifications and outperformed the Oppo in multiple areas. The OnePlus achieved 1.5 hours more in the Active Use Score, 13 hours more in the calling test, 1 hour more in browsing, and nearly 1.5 hours more in video playback, alongside an extra hour in gaming tests.

Furthermore, the Oppo Pad Air5 doesn't shine in charging performance, which is expected given its limited 33W charging speed—dubbed SuperVOOC for unclear reasons.

It reaches 16% in 15 minutes, 33% in 30 minutes, and takes nearly 2 hours to achieve a full 100% charge. However, it mostly keeps pace with the similarly-spec’d Honor MagicPad4, which, despite having twice the charging speed at 66W, is a compelling comparison.
