With the Oppo Pad SE LTE, the Chinese manufacturer is launching an attractively priced Android tablet on the market that, despite its entry-level class, offers a number of features that provide real added value in everyday use. The tablet’s integrated LTE functionality offers a decisive advantage, especially for users who do not want to do without an Internet connection when they are on the move. In combination with a bright 11-inch display, a powerful battery and Android 15 in a slightly customized form, the Oppo Pad SE LTE could be interesting for many scenarios from couch streaming to mobile navigation.
Key features at a glance:
- 11-inch LCD with 90 Hz and 500 nits brightness
- LTE module for mobile internet connections via SIM card
- MediaTek Helio G100 SoC with 6 GB RAM and 128 GB memory
- 9,340 mAh battery with 33 watt fast charging function
Display, design and everyday performance
The Oppo Pad SE LTE has an 11-inch LCD display with a resolution of 1,920 x 1,200 pixels, a refresh rate of 90 Hz and a maximum brightness of 500 cd/m². This combination is rather rare in the EUR 269 price range and should ensure smooth scrolling and solid visibility when used indoors. Classic LCDs quickly reach their limits in direct sunlight, but the brightness is usually sufficient for everyday use such as browsing, video streaming or word processing.
The tablet weighs 530 grams and is pleasantly slim with a thickness of 7.4 millimeters, which also makes it comfortable for longer usage sessions on the couch or on the train. The built-in MediaTek Helio G100 processor is a solid mid-range SoC that, in combination with 6 GB of RAM, offers sufficient performance for common tasks. However, demanding games or multitasking with many active apps are not the focus of the device. The internal memory is 128 GB – enough for apps and a small amount of local files. However, the use of cloud services or streaming services is recommended for larger media libraries.
Mobile connectivity and flexible application options
The standout feature of the Oppo Pad SE LTE is the integrated mobile connectivity via LTE. With a SIM card, the tablet can access the Internet independently of Wi-Fi networks – a clear advantage for users who travel a lot or see the device as a lightweight alternative to a laptop. Particularly practical: an integrated GNSS module also enables the location to be determined. With a suitable holder, the tablet can be used as a navigation system in the vehicle, for example.
Oppo is also pragmatic when it comes to software: The tablet comes with Android 15, albeit in a slightly modified version. This should provide a good balance between functionality and system performance without overwhelming the user with overloaded user interfaces. It also provides a solid update basis for the coming years.
Battery performance and availability
The built-in battery holds an impressive 9,340 mAh – enough for one to two days of typical use. The charging speed is particularly pleasing: with up to 33 watts, the device can be ready for use again in a comparatively short time, which is by no means a matter of course in this price range.
The Oppo Pad SE LTE can currently be ordered via the authorized exclusive distributor in the Netherlands. The provider also delivers to Germany and Austria. The price is 269 euros, plus 5 euros shipping costs. The tablet is thus clearly positioned in the entry-level segment, but offers some features that you would not necessarily expect there – in particular the LTE function, the 90 Hz display and the fast charging option.
Conclusion: Practical tablet with added mobile value
The Oppo Pad SE LTE is not a high-end device, but it is a well thought-out tablet with a focus on suitability for everyday use and mobile flexibility. Anyone looking for an inexpensive Android tablet with LTE support that can be used anywhere without Wi-Fi will find a well-rounded overall package here. With solid features, a good display and the latest Android, it should be particularly suitable for media consumption, navigation and light productivity tasks. The recommended retail price of 269 euros also makes the device an attractive price for many user groups.
