Asus Pad returns to India after years with 2.8K OLED display and Dimensity 8300 chip

Asus has been actively launching laptops in India, but the company has stayed away from the tablet segment for several years. The brand is now making a comeback with the Asus Pad, which is set to launch in India on August 6. While the pricing remains under wraps, the tablet is already official, and its specifications are known after its global unveiling last month.

Asus Pad specifications and features

The Asus Pad comes with a 12.2-inch 2.8K dual-layer OLED display featuring a 144Hz refresh rate, 3:2 aspect ratio, and up to 2,000 nits peak brightness. The panel offers 100% DCI-P3 colour coverage and is certified for low flicker and reduced blue light emissions. The tablet has a 92% screen-to-body ratio, making it suitable for entertainment and creative tasks. For photography and video calls, it includes a 13-megapixel rear camera and a 5-megapixel front camera with Face Unlock support.

The tablet is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 8300 processor paired with 8GB LPDDR5X RAM. It runs on Android 16 and comes with up to 256GB UFS 3.1 storage. Users can further expand storage through a microSD card slot supporting up to 1TB. The Asus Pad packs a 9,000mAh battery with support for 45W fast charging, which can charge the device from zero to 50% in around 30 minutes.

The Asus Pad features a quad-speaker setup with Dolby Atmos 360-degree cinematic sound for an immersive audio experience. It also supports Asus Pen 2.0 and compatible Bluetooth keyboards, allowing users to take notes, sketch, edit documents, and handle productivity tasks. Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3, while the tablet does not offer SIM support. It includes a USB Type-C port with DisplayPort 1.4 support and uses GlideX for sharing files across Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS devices.

Measuring 271.1 x 182.4 x 6.5mm and weighing 523g, the Asus Pad is designed as a portable tablet for travel, work, learning, and entertainment. It comes with a protective folio case that doubles as a stand with four viewing modes.

Asus Pad color options and storage variants

The Asus Pad will be available in a Pure White colour option with 128GB and 256GB storage variants. The company has not revealed the pricing yet, but it will be sold through Flipkart.
