It weighs 536 g, which is fairly typical for a tablet of this size. The device does not include a stylus, a detachable keyboard, or a backlit keyboard, and it carries no water resistance rating.
The Oscal Pad 9 features a 10.1″ IPS LCD touchscreen with a resolution of 1920 x 1200 px, resulting in a pixel density of 224 ppi. The panel operates at a 60 Hz refresh rate and does not support HDR10 or HDR10+. The display also lacks branded damage-resistant glass and sapphire glass protection.
The Oscal Pad 9 is powered by the Unisoc T310 chipset, built on a 12 nm process and configured with four threads running at 1 x 2 GHz and 3 x 1.8 GHz using big.LITTLE technology, with integrated LTE baked into the SoC. It comes with 8GB of DDR4 RAM clocked at 1333 MHz and 128GB of eMMC 5.1 internal storage, with an external memory slot available for additional capacity. Graphics are handled by the PowerVR GE8300 GPU running at 800 MHz, supporting DirectX 10, OpenGL ES 3.2, and OpenCL 1.2. The chipset supports 64-bit processing, and the tablet ships with Android 15.
The Oscal Pad 9 features a 7 MP single-lens rear camera capable of recording 1080p video at 30 fps, backed by a single LED flash and a video light. It supports a useful range of manual controls including ISO, white balance, focus, and exposure, while touch autofocus and continuous autofocus during video recording are also available. In-camera panorama shooting and burst mode are included, though HDR mode, slow-motion video, optical image stabilization, and manual shutter speed are not. The front camera comes in at 5 MP and does not have a front-facing flash.
The Oscal Pad 9 includes stereo speakers for audio output, but does not have a 3.5 mm headphone jack or a built-in radio. On the wireless audio side, none of the aptX codec variants — aptX, aptX HD, or aptX Adaptive — are supported.
The Oscal Pad 9 is equipped with a 7700 mAh rechargeable battery that supports fast charging, and a battery level indicator is present to keep track of remaining charge. The battery is non-removable, and wireless charging is not supported.
The Oscal Pad 9 connects via Wi-Fi 4 (802.11n) and Bluetooth 5, and includes a cellular module supporting a single SIM card, though 5G is not available. Charging runs at 10W over USB Type-C, and the tablet has no HDMI output, NFC, or Ethernet support. On the software side, the device runs a multi-user system with a broad set of features including dark mode, dynamic theming, theme customization, split-screen multitasking, Picture-in-Picture, full-page screenshots, a media picker, widgets, and the ability to play games while they download. Privacy options are well represented, covering location privacy, camera and microphone access controls, app tracking blocking, and clipboard warnings, though cross-site tracking blocking, Mail Privacy Protection, and direct OS vendor updates are absent. Additional capabilities include on-device machine learning, offline voice recognition, voice commands, app offloading, an extra dim mode, battery health check, customizable notifications, sharing intents, child lock, and mobile device position tracking. Sensors are limited — there is no gyroscope, accelerometer, compass, barometer, or infrared sensor — and biometric options such as a fingerprint scanner, iris scanner, and 3D facial recognition are all absent. GPS is also not supported.
The Oscal Pad 9 uses DDR4 memory and has a standard flat display — there is no curved or folding form factor. The device does not support reverse wireless charging, cannot be used as a PC, and lacks a heart rate monitor. On the camera side, the front camera is single-lens, and neither RAW shooting, laser autofocus, nor phase-detection autofocus are available. The display also does not feature an Always-On mode.
