Summary

  • iQOO Pad Pro has been unveiled with an 8.8-inch 2K AMOLED display with 165 Hz refresh rate.
  • The tablet is powered by Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset with up to 16 GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 512 GB UFS 4.1 storage.
  • With a 9,020mAh battery and 66W charging, the base 8 GB + 256 GB variant costs 4,299 Yuan (~Rs 61,000)

After launching the compact iQOO Pad Ultra tablet last month, the brand has now introduced the toned-down iQOO Pad Pro in China at a more pocket-friendly price. However, the Pro model still packs a punch in terms of on-paper specifications.

iQOO Pad Pro Specifications and Features

The Pad Pro borrows its aesthetics largely from the iQOO Pad Ultra. The air intake grille is embedded in the extended camera module.

The front boasts a hole-punch notch, while the tablet itself is pretty compact and slim at 5.74 mm. iQOO claims an unusually lightweight chassis at 298 grams, though endurance tests will show how it balances the 9,020mAh battery.

It boasts a similarly sized 8.8-inch AMOLED panel, pushing 2K resolution in a 16:10 aspect ratio. Featuring a 165 Hz refresh rate and a 5,000 Hz instantaneous touch sampling rate, the 12-bit display also features an 800,000:1 contrast ratio alongside standard HDR support.

Powering the internals is the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset paired with an active cooling fan. It is further complemented by LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.1 storage. The tablet also boasts a humongous 23,253 mm2 vapour chamber to dissipate heat faster.

To keep the device running during heavy gaming or productivity tasks, it houses a 9,020mAh typical battery that supports 66W wired charging via a Type-C port. It's pretty close to the iQOO Neo 12 which has launched alongside the tablet.

For optics, the tablet includes a 13 MP rear camera alongside an 8 MP front-facing shooter. The hardware runs on OriginOS 7 and features symmetrical dual speakers, Bluetooth 5.4, and Wi-Fi 7 connectivity.

iQOO Pad Pro Price in China and Sale Date

The iQOO Pad Pro starts at 8 GB + 256 GB and costs 4,299 Chinese yuan (approx. Rs 61,000). There are two colours on offer – Icy Blue and Ash Grey. The tablet is now officially available on the Vivo China storefront.
