At the end of August, vivo officially confirmed to enter the tablet category in the first half of 2022. As we are only a month away from the new year, details about the company’s slate have started emerging. The first-ever leak regarding the product gives away the information regarding its chipset.
According to reliable tipster Digital Chat Station, vivo’s first tablet will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 SoC. Hence, it will join the likes of Lenovo Xiaoxin Pad Pro 2021 / Xiaoxin Pad Pro 12.6 and Xiaomi Pad 5 / 5 Pro featuring the same chip.
Further, the leakster says that more OEMs will enter the tablet market in 2022. Hence, customers will have an option to choose from a wide variety of products. He hints at the launch of e-ink tablets, small-size gaming tablets, large-screen OLED flagship tablets, and more.
Unfortunately, we don’t have any further information regarding the vivo tablet. Anyway, it could feature an 8,040mAh battery in accordance with a TÜV Rheinland certification from June. According to a trademark filing from the same month, the product may go official as vivo Pad.
Having said that, we expect to learn more about the alleged vivo Pad in the coming days via leaks, certifications, and official teasers.
