The iQOO Pad 3 Pro, rumored to feature a 12.95″ display, has already bagged the 3C certification. Now, Weibo tipster Smart Pikachu claims that the brand is working on a compact tablet as well, which, according to reports, will compete with the Lenovo Legion Y700 Gen 4.
This compact iQOO tablet reportedly features a display in the 8″ range, expected to be smaller than the 8.8″ Legion Y700 Gen 4. It’s tipped to launch sometime in the second half of this year.
The compact Android tablet market isn’t huge at the moment—the iPad mini alone reportedly accounts for nearly the same number of unit sales as all compact Android tablets combined. But that could change soon, as multiple Chinese OEMs are now focusing on compact tablets, claims Weibo tipster Digital Chat Station.
All these upcoming compact tablets, including the one from iQOO, will reportedly be performance-centric—or more specifically, gaming-centric—while staying thin and light in design, with 8-9″ displays.
Unfortunately, details about the compact iQOO tablet remain scarce. However, based on its performance-focused positioning, it’s expected to pack a recent flagship chipset, such as the Snapdragon 8 Elite or Dimensity 9400.
For reference, the Legion Y700 Gen 4 is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, paired with a 12,000mm² heat sink for sustained performance. It features a 7,600mAh battery with 68W fast charging and will be offered in two configurations: 12GB or 16GB RAM, and 256GB or 512GB of storage.
This compact Legion tablet supports a 165Hz refresh rate, 360Hz touch sampling rate, and reaches 600 nits of typical brightness. The panel has a resolution of 3040 x 1904, translating to a pixel density of 408 PPI. For a look at the design, refer to the image above.
We’ll share more information about the compact iQOO tablet as soon as it becomes available, so stay tuned.
