iQOO has unveiled a new 8.8-inch tablet called the Pad Pro, and they’re calling it a “pocket e-sports behemoth.” In simpler terms, it packs flagship-level gaming hardware into a device that feels closer to a big phone than a regular tablet.
Inside, you’ve got a dual-chip setup: Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 plus iQOO’s own Q3 gaming chip. The Q3 works with their QNSS super-rendering engine to give you 2K super-resolution, full-scene ray tracing, and lossless super-frame in supported games. Memory is LPDDR5X Ultra + UFS 4.1 across the board.
They also threw in some very specific gaming tools. There’s an FPS dark-area enhancement filter that makes enemy outlines and materials clearer in dark corners, ultra-sensitive zone touch with edge anti-mistouch and multi-finger jitter fixes, and a gyroscope that can sample up to 500 Hz.
Cooling is taken seriously here. It uses an Ultra-level Ice Dome quad-layer system with a 30 × 30 × 3.5 mm active fan that pushes up to 0.94 CFM, bidirectional intakes, dual vapor chambers, and a big slab of high-conductivity graphite. Total heat-dissipation area is over 23,000 mm². Official testing claims it holds an average of 60.2 fps in large open-world games running at ultra-high graphics and 60 fps.
Physically it’s the same compact package as the Pad Ultra: 8.8-inch 165 Hz AMOLED (1440 × 2304, 16:10, 8,000,000:1 contrast), 9,020 mAh battery with 66 W charging, just 5.74 mm thick and 298 g. You also get symmetrical dual speakers, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, USB 3.2 Gen2, and face unlock. Cameras are a straightforward 13 MP rear (4K video) and 8 MP front.
