iQOO, known for its performance-driven smartphones, may soon unveil a high end tablet with a compact form factor. While details remain limited, early reports suggest the brand is aiming to challenge existing players like Xiaomi and Apple that have their own “mini” flagship tablets. So here’s everything you need to know.

iQOO May Launch a Compact Premium Tablet Soon

To recall, there are a few brands with mini tablet offerings. A popular model is Apple’s latest iPad Mini, while there are also new Chinese options like the Redmi K Pad (upcoming Xiaomi Pad Mini in the global market), Lenovo Legion Y700 (Review), and Red Magic Astra. Now, an upcoming mini iQOO Pad model could take on the competition, as per Digital Chat Station.

The known tipster claims that iQOO’s new compact tablet will arrive with flagship grade specs and may sport an 8.3-inch display. This model was initially expected to debut later this year, but its release may have been delayed to 2026. Apart from its high end specs and display size, DCS did not reveal any other finer details about this compact tablet.

We can expect this new tablet to feature top-end processors like the Snapdragon 8 Elite. But considering the delay, there’s a chance it could replace this with the newer Snapdragon 8 Elite 2. Keep in mind that this is still just an unconfirmed report, so take this news with a pinch of salt for now and stick around for more.

In related news, the brand just teased the iQOO Z10R with the Dimensity 7400, 12GB RAM, 5700mAh battery, and more for under Rs 20,000 pricing.

iQOO, a sub-brand of Vivo known for launching premium and gaming-focused smartphones, is now gearing up to launch a tablet in the Chinese market.

According to a new report from Digital Chat Station, the upcoming iQOO tablet has been named iQOO Pad and is expected to be similar to the Vivo Pad 2, which was recently launched in China.

Further, the report adds that the iQOO Pad will come powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9000+ processor, but more details about the device remain unknown at this time.

It will be running with the Android operating system out-of-the-box, but it remains to be seen which version of the custom interface it gets. We are also expecting the tablet to have support for USB 3.2 Gen 1 and come packed with a 10,000mAh battery with support for 44W fast charging.

The post iQOO Neo 8 Series & iQOO Pad Rumored Specs and Launch Date Revealed appeared first on Gizmochina.

In August 2020, iQOO filed trademark applications for “iQOO Pad” and “iQOOBOOK,” which suggested that the company may enter the tablet and laptop markets sooner or later. Nearly three years have passed since the trademark filings, and iQOO hasn’t launched a tablet or a notebook. A new Vivo device has been approved by China’s MIIT regulatory body. It is being said that it could be the first iQOO-branded tablet.

A couple of known Chinese tipsters have claimed that a device with model number iPA375 could be the upcoming iQOO tablet. Unfortunately, the certification has not revealed any information on the specifications of the tablet. However, it does reveal support for 5.8GHz Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. It does not state anything about 4G LTE or 5G support, which indicates that it may not support cellular connectivity.

Since iQOO is known for launching gaming-focused smartphones, the rumored iQOO Pad could be a powerful tablet powered by a high-end chipset to offer a superior gaming experience. It is advisable to wait for further reports to know more about the iQOO Pad.

Vivo and its sub-brand iQOO have several phones lined up for launch in the Chinese market. Vivo may announce the Vivo S17e, S17, and S17 Pro in May. The same month is expected to see the arrival of the iQOO Neo 8 and Neo 8 Pro in China. The latter is said to arrive as the first phone powered by the Dimensity 9200 Plus chipset.

The iQOO 11S and Vivo X90 Plus featuring the same Dimensity 9200 Plus are also said to be in the works. These phones are expected to release in the third quarter of this year.

iQOO is Vivo’s sub-brand and it has already announced a handful of smartphones since its debut last year. However, smartphones may not be the only product we will be getting from the brand based on recent trademark applications.

It turns out that Vivo has filed trademark applications for “iQOO PAD” and “iQOOBOOK”, and there are speculations that they point at new product categories – tablets and notebooks respectively to be precise. The trademark applications were filed in June according to the image below from ITHome.

iQOO planning to launch products other than smartphones should not come as a surprise as there is hardly any Chinese smartphone manufacturer that only makes phones. Take Redmi for example, whose portfolio now includes washing machines, notebooks, and TVs.

It is important to state that these iQOO products may not launch anytime soon and this may just be a plan by Vivo to secure the trademarks. Nevertheless, we look forward to their arrival and to what new features they will bring to the market.

iQOO is currently focused on launching its next flagship, the iQOO 5, which will have support for 120W fast charging that allows a 4000mAh battery to be charged from empty to full in just 15 minutes. The phone will also have a 120Hz display and be powered by the Snapdragon 865 Mobile Platform.
