Vivo has officially added two new tablets to its lineup, the Pad SE and Pad 5 Pro. Both tablets target different audiences. The Pad SE is an affordable model geared toward learning. Meanwhile, the Pad 5 Pro is a high-end option for those who want a large slate for things like gaming and more.

Vivo Pad SE

The Pad SE features a 12.3-inch 2.5K display with a 3:2 aspect ratio and a 90Hz refresh rate. Vivo is also offering the tablet in two screen options: a standard version and a Soft Light Edition that’s designed to reduce eye strain.

The Soft Light Edition includes what Vivo calls a nano-etching AG technology. It is supposed to cut down on reflections and glare by up to 97 percent. This version is also TÜV Rheinland certified for both anti-reflective properties and hardware-level low blue light.

Not to worry, though, the regular display also includes the hardware-level low blue light protection. Both screens come with DC dimming, a sleep mode that’s meant to align with melatonin secretion patterns, intelligent color temperature adjustment, and bionic brightness control, which adapts to your environment to avoid blasting your eyes in dark rooms.

Under the hood, the Pad SE is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 chipset. This is an entry-level SoC that’s good enough for basic tasks like browsing, watching videos, and light productivity. It comes with up to 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, and there’s a quad-speaker setup onboard for media playback.

The device houses an 8,500mAh battery, which Vivo claims will retain over 80 percent health after 1,500 charging cycles, or roughly 50 months of regular use.

Vivo is marketing this one heavily toward students and younger users. And for that, the Pad SE includes an exclusive Learning Center app featuring AI-assisted study tools, textbook access, and video lessons.

Vivo Pad SE Price and Availability

The Pad SE comes in two finishes, Blue and Dark Gray, and in three configurations:

• 6GB + 128GB: 999 yuan
• 8GB + 128GB: 1,299 yuan 
• 8GB + 256GB: 1,599 yuan 

The Soft Light Edition comes in Titanium and Dark Gray and in same configurations but at slightly higher prices:

• 6GB + 128GB: 1,199 yuan 
• 8GB + 128GB: 1,499 yuan 
• 8GB + 256GB: 1,799 yuan 

There’s no official word yet on global availability.

Vivo Pad 5 Pro

The Pad 5 Pro is a flagship tablet powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 9400 processor. It features a 13-inch panel with a 3.1K resolution (roughly 3096×2064), HDR10 support, and a 144Hz refresh rate. 

The screen is color accurate with ∆E≈0.8 and hits 1200 nits peak brightness. It also has hardware-level low blue light certification and over 10 layers of eye protection technologies. It’s designed to be easier on the eyes, whether you’re binge-watching or reading PDFs for hours.

As a flagship tablet, you can easily run a variety of games on it. According to Vivo, standard shooters can run at the full 3.1K resolution. Whereas, you can go up to 2.4K resolution with 120FPS frame concurrency in open-world games with a special Performance Mode+ (provided you pair it with Vivo’s magnetic heat dissipation back clip). 

If you’re not trying to turn this into a mobile gaming rig, the system still stays cool thanks to a 40600mm² superconducting heat dissipation setup.

Software-wise, it runs OriginOS 5 HD, which is tuned to give users PC-level flexibility for document editing, file management, or the ability to act as a secondary display.

Vivo’s Xiao V assistant can help you write speeches, resumes, and more, directly in apps like Atom Notes and Vivo Docs. There’s even an AiPPT Assistant for those moments when you need to throw together a last-minute deck.

For multitasking, you get features like multi-device sync, universal clipboard, and support for connecting to Windows or macOS machines. 

Audio is handled by an 8-speaker panoramic acoustic system with symmetrical layout. And on the visual side, Vivo has custom-built SDR-to-HDR and HDR enhancement engines to give a quality boost to older content. 

The tablet houses a 12,050mAh battery, which is rated for 16 hours of video streaming.

On the accessories side, the Vivo Pencil 3 supports 10,000+ levels of pressure, low-latency input, and gesture controls. The Smart Keyboard 5 Pro includes AI-trigger buttons, and the Smart Double-Sided Clip 5 Pro offers flexible positioning and wake/sleep functionality.

Vivo Pad 5 Pro Price and Availability

The Vivo Pad 5 Pro will be available in China starting April 25, with the base 12GB + 128GB (UFS 3.1) model priced at 2549 yuan. Here’s the complete pricing breakdown:

• 12GB +128GB (UFS 3.1) : 2549 yuan
• 12GB + 256GB (UFS 4.1) : 2634 yuan
