A few days ago, along with the Vivo X Fold 2 and X Flip 2, the company also launched its new tablet in its home country China, dubbed Vivo Pad 2. As the name indicates, it is a successor to the Vivo Pad launched last year.

The newly announced Vivo Pad 2 is now available for purchase in the Chinese market and comes in four different memory configurations, with a starting price of 2,399 yuan (~$348).

Vivo Pad 2 Specs Leak reveals 12 inch 144Hz display, Dimensity 9000, & More

Sean — Wed, 15 Mar 2023 09:01:43 +0000

Vivo is gearing up to launch a new tablet model, which will be the successor to its original Pad model. But ahead of any official announcement, a new leak has revealed some of the key specification of the Vivo Pad 2.

Previously, we had reported on a Google Play Supported Devices List sighting of the Pad 2. This revealed the PA2373 model number of the tablet. It was believed that this device could feature Qualcomm’s latest and greatest Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC. However, the latest leak from known tipster Digital Chat Station has hinted otherwise. The specs leak claims that the Chinese tech giant’s Pad 2 model will be equipped with MediaTek high end Dimensity 9000 chipset.

While the original Vivo Pad model featured an 11 inch IPS LCD panel, it appears that the Pad 2 will sport a taller 12 inch LCD panel that supports 144Hz refresh rate. This display will likely have a high resolution similar to its predecessor that had a 2560 x 1600px resolution. Apart from this, the tipster claims that the upcoming flagship tablet model will also be powered by a large battery pack, but did not reveal the exact battery capacity of this model.

The original Pad model ran on a massive 8,040mAh battery pack so we can expect a similar battery size on its successor. We can also expect certain other specs to make a return like the quad speaker system for an improved audio experience. The original model had a dual camera setup on the rear, which could see an upgrade or see a rise in camera sensor count. We can also see an upgrade on the 8 megapixel selfie shooter that was found on the older model. Keep in mind that this is still just an unconfirmed report so stick around for more updates.

Vivo’s Next Tablet Could Launch in April, Gets MIIT Certified

Anurag — Sat, 25 Feb 2023 07:26:26 +0000

Vivo launched its first-ever tablet— Vivo Pad—back in 2022 with a large 11-inch display, Snapdragon 870 SoC, and more. The slate featured a sleek design with a dual camera setup on the back. The W-fi only tab was limited to Mainland China. Now, rumors claim the company is working on its next tablet, tentatively called Vivo Pad 2. The device has recently bagged China’s MIIT certification. Here are the details.

A Vivo device with model number PA2373 has received China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) certificate. While the authority did not reveal the device’s moniker, reports suggest it is the upcoming Vivo Pad 2. Currently, there’s not much information available about the tablet. A tipster says the device will launch by the end of April with a flagship or mid-range processor under the hood.

Unlike the original Vivo Pad, we can expect the upcoming tablet to also be available in the international market. If priced competitively, Vivo Pad 2 may even attract a lot of customers, especially in countries like India.

To recall, Vivo’s first-ever tablet was unveiled back in April 2022 with an 11-inch LCD screen bearing a 2.5K resolution. The panel offers a 120Hz refresh rate and Dolby Vision support. It comes equipped with a quad-speaker system with support for Dolby Atmos. Under the hood, the tablet is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 processor coupled with Adreno 650 GPU.

It features a dual rear unit on the rear, which comprises a 13MP primary lens and an 8MP ultra-wide-angle sensor. On the front, there is an 8MP shooter for selfies. The device gets 8GB RAM and 128GB onboard storage. It is backed by an 8,040mAh battery unit with support for 44W fast charging.

The Vivo Pad in new color comes in the same 8GB + 128GB and 8GB + 256GB memory configurations as the other colors. It is even priced the same.

The 128GB model costs ¥2,499, while the 256GB variant is priced at ¥2,999. But for a limited, they will be sold at ¥2,299 and ¥2,899, respectively.

The Vivo Pad Xueqing (lilac) version is available for pre-order starting today (November 22) in China. It will hit the shelves on November 30.

The Chinese smartphone maker has just recently shared a teaser image poster of the new purple color variant of its Pad. Looking at this image, we can see that the new Purple color option is like a new lavender variant. It retains the matte metal body and also appears to have a textured color on the rear. For those unaware, the Vivo Pad is the company’s premium grade tablet that launched earlier this year, with top notch specs and features.

It sports an 11 inch display that has a 2.5K resolution and 120Hz refresh rate. Under the hood, the tablet is equipped with the Snapdragon 870 SoC.

Vivo Pad vs OPPO Pad: Specs Comparison

Michele Ingelido — Wed, 04 May 2022 13:57:30 +0000

After the success of tablet PCs during the pandemic, a lot of tech giants decided to focus more on this kind of device. Among these, there are the Chinese companies OPPO and Vivo: both the Green Factory and the Blue Factory launched their first tablets this year. Their names are very simple and obvious: OPPO Pad and Vivo Pad, respectively. They are two tablets placed in the same price range with similar specifications, that is the reason why it is hard to make a choice for a lot of people. Currently, these devices are on sale in China only: while waiting for their global debut, here is a comparison between the specifications of the Vivo Pad and the OPPO Pad.

Vivo Pad vs OPPO Pad

	Vivo Pad	OPPO Pad
DIMENSIONS AND WEIGHT	253.2 x 164.7 x 6.6 mm, 489 grams	252.2 x 163.8 x 7.1 mm, 507 g

MEMORY	8 GB RAM, 128 GB – 8 GB RAM, 256 GB	6 GB RAM, 128 GB – 6 GB RAM, 256 GB – 8 GB RAM, 256 GB
SOFTWARE	Android 12, OriginOS HD	Android 11, ColorOS
CONNECTIVITY	Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/ax, Bluetooth 5.2, GPS	Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/6, Bluetooth 5.1, GPS
CAMERA	Dual 13 + 8 MP f/2.2 + f/2.2 8 MP f/2.0 front camera	Single 13 MP f/2.2 8 MP f/2.0 front camera
BATTERY	8040 mAh, fast charging 44W	8360 mAh, fast charging 33W
ADDITIONAL FEATURES	stylus support, keyboard support, reverse charging	Pen support, keyboard support, reverse charging

Design

The front design of the OPPO Pad and the Vivo Pad is more or less the same: there is a wide rectangular display with a 16:10 aspect ratio surrounded by very narrow bezels on all the sides, covering more than 84% of the front panel. The rear sides are different as the OPPO Pad comes with a more original design (including a texture made with the OPPO letters on the left side) and no camera module, while the Vivo Pad has a bigger camera module because it comes with a higher number of sensors. The Vivo Pad is my favorite one not only because it has a full aluminum unibody design, but also because it is thinner and lighter than its rival.

Display

The displays of the OPPO Pad and the Vivo Pad come with the same specifications. Unfortunately, you do not get OLED panels with these tablets, so do not expect those vivid colors and deep blacks you can get on OLED panels. However, you can still get a great image quality as we are talking about great IPS panels. These displays come with a diagonal of 11 inches, a Quad HD+ resolution of 1600 x 2560 pixels, and a 120 Hz refresh rate for a smooth viewing experience. There are no fingerprint readers and no headphone jacks, but you get great stereo speakers. Both the panels support a stylus and both the tablets can be attached to a keyboard transforming the tablet into a mini 2-in-1.

Specs & Software

The hardware departments are the same as well: you get a Snapdragon 870 mobile platform by Qualcomm built at 6 nm and running at a max frequency of 3.2 GHz, up to 8 GB of RAM, and up to 256 GB of UFS 3.1 internal storage. There is only one single difference: the OPPO Pad does not support 5G connectivity, while you get optional 5G support on the Vivo tablet. The version of the operating system is different as well: on the Vivo device, there is Android 12 out of the box, while the OPPO Pad is still based on Android 11, even though it is customized by ColorOS 12. On the other hand, the ColorOS 12 comes with a very interesting feature that is Multi-Screen Connect, allowing you to achieve a seamless experience between your tablet and your PC.

Camera

If you are looking for a better camera setup, opt for the Vivo Pad. Besides a 13 MP main camera, it provides you with an 8 MP ultrawide sensor and it even supports 4K video recording. The OPPO Pad has just one single 13 MP rear camera and it records videos just with a 1080p resolution. The front cameras come with an 8 MP resolution and an f/2.0 focal aperture.

Battery

The OPPO Pad is equipped with a bigger battery: the capacity is 8630 mAh against just 8040 mAh provided by the Vivo Pad. Given that the hardware components are the same (display and processor), the Vivo Pad will most likely provide a longer battery life in most scenarios. Last but not least, with the Vivo tablet you have a faster charging technology: the power is 44W against just 33W of the OPPO tablet.

Price

The starting price of the OPPO Pad in the Chinese market roughly translates into €330/$347, while you need about €360/$380 to purchase the Vivo Pad. Despite this price difference, Vivo’s first tablet wins the comparison because of its ultrawide camera, optional 5G connectivity, bigger battery, and faster charging.

Vivo Pad vs Xiaomi Pad 5: Specs Comparison

Michele Ingelido — Mon, 18 Apr 2022 19:48:26 +0000

Vivo officially entered the tablets market with its first device: the Vivo Pad. Despite being its first tablet, it comes with high-end specifications, including the 5G connectivity, but it is not the most powerful tablet out there in order to provide a great quality price ratio as well. Just like the Xiaomi Pad 5: another high-end tablet available at great prices. This comparison between the specifications of the Vivo Pad and the Xiaomi Pad 5 will hopefully help you to make the best choice and let you understand which of these tablets offers the highest value for money. After reading the comparisons, you can let us know your opinion by using the comment box below.

Realme Pad vs Xiaomi Mi Pad 5

	Vivo Pad	Xiaomi Mi Pad 5
DIMENSIONS AND WEIGHT	253.2 x 164.7 x 6.6 mm, 489 grams	254.7 x 166.3 x 6.9 mm, 511 g

BATTERY	8040 mAh, fast charging 44W	8720 mAh, fast charging 33W
ADDITIONAL FEATURES	Optional 5H, stylus support, keyboard support, reverse charging	Pen support, keyboard support

Design

The Vivo Pad and Xiaomi Pad 5 come with a great design. They both have very narrow bezels around the display, as well as a very thin and lightweight body. The Vivo Pad wins the comparison because it comes with better materials: it has an aluminum unibody design, while the Xiaomi Pad 5 has just an aluminum frame, while the rear side is made of polycarbonate. Further, the Xiaomi tablet is thicker and heavier than the Vivo rival. Both the devices support a keyboard and a stylus for handwriting and drawing. They have no audio jack and no fingerprint readers.

Display

It looks like the Xiaomi Pad 5 has a better display. It is an IPS LCD panel, but it provides great image quality thanks to advanced specifications. This panel comes with a diagonal of 11 inches, a Quad HD+ resolution of 1600 x 2560 pixels, one billion colors, a 120 Hz refresh rate, the HDR10 certification, and Dolby Vision. The display is paired with four stereo speakers. The Vivo Pad has an 11-inch display as well, with a 120 Hz refresh rate, the same Quad HD Plus resolution, and the HDR10 certification (further, you get four stereo speakers here as well). But this panel does not show up to one billion colors and it lacks Dolby Vision support.

Specs & Software

The most advanced hardware department belongs to the Vivo Pad. It is fueled by the Snapdragon 870 mobile platform built at 7 nm, with a max frequency of 3.2 GHz and 5G connectivity. The chipset is paired with 8 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of internal storage. The Xiaomi Pad 5 is powered by a weaker Snapdragon 860 chipset and it lacks 5G connectivity. So you not only get lower CPU and GPU performance, but you also have to renounce cellular connectivity. Vivo Pad runs Android 12 out of the box customized by OriginOS HD, a special version of the OriginOS customization developed to take advantage of the tablet’s form factor. The Xiaomi Pad 5 is still based on Android 11, customized by MIUI 12.5.

Camera

If you are looking for a superior camera department, then choose the Vivo Pad. Both come with a pretty nice (for a tablet) 13 MP camera, but the Vivo tablet adds an 8 MP ultrawide sensor making the camera setup more versatile. These tablets are able to record 4K videos with the rear camera and 10880p videos with their 8 MP front cameras.

Battery

The Xiaomi Pad 5 is equipped with a bigger 8720 mAh battery and its battery life is longer. On the other hand, the Vivo Pad charges quicker not only because of its smaller battery but also because it supports 44W fast charging. You can even use it as a power bank thanks to reverse charging.

Price

The starting price of the Vivo Pad for the Chinese market roughly translates into €360/$388 at the actual change, for the base variant with 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of internal storage. The Xiaomi Pad 5 sells for €350/$377 in its base variant with 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of native storage, but it is available at better street prices. The Vivo Pad wins the comparison because it has a better chipset, 5G connectivity, an ultrawide camera, and faster charging. But the Xiaomi Pad 5 actually comes with a better display (even though it remains an IPS panel) and a bigger battery. Further, it is available at better prices, so it can let you save money if you do not need an ultrawide camera and 5G.

Sudarshan Ravichandran — Mon, 18 Apr 2022 14:02:05 +0000

Last week, Vivo entered three new product categories on the same day. They are foldable, tablet, and phablet. The first devices in these three categories are officially called Vivo X Fold, Vivo Pad, and Vivo X Note respectively.

All of them come with high-end features. The foldable and the phablet even carry premium price tags to match their specs. However, the tablet falls under the mid-range price segment like most flagship tablets from Chinese OEMs.

Let’s take a look at these products one by one.

Vivo’s first foldable, tablet, and phablet are finally here

Vivo’s First Foldable – Vivo X Fold

At first look, one can clearly say that the Vivo X Fold is inspired by the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold series. But Vivo’s foldable arrives with a better set of features, like dual ultra-sonic in-screen fingerprint sensors, an alert slider, and flagship-level cameras.

Though it is not water-resistant (IPX8) like the Galaxy Z Fold 3, it flaunts a vegan leather rear finish like the Huawei Mate X2 and its hinge is rated to last for 300,000 folds. It is also powered by a custom-made Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC paired with LPDDR5 RAM and UFS 3.1 storage.

Talking about screes, the primary internal foldable Samsung E5 AMOLED display measures 8.03-inch in size and has a 2K resolution, up to a 120Hz refresh rate, and a 4:3.5 aspect ratio. On the other hand, the 6.53-inch external Samsung E5 AMOLED display has a resolution of FHD+, up to a 120Hz refresh rate, and a 21:9 aspect ratio.

Vivo’s First Tablet – Vivo Pad

Just like the tablets from Xiaomi and Oppo, the Vivo Pad is built around an LCD panel and a Qualcomm chipset. It features an 11-inch screen with a 2.5K resolution and up to a 120Hz refresh rate. The display supports Dolby Vision and Vivo Pen stylus input.

It is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 SoC coupled with LPDDR5 RAM and UFS 3.1 storage. It runs OriginOS HD based on Android 12. It is backed by an 8,040mAh battery with support for 44W fast charging.

The Vivo Pad is priced at ¥2,499 and ¥2,999 for 8GB + 128GB and 8GB + 256GB memory variants respectively.

Vivo’s First Phablet – Vivo X Note

The Vivo X Note is huge and has a good set of high-end features. However, it is not a replacement for the Samsung Galaxy Note series. Because it lacks support for a stylus.

The phablet sports a 7.0-inch Samsung E5 AMOLED display with a QHD+ resolution, up to a 120Hz refresh rate, and LTPO 3.0 technology. The screen has a 21:10 aspect ratio, a large ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, and its peak brightness can reach up to 1500 nits.

The handset is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset paired with LPDDR5 RAM and UFS 3.1 storage. It also comes with a Vivo V1 chip for image processing. On the software front, it boots OriginOS Ocean based on Android 12.

For photography and videography, it uses a quad-camera system on the rear with a Zeiss lens and T* coating. The setup includes a 50MP Samsung ISOCCELL GN1 primary sensor with OIS, a 48MP ultrawide unit, a 12MP 2x telephoto shooter, and an 8MP periscope 5x camera with OIS.

Vivo X Note

The X Note meanwhile will be Vivo’s answer for the “ultra-premium” crowd, basically, those who opt for the iPhone 13 Pro Max and the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra. The phone comes in a familiar glass sandwich body, and features a gigantic QHD+ 7-inch display. Paired with a 5000mAh and support for 80W wired and 50W wireless charging, the phone is expected to last you through the entire day within half an hour’s charge.

vivo Smart Devices on Weibo today posted multiple images of the vivo Pad — the company’s very first tablet rumored to be released next month.

The post amusingly said that since the boss requested posters of the product on short notice, all the marketing team could manage were a few actual images. We aren’t complaining though, since the set of images is perhaps the clearest look at the tablet we’ve had to date.

1 of 6

Starting with the rear of the device, there is a circular camera module that looks to be housing at least two lenses inside. This circular module sits inside another island — rectangular this time. A tipster had earlier stated that vivo appears to be going big on round camera modules this year with its upcoming flagship phones, but it seems tablets will be adopting it too. Aside from that, the overall build is metallic and boxy, with squared-off edges.

A keyboard accessory is supported by the vivo Pad as customary, and it frankly looks plenty inspired by the Magic Keyboard you can stick iPads into. It has a flap at the rear which the tablet can lean on, allowing for a laptop-like experience.

Judging from the official renders, the vivo Pad will be available in sky blue and space grey color options. The tablet also supports ecosystem features such as smartphone linking, seamless file transfers, and mobile app controls.

The vivo Pad has already passed 3C certification with model number PA2170, confirming that it chargers at 44W.

Digital Chat Station earlier revealed that the vivo Pad is equipped with the Snapdragon 870 chip, has a 120Hz LCD display, supports 44W fast charging, and has a 7,860mAh battery. The price is expected to be around 2,000 Yuan, meaning the tablet will be competing with the likes of Xiaomi Pad 5, Honor Pad V7, Lenovo Xiaoxin Pad Pro, etc.

Vivo Pad and NEX Tablet to come with Stylus support, launch details tipped: Report

Sudhanshu — Thu, 17 Feb 2022 19:53:45 +0000

The ongoing global pandemic has created a high demand for Android tablets as people are stuck, working and learning from home. Multiple brands have taken advantage of this growing demand by releasing new tablet devices. Vivo is also rumored to soon release the Vivo Pad and NEX branded tablet.

Representative Image

Now, in a new MySmartPrice report tipster Mukul Sharma has revealed that the upcoming Vivo pad and the Vivo NEX branded tablet will come with stylus support and the tablet will be initially launched in China.

The inclusion of stylus support to the tablet hints at the possibility that these devices might not just be aimed towards the general users as Vivo might be trying to cater to professionals like designers and content creators with their upcoming Vivo Pad and Vivo NEX branded tablet.

Vivo Pad specifications (rumored)

A recent leak has revealed that the Vivo Pad has an 11-inch display that can produce a resolution of 2560 x 1600 pixels. In addition, it will offer a refresh rate of 120Hz.

The Snapdragon 870 chipset is present under the hood of the Vivo Pad. It will be backed by an 8,040mAh battery that supports 44W fast charging.

The leak claims that the Vivo Pad’s rear shell will have a dual-camera setup featuring a 13-megapixel main camera and 8-megapixel lens. The front side of the device will be flanked by an 8-megapixel camera. The tablet will lack a fingerprint scanner, which indicates that the company may offer a face unlock security feature on it.

Past reports have claimed that the tablet will be equipped with a punch-hole display with slim bezels. Last month, a Vivo tablet with model number PA2170 was spotted at the 3C certification site with a 44W charger. It appears that the same device will hit the Chinese markets soon with the Vivo Pad moniker. As far as the pricing is concerned, the tipster has speculated that it may cost around 1,599 Yuan (~$252).

vivo’s first tablet to come with a metallic unibody design

Zohaib Ahmed — Fri, 11 Feb 2022 08:35:51 +0000

With the tablet market booming due to pandemic-induced growth, more and more companies that primarily sell smartphones are looking to snatch a slice of the pie. One of them is vivo, which is reportedly set to make its debut into the space this year with the vivo Pad.

Digital Chat Station had earlier revealed that the tablet will sport a 120Hz 11-inch display with a 2560 x 1600 resolution, among other things. The same tipster has now provided additional information, saying that the display will also support HDR10+ and Dolby Vision, making it likely that the vivo Pad will be a premium offering. Its use of the high-end Snapdragon 870 chip testifies to that.

The vivo Pad will be giving a miss to fingerprint recognition, though, which is a bit odd. It could be possible that it will support facial unlocking instead, but that’s just a guess at this point.

The rear camera setup of the tablet will be comprised of dual 13MP cameras and the design of the entire thing is “like a full metal body.” A unibody design is thus likely. Two speakers at the top and bottom will handle the audio and the tablet will also come with matching keyboard and stylus pen accessories.

Digital Chat Station says that the pricing of the vivo Pad isn’t too high and the device aims to set up a multi-device ecosystem.

Do keep in mind here that the “vivo Pad” name is only a supposed moniker and the final unit may be called something else.
