Islamabad, May 21, 2025: Vivo’s iQOO brand has just made a bold statement in China’s tech market, unveiling a powerhouse lineup that includes the iQOO Pad 5 series, the sleek iQOO Watch 5, and the feature-rich TWS Air3 earbuds.
With cutting-edge specs and aggressive pricing, iQOO is clearly stepping up to challenge established players like Xiaomi and Huawei in the smart device space.
iQOO Pad 5 & Pad 5 Pro: Powerful Tablets for Every Need
The newly launched iQOO Pad 5 and Pad 5 Pro tablets share a similar minimalist aesthetic but vary significantly in hardware.
The Pad 5 Pro boasts a large 13-inch IPS LCD with an ultra-smooth 144Hz refresh rate and a crisp 2064 x 3096 resolution. Meanwhile, the standard Pad 5 offers a slightly smaller 12.1-inch 2.8K display but maintains the same high refresh rate for fluid visuals.
Under the hood, the Pad 5 Pro runs on MediaTek’s flagship Dimensity 9400+ chip, ensuring top-tier performance, while the Pad 5 uses the slightly older but still capable Dimensity 9300+. Both models can be configured with up to 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 512GB of UFS 4.1 storage.
When it comes to cameras, the Pad 5 features a modest 5MP front and 8MP rear setup. The Pro bumps that up with an 8MP selfie camera and a sharper 13MP rear lens. For audio lovers, the Pad 5 Pro packs an impressive eight-speaker system, whereas the standard version includes six.
Battery life won’t be a concern either. The Pad 5 comes with a 10,000mAh battery supporting 44W fast charging, while the Pad 5 Pro carries a massive 12,050mAh cell with 66W fast charging. Both devices run OriginOS 5 and support Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4 for seamless connectivity.
