Details Still Under Wraps
Currently, Vivo has not shared many specifics about either tablet, but well-known leaker Digital Chat Station has provided some insights into the Pad SE and its differences from the Pad 5 Pro.
Display and Charging Differences
The Pad SE is expected to feature one of Vivo's 'soft light' displays, measuring 12.25 inches diagonally, which is smaller than the Pad 5 Pro’s display, which is just over 13 inches. There is no information yet on the refresh rate of the 5 Pro, which is rumored to be "high" (likely around 144Hz). Additionally, the Pad SE will charge at a slower rate of 15 watts (W), in contrast to the Pad 5 Pro's 66W charging capability.
Color and Storage Options
The Pad SE will be available in three colors: Blue, Titanium, and Dark Gray. It will come standard with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage, with potential options for 8GB/128GB and 8GB/256GB configurations as well.
Competitor Landscape
Although the leak doesn’t reveal the processor for the Pad SE, it might prove to be a solid competitor against devices like the Lenovo Tab P12 (2024), which is currently priced at $309.99 on Amazon.
