Details on iQOO’s Compact Gaming Tablet

The information shared by DCS indicates that iQOO is developing a new tablet targeted at the high-performance gaming market. This gadget is rumored to have an 8.35-inch custom LCD display with support for 3K+ resolution and a very high refresh rate.

Specifications and Performance Insights

The leak also states that the device is built on an N-1 platform, which probably refers to a previous generation chipset that is being considered. Although it is expected to launch in the latter half of the year, it’s doubtful that it will use the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 or the Dimensity 9500 chipsets, which are expected to be released in September of this year. Internally, the engineering prototype is reportedly evaluating either the Snapdragon 8 Elite or the Dimensity 9400+ chipset, suggesting high-end performance. The tablet is intended to be a lightweight gaming flagship, but it remains in the early stages of development, meaning the hardware specifications have yet to be finalized.

Competition in the Market

In China, this device is anticipated to compete against models like the Lenovo Legion Y700 (Gen 4), Red Magic Gaming Tablet 3 Pro, and the upcoming Redmi K Pad. The Redmi tablet is said to feature the Dimensity 9400+ chip, while both the Lenovo and Red Magic tablets come equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Elite.

iQOO is expected to launch the iQOO 15 and 15 Pro around the end of September or in October in China. However, it’s still uncertain if the gaming tablet will be introduced alongside the iQOO 15 series or if it will make its debut earlier.
