Vivo is anticipated to be developing the Pad 3, a budget-friendly counterpart to the Pad 3 Pro tablet, which debuted earlier this year. Though official information about the device is currently limited, tipster Digital Chat Station has leaked some details about the Pad 3’s specifications.
Display and Performance
The Pad 3 is projected to feature a substantial 12.1-inch LCD screen with a resolution of 2800 x 1968 pixels. Importantly, the display supports a smooth 144Hz refresh rate, which could attract gamers and users who value a fluid experience.
At its core, the device will house a Snapdragon 8s Gen3 processor, Qualcomm’s latest sub-flagship chip. This suggests the tablet will be capable of handling everyday tasks and gaming efficiently. Additionally, it will be powered by a significant 10000mAh battery, promising good endurance on a single charge.
Camera and Security
For photography and videography, the Pad 3 will come with a basic camera setup. It will have a 5-megapixel front-facing selfie camera and an 8-megapixel main camera on the rear.
Security-wise, the device will utilize a 2D facial recognition solution. The leak also indicates at least one storage configuration featuring 12GB of RAM and 512GB of internal storage.
Vivo Pad 3 Pro
There are speculations that the Vivo Pad 3 might be rebranded as the iQOO Pad 2. The leak uses the terms “Pad 3 / Pad 2,” implying that the Vivo Pad 3 could be marketed as the iQOO Pad 2 in certain regions.
This theory is further corroborated by similar model numbers appearing on China’s 3C certification platform for both devices.
With the current information, the Vivo Pad 3 (or iQOO Pad 2) seems to be shaping up as an upper mid-range tablet, featuring a large display, a competent processor, and a sizable battery.
The company has yet to confirm any official details about the device. However, given the leaks, an announcement from Vivo is likely imminent.
