Compact gaming tablets are usually a trade-off between portability and sustained performance. iQOO is betting that the Pad Ultra can narrow that gap: the 8.8-inch Android tablet has a built-in fan despite measuring 5.74 mm thick and weighing 298 grams. Its all-metal body, active cooling system, and optional gaming accessories position it closer to a handheld-style gaming setup than a conventional small tablet.
A thin chassis with a dedicated cooling fan
The Pad Ultra’s fan measures 30 × 30 × 3.5 mm and is rated for speeds of up to 14,500 rpm. iQOO claims the cooling design provides 1,661 mm² of heat-dissipation area and airflow of up to 0.94 CFM. Those figures do not establish real-world sustained performance on their own, but active cooling is an unusual inclusion in a tablet this thin and light.
The 8.8-inch format places the Pad Ultra in the same compact gaming-tablet category as Lenovo’s Legion Tab 8.8 (2025). iQOO has also shown a telescopic controller and a rear grip accessory, suggesting an emphasis on longer landscape gaming sessions rather than only touch-based play.
Touch response and controls take priority
iQOO advertises up to 5,000 Hz instantaneous touch sampling, a peak measurement distinct from its up-to-500 Hz multi-touch sampling rate. The company pairs those touch features with a dedicated gyroscope, two X-axis linear motors, and symmetrical stereo speakers—hardware intended to support more responsive controls, directional audio, and vibration feedback in games.

The company has also referenced a new-generation “Monster Super Core Engine” and an in-house scheduler, although it has not explained how either works. iQOO plans to discuss its “3+2” gaming technology framework at a September 23 event before the Pad Ultra’s September 29 commercial launch in China.
iQOO has not announced pricing or U.S. availability. For now, the Pad Ultra looks aimed at players who want a more travel-friendly gaming screen without giving up purpose-built cooling and controller options; its eventual value will depend heavily on the remaining specifications, price, and whether it launches beyond China.
