Vivo is gearing up for a major hardware refresh in China, with its flagship X200s and X200 Ultra smartphones expected to launch later this month. But the spotlight isn’t just on phones this time. Alongside the upcoming flagships, the company is preparing to roll out two new Android tablets—the Vivo Pad 5 Pro and the Vivo Pad SE—as well as the Vivo Watch 5. While an official launch date is still under wraps, a new leak from reliable tipster Digital Chat Station has given us a solid glimpse into what’s coming.
The Vivo Pad 5 Pro is shaping up to be the centerpiece of this upcoming release. The tablet is rumored to sport a 13-inch LCD display with a crisp 3.1K resolution, complemented by a high refresh rate—likely in the 120Hz+ territory—designed to deliver smooth scrolling and an immersive visual experience. That alone puts it in direct competition with high-end Android tablets like the Xiaomi Pad 6 Max and Samsung’s Galaxy Tab S9+.
Under the hood, the Pad 5 Pro is expected to run on MediaTek’s Dimensity 9400, a flagship-tier chipset known for its efficiency and AI capabilities. Powering all of this will be a massive 12,000mAh battery with support for 66W fast charging, making it one of the most capable slates in terms of battery life and charging speed.
Camera-wise, the Pad 5 Pro will likely include a 13MP rear camera and an 8MP front shooter—not groundbreaking, but enough for casual photography, document scanning, and crisp video calls.
Vivo is also bringing variety to the table when it comes to RAM and storage configurations. Expect four options:
– 8GB + 256GB
– 12GB + 256GB
– 12GB + 512GB
– 16GB + 512GB
As for colorways, it’ll be available in a refined palette: Spring Tide Blue, Cold Star Gray, Cloud Pink, and Light Feather White. Judging by past Vivo hardware, we can likely expect a clean, premium design—possibly with stylus and keyboard support for productivity.
Vivo Pad SE: A Budget-Friendly Alternative with a Focus on Comfort
If the Pad 5 Pro is aimed at the power user, the Vivo Pad SE is designed for the more budget-conscious crowd or students looking for a lightweight, media-friendly tablet.
This entry-level model will reportedly feature a 12.25-inch LCD screen, and Vivo is also said to be prepping a soft light variant, possibly with a reduced blue light profile or e-ink-like display qualities for a more eye-friendly reading experience.
Details about its cameras and battery capacity remain a mystery for now, but 15W charging confirms that this is a modest device by comparison. In terms of memory and storage, the Pad SE will be offered in:
– 6GB + 128GB
– 8GB + 128GB
– 8GB + 256GB
Color options are simpler but still stylish, with Blue, Titanium, and Dark Gray finishes expected at launch.
