iQOO Pad Pro is joining the iQOO Pad Ultra soon, here's what's different
Alongside the iQOO 16, the iQOO Pad Ultra was unveiled at the end of September as an 8.8-inch gaming tablet powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 and the company's Q4 gaming chip. Now the brand is teasing a sibling that keeps much of that formula.
Today on Weibo, iQOO confirmed more details for the Pad Pro 8.8. It shares the Ultra's 8.8-inch 165Hz OLED screen, 298g weight, and 5.74mm thickness, plus the same 9,020 mAh battery. Cooling stays serious too: an Ice Dome setup with a 30x30x3.5mm active fan, a total heat dissipation area of 23,253mm², and three intelligent fan speeds.
What's different is rumored to be the chipset. The Pad Pro is said to use the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 paired with iQOO's Q3 gaming chip, rather than the Extreme Gen 6 and Q4 combo inside the Ultra. That would make sense if iQOO wants to keep the price a bit lower while leaving the gaming chops mostly unchanged. The Pad Pro is due to be released later this month alongside the iQOO Neo12, and reservations are already open in China.

I hope this will come with 5G, compared to other tablets with 8 Elite Gen 5 (SM8850P) doesn't have a 5G modem. But this Pad is either yes/no 5G, as this SoC doesn't have a *P variant. Otherwise, go for the Legion y700 5G

Can the Switch be used to read and reply to emails, watch YouTube, and take notes in a notepad?
