iQOO's gaming-focused small tablet is now official. Meet the iQOO Pad Ultra. It comes with an 8.8-inch AMOLED screen with 2304x1440 resolution (for a 16:10 aspect ratio), a 165Hz refresh rate, and 4,500-nit peak local brightness (peak full-screen brightness is 1,600 nits).
Like the iQOO 16, which also launched today, the iQOO Pad Ultra is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 chipset. iQOO has also packed its self-developed Q4 gaming chip into the tablet, as well as its Wi-Fi enhancement chip. The device comes with an active cooling fan too.
