Vivo iQOO Pad Air: The Overview

Vivo iQOO Pad Air

The Vivo iQOO Pad Air is an 11.5-inch tablet with a 2800 x 1840 IPS display that runs at 144Hz. Inside, it has Qualcomm’s former flagship Snapdragon 870 CPU with up to 12GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. Vivo sells the iQOO Pad Air in several configurations: 8GB/128GB, 8GB/256GB, 12GB/256GB, and 12GB/512GB. The battery is an 8500-mAh Li-Po unit.

Vivo ships the iQOO Pad Air with OriginOS 3, its in-house version of Android, which is based on Android 13. The company has not outlined its update policy for the iQOO Pad Air. Most phones in Vivo’s iQOO range receive monthly security updates at the very least, but it remains to be seen whether Vivo will extend this to the iQOO Pad Air.

Pricing and Availability

Availability for the Vivo iQOO Pad Air is somewhat limited. While the tablet is readily available from mainstream online retailers in many Asian and Southeast Asian countries, those in the US or Europe will have to import a unit if interested. Chinese prices start from $250 for the base model.

Vivo iQOO Pad Air Alternatives

The most obvious alternative to the Vivo iQOO Pad Air is Xiaomi’s Pad 6. The Pad 6 is an 11-inch tablet with a similar 2880 x 1800, 144Hz display. The Xiaomi has the same Snapdragon 870 CPU inside, but the Vivo is available with more RAM (12GB vs. 8GB) and storage (512GB vs. 256GB). That said, the Pad 6’s great advantage is its availability; you can purchase a unit from Amazon very easily.
