Among the several new tablet devices set to be launched in the coming weeks and months is the Vivo Pad. This will also mark the Chinese manufacturer’s first foray into the tablet segment. However, instead of launching an entry-level tablet, as is the usual strategy of most other manufacturers, Vivo Pad is shaping up to pose a challenge to even the flagship tablets out there.
Much of that has to do with the Snapdragon 870 chipset that noted leaker Digital Chat Station claimed the Vivo Pad will come with. This has been revealed in a post made on Weibo wherein the tipster also stated the tablet is coming sometime soon. That said, the earliest that the tablet is expected to launch is around early-2022.
As for its features, that again is anybody’s guess at the moment. That said, it could be safe to assume the tablet is going to support Wi-Fi 6 and 5G connectivity given that the SD 870 chipset supports both. Also, while it may not be a performance monster, the SD 870 chipset has still gone for some critical reviews and is seen as quite a capable chipset.
Also, it has been quite some time since the tablet has been in the making. The first time that the tech world got to know of Vivo’s tablet ambitions has been in June last. That was when the company was found to have applied for a trademark on the Vivo Pad brand, which itself is proof enough of it being a tablet device after all. Later, the company’s executive vice president, Hu Baishan confirmed that the tablet will hit stores around early 2022.
That is also when quite a few other tablet devices are slated for launch. Those include devices from Oppo, Asus, Lenovo, and Samsung, among others. Meanwhile, watch this space for more on Vivo Pad as it emerges.
With a keen interest in tech, I make it a point to keep myself updated on the latest developments in technology and gadgets. That includes smartphones or tablet devices but stretches to even AI and self-driven automobiles, the latter being my latest fad. Besides writing, I like watching videos, reading, listening to music, or experimenting with different recipes. The motion picture is another aspect that interests me a lot, and I'll likely make a film sometime in the future.
