iQOO has officially expanded its premium device lineup in China with the launch of the new iQOO Pad 6 Pro, unveiled during the company’s May 2026 event. The same event also introduced the iQOO TWS 5i true wireless earbuds and the iQOO 15T smartphone, showing that Vivo’s performance-focused sub-brand is now pushing aggressively beyond smartphones into tablets and audio.

The iQOO Pad 6 Pro is clearly built as a flagship-class Android tablet, featuring Qualcomm’s latest high-end chipset and a large high-refresh display aimed at power users, gamers, and entertainment-focused buyers.

This kind of multi-category expansion reflects what we’re seeing across the industry in 2026, where brands are trying to create ecosystems of premium devices — similar to how Apple is strengthening its platform-wide feature integration, as seen in Apple Intelligence Brings Major Accessibility Upgrades: VoiceOver, Live Recognition, AI Captions and Vision Pro Eye Control.

iQOO Pad 6 Pro Price and Availability in China

The iQOO Pad 6 Pro is currently available in China through Vivo’s official online store. Pricing begins at CNY 4,499 (roughly Rs. 64,000) for the base variant with 8GB RAM and 256GB storage.

The 12GB + 256GB configuration is priced at CNY 4,999 (around Rs. 71,000), while the 12GB + 512GB variant costs CNY 5,799 (roughly Rs. 83,000). The top-end version with 16GB RAM and 512GB storage is listed at CNY 6,699 (about Rs. 95,000).

The tablet is offered in three colour options — Gray Crystal, Isle of Man, and Silverwing (translated from Chinese).

Alongside the tablet, iQOO also launched the iQOO TWS 5i earbuds, priced at CNY 119 (roughly Rs. 1,700) and offered in a single Sharp Yellow colourway.

Display: 13.2-Inch 4K LCD Panel With 144Hz Refresh Rate

The iQOO Pad 6 Pro comes equipped with a large 13.2-inch 4K LCD touchscreen, featuring a 3:2 aspect ratio that makes it better suited for multitasking and productivity compared to the wider 16:9 panels still seen on some tablets.

The display supports up to 144Hz refresh rate, which should improve responsiveness for gaming, scrolling, and stylus-based work. iQOO also claims up to 1,200 nits peak brightness, which is a strong number for an LCD panel, especially for HDR video viewing and bright indoor usage.

Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 Brings Flagship-Level Performance

At the core of the iQOO Pad 6 Pro is Qualcomm’s flagship Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset, built on a 3nm process. This puts the tablet firmly into the flagship Android segment and signals iQOO’s intention to deliver laptop-like performance for multitasking, gaming, and high-end workloads.

The tablet is offered with up to 16GB LPDDR5x RAM and up to 512GB UFS 4.1 internal storage, giving it the kind of memory and storage performance typically reserved for premium flagship devices.

This “maxed-out hardware” approach mirrors the strategy brands are using in performance devices across categories, including premium gaming hardware like the Lenovo Legion 5 15IAX11 listed online with OLED and RTX 5070, where high-end specs are now becoming a key differentiator even outside the ultra-flagship tier.

Cameras: 13MP Rear and 8MP Front for Calls and Basic Use

For cameras, iQOO is keeping things practical. The Pad 6 Pro features a 13-megapixel rear camera, which is likely aimed at document scanning and casual shots.

On the front, the tablet carries an 8-megapixel selfie camera, designed for video calls, online meetings, and remote learning.

Eight-Speaker Audio and 3D Cooling System

Audio appears to be a major focus. iQOO has equipped the Pad 6 Pro with an eight-speaker panoramic acoustic setup, which should provide louder output and wider stereo separation than typical Android tablets.

To manage heat under heavy usage, iQOO has also added a 3D cooling system, which is especially important considering the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 is designed for sustained high-performance tasks.

Battery: 13,000mAh With Wired Fast Charging

The iQOO Pad 6 Pro is backed by a large 13,000mAh battery, positioning it as a tablet designed for long usage sessions, whether for gaming, productivity, or content consumption.

Charging is supported via a USB Type-C port with wired fast charging, though iQOO has not listed the exact charging wattage in the provided specifications.

Connectivity and Security: Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, and Face Unlock

Connectivity includes Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4, which ensures support for the latest wireless standards and better performance with next-gen routers and accessories.

For security, iQOO confirms that the Pad 6 Pro supports face unlock, offering quick access without requiring passwords or patterns.

In terms of size, the tablet measures 297.03 x 199.82 x 6.18mm and weighs around 663g, which is fairly slim for a device with such a large display and battery.

iQOO TWS 5i Launched Alongside: Budget Gaming-Focused Earbuds

Alongside the Pad 6 Pro, iQOO also introduced the iQOO TWS 5i true wireless earbuds. Despite their low pricing, iQOO is marketing them with features such as Monster Sound gaming audio, DeepX 3.0 stereo sound, and spatial audio support.

However, one major limitation is that the earbuds do not offer active noise cancellation, which is increasingly common even in affordable models. Instead, iQOO is relying on AI noise reduction to reduce background noise during voice calls.

iQOO TWS 5i Drivers, Codecs and Battery Claims

The iQOO TWS 5i earbuds feature 10mm dynamic drivers and support AAC, SBC, and LC3 codecs.

Connectivity is handled through Bluetooth 5.4, with a claimed range of up to 10 metres.

Battery life is one of the most aggressive claims here. iQOO states that the earbuds can deliver up to 11.5 hours of playback on a single charge, while the case extends total playback to up to 50 hours.

TechularZtrix Take

The iQOO Pad 6 Pro looks like a serious flagship Android tablet built for users who prioritize performance, large-screen productivity, and high-refresh entertainment.

With a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset, a large 13.2-inch 4K display, and a 144Hz refresh rate, iQOO is clearly targeting premium tablet buyers who want something closer to a high-end laptop experience without leaving the Android ecosystem.

Meanwhile, the iQOO TWS 5i earbuds offer strong battery claims and gaming-oriented sound features at an extremely low price, but the lack of ANC makes them more of a value option than a true premium audio accessory.

If iQOO expands availability outside China, the Pad 6 Pro could become one of the most competitive flagship Android tablets of 2026.
