iQOO Pad Pro 8.8 Gaming Tablet: 165Hz OLED, 9,020mAh Battery and China Sale From 28 October

iQOO's compact gaming tablet, the iQOO Pad Pro 8.8, was due to go on sale in China on 28 October, alongside the iQOO Neo 12 phone. It has an 8.8-inch OLED screen that runs at 165Hz, a 9,020mAh battery and a small cooling fan. iQOO had not shared a price when we last checked.

What iQOO has confirmed

The screen is an 8.8-inch OLED panel with a 165Hz refresh rate, small enough to hold in one hand. The battery is 9,020mAh. For cooling, iQOO uses its Ice Dome system with a 30 x 30 x 3.5mm active fan that runs at three speeds and a total heat-dissipation area of 23,253 sq mm. The tablet comes in an "Ice Blade Blue" finish.

What is only reported

Reports say the tablet uses the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 with iQOO's Q3 gaming chip, but iQOO has not confirmed the chip. The Pad Ultra, launched at the end of September, shares the same screen, battery and cooling according to reports, and differs mainly in its more powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 chip with the Q4 gaming chip. That points to the Pad Pro being the cheaper option.
