vivo Pad3 with 12.1-inch 144 Hz display and 10,000 mAh battery introduced
Vivo introduced the Pad3 Pro in March with a Dimensity 9300 chipset. And as promised, the brand released the base model today. The vivo Pad3 is based on a Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chip with up to 12 GB of RAM and 512 GB of storage. It runs on OriginOS 4 based on Android 14. However, vivo did not say how many Android version upgrades are still to come.
The vivo Pad3 has a 12.1-inch 144 Hz LCD display with a resolution of 2,800 x 1,968 pixels. The aspect ratio is a comfortable 7:5 and the peak brightness is 600 nits. The panel also covers the DCI-P3 color space and supports HDR10 content with up to 1.07 billion colors. The screen also supports eye-friendly natural color temperature adjustment, fatigue-reducing brightness adjustment, and a senior-friendly color mode.
The camera setup is, as is typical for tablets, rather simple. The Vivo Pad3 has an 8-megapixel main camera on the back and a 5-megapixel selfie camera on the front. The entire package is powered by a 10,000 mAh battery that draws up to 44 watts of power via a USB-C port. Other highlights include a 6-speaker setup with 3D panoramic audio, a 3D heat dissipation system with a total heat dissipation area of 27,500 mm2, hardware ray tracing for gaming, and Vivo’s own BlueLM AI model.
