Overview

The vivo Pad6 Pro is vivo’s 13.2-inch flagship tablet, launched in March 2026 for creative and office work. The available reviews are all Chinese, and none measured brightness or battery life. IT Home calls it a flagship “with sincere specs in every area”; Chaping finds it much more interesting than the Pad5 Pro, but not cheap.

The screen has almost the same area as the 13-inch iPad Pro. Its format, close to 3:2, is taller than the usual 16:10 and suits documents and sheet music. With 3840 × 2512 pixels (347 ppi), it is one of the sharpest large tablet screens. It runs at up to 144 Hz, uses flicker-free DC dimming and reaches 1,200 nits only in sunlight or HDR (vivo). This glossy LCD has grayish blacks (Chaping, PingWest), and Chaping finds almost no anti-reflective coating.

The Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 is one of the fastest chips of 2026 and stays cool in games (IT Home: at most 35 °C). It has 8 to 16 GB of RAM and up to 512 GB of storage, without microSD. The Chinese OriginOS 6 (Android 16) offers PC-style WPS Office and CapCut and a five-window desktop mode (12 GB models only). It has no Google services and no update policy; Widevine L1 (HD on Netflix) is not confirmed.

The Smart Touch Keyboard 6 Pro with touchpad (¥699) and the Pencil3 cost extra. vivo rates the 13,000 mAh battery at 12.6 hours of office work; a full 66 W charge took 83 minutes (IT Home). At 663 g and 6.18 mm it is light for its size, but too large to hold for games (Chaping, ifanr). It has eight speakers and USB-C 3.2, but no headphone jack or cellular version.

vivo lists it at ¥4,499 (8/256 GB, about €570) to ¥6,699 (16/512 GB). The iQOO Pad6 Pro (May 2026) is the same tablet in other colors. Both are sold only in China (vivo).

Performance

vivo Pad6 Pro: Performance

The vivo Pad6 Pro is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, released in 2025 and built on a 3 nm process. It is one of the fastest chips in any tablet: it handles everything, including heavy video editing, 3D work and the most demanding games. The same chip is used in the OnePlus Pad 4. Compared with other large tablets:

  • The Apple M5 in the Apple iPad Pro 13″ (M5) is about 40 % faster.
  • The Xiaomi XRING O3 in the Xiaomi Pad 9 Pro Max is about 10 % faster.
  • The vivo Pad6 Pro is about 20 % faster than the Samsung Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra and its MediaTek Dimensity 9400+.

Brightness

vivo Pad6 Pro: Maximum brightness

The screen of the vivo Pad6 Pro reaches 1,200 nits at its peak (HDR content only), which is very bright: the screen stays readable outdoors, even in direct sunlight.
