Vivo has shaken up India’s premium tablet market with the launch of the Vivo Pad 5E, offering flagship-grade specifications at an incredibly aggressive price point starting at just ₹25,000. This latest offering directly challenges Apple’s iPad and Samsung’s Galaxy Tab series with features typically reserved for devices costing twice as much.
Officially unveiled in China on October 13, 2025, the Vivo Pad 5E packs the powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 processor paired with up to 16GB LPDDR5X RAM and 512GB UFS 4.1 storage. This combination ensures smooth multitasking and lightning-fast app performance.
Display Excellence
The tablet features a stunning 12.1-inch IPS LCD display with 2.8K resolution (2800×1968 pixels) and an impressive 144Hz refresh rate—perfect for gaming and content consumption. With 900 nits peak brightness and a 240Hz touch sampling rate, the screen delivers buttery-smooth visuals and responsive interactions.
Vivo also offers a ‘Soft Light‘ variant with advanced eye protection technology for extended reading sessions.
Battery Beast
One of the Vivo Pad 5E’s standout features is its massive 10,000mAh battery, claiming up to 62 days of standby time. The 44W fast charging support ensures quick top-ups when needed. For intensive tasks, Vivo has integrated a 32,200mm² graphite cooling system to prevent thermal throttling during gaming or video streaming.
Productivity Powerhouse
Running Android 15 with OriginOS 5, the Pad 5E seamlessly integrates with Windows and macOS ecosystems. It supports AI-powered tools including Circle to Search, AI transcription, and wireless printing. The tablet includes specialized apps like CAJViewer for academic papers and PC-level WPS Office, making it ideal for students and professionals.
The four-speaker setup delivers immersive audio, while the 8MP rear camera handles document scanning efficiently. The 5MP front camera is optimized for video calls.
