The tablet market has never been as exciting and competitive as the mobile phone market. However, the VIVO Pad 2, the world’s first 12.1-inch 7:5 large-screen tablet, has changed the game. Although we don’t see as many tablets as mobile phones every year, the pandemic has led to a significant increase in the demand for large-screen devices.
Many Chinese brands have re-entered the tablet market, and despite the decrease in demand, some brands are still producing tablets. VIVO’s first major tablet product was the VIVO Pad, and the company’s follow-up, the VIVO Pad 2, is now available.
Design and Display
The VIVO Pad 2 has a custom 12.1-inch big screen with a 7:5 aspect ratio, which is larger than the 11-inch screen of its predecessor. The screen has been upgraded in every aspect, including resolution, color, and brightness, and supports HDR10+ certification. It has 1.07 billion colors, 600 nits of peak brightness, and 144 Hz e-sports-level high-brush smoothness.
The screen also supports self-developed natural light-like anti-fatigue brightness adjustment technology and carries the German Rheinland low blue light certification, making it ideal for prolonged tablet use. The screen area has increased by 27.3%, providing a PC-like experience to users.
Hardware
The VIVO Pad 2 has a Dimensity 9000 SoC that uses a 4nm tech, a CPU with eight cores, and a GPU core with ten cores that can run at a maximum frequency of 3.05 GHz. It also has a 10,000 mAh battery that can handle 44W of flash charging and can be fully charged in just 139 minutes. The tablet has 512GB of internal storage and up to 12GB of RAM.

Efficiency
The VIVO Pad 2 comes with a new self-created pointer, a smart touch console, and other accessories that enable effective office meetings and online learning. It has a big-screen ecosystem that is perfect for over 4,000 apps. The tablet also opens up the PC platform and allows for one-touch screen projection, one-touch file transfer, and one-touch task transfer, among other features. It also collaborates with WPS to address the issue of a subpar office experience on mobile platforms.
