iQOO's Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5-powered tablet confirmed with 165Hz OLED display

iQOO has confirmed that it will launch the Pad Pro in China in October 2026. Ahead of its launch, the company has shed light on several details about the device.
The iQOO Pad Pro is confirmed to sport an 8.8-inch OLED display with a 165Hz refresh rate and a 9,020mAh battery. The tablet measures 5.74mm thick and weighs 298 grams. For cooling, the Pad Pro uses a built-in fan measuring 30 × 30 × 3.5mm.
Notably, the previously launched iQOO Pad Ultra (curr. $1,190 on TradingShenzhen) also features an 8.8-inch 165Hz OLED screen, a 5.74mm-thick body, and the same battery capacity. However, one of the key differences between the tablets is the chipset. Unlike the Pad Ultra, which uses the newer Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 chipset, the Pad Pro uses the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset.
The iQOO Pad Pro is currently open for reservations in China, though an exact release date has yet to be revealed. Separately, iQOO will also launch the performance-oriented iQOO Neo 12 smartphone in October in China.
