Update: vivo has confirmed that the tablet will be available to order on August 14th, so the pricing should be available on that day. According to jd.com, the tablet will come in 8GB+128GB, 8GB+256GB, 12GB+256GB, and 12GB+512GB models.
Earlier: vivo introduced the vivo Pad 2, the company’s top-end tablet, earlier this year. Today, vivo’s vice president Jia Jingdong has started teasing the vivo Pad Air, a cheaper model, along with the images and the specifications of the tablet.
He said that the tablet has a light-weight design and will come with a large 11.5-inch 2.8K screen with DCI-P3 color gamut, 3:2 aspect ratio and 144Hz adaptive refresh rate. It also has eye protection function.
With high refresh screen and performance chips, games and entertainment are easy to control. It can be said that the vivo Pad Air has completely inherited the “audio-visual feast” gene of the vivo Pad2, he added.
It will come with four speakers with super large sound chambers and Super Audio Computed sound effects.
The tablet weighs just 530 grams, even though it has a large 8500mAh battery. It has 44W fast charging. The vivo Pad Air has an ultra-thin 6.67mm metal body and doesn’t attract fingerprints, and has a frosty finish.
It supports vivo Pencil2 for annotation and writing. The vivo Pad Air will run OriginOS 3 customized for tablets, allowing cross-device and cross-system collaboration between computers, mobile phones and vivo Pad Air.
The vivo Pad Air will come in free blue, brave pink, and easy silver colours. We still don’t have the RAM and storage versions, and the camera specs. The launch date should be available soon, since it is expected to be introduced later this August.
