The Vivo Pad Air tablet is Vivo's latest Android slate, arriving with a headline-grabbing 144Hz display and a massive 8500mAh battery — making it one of the more capable mid-range tablets to come out of China this year. Here is everything you need to know about the Vivo Pad Air before it makes its way to wider markets.
Vivo Pad Air Tablet: Display, Design, and Performance
The Vivo Pad Air sports an 11.5-inch LCD panel with a 2.8K resolution and a smooth 144Hz refresh rate, which is ideal for gaming and streaming content. The chassis is built from metal, giving the device a premium feel despite its mid-range positioning. Weighing in at 530 grams, it is a solid but not unusually heavy slate for its screen size.
Under the hood, Vivo has fitted the Pad Air with the Snapdragon 870 processor, paired with an Adreno 550 GPU for graphics performance. The tablet ships with Android 13-based OriginOS 3 out of the box. Vivo launched the tablet in three colour options.
Battery, Audio, and Charging
One of the standout features of the Vivo Pad Air is its 8500mAh battery, which Vivo supports with 44W fast charging. That combination should keep the tablet running through long sessions of work or entertainment without frequent top-ups. The audio setup is equally impressive for the class, with a quad-speaker arrangement delivering a richer stereo soundstage than most similarly priced tablets.

Availability and What We Do Not Yet Know
Vivo launched the Pad Air initially in China. At the time of writing, the company has not announced a global or India release date. Vivo also has not disclosed detailed camera specifications or the RAM and storage configurations for the Pad Air — information that will likely emerge ahead of any wider launch. Pricing for markets outside China has not been confirmed either.
