Vivo Pad 5e Unveiled: 144Hz Android Slate Takes On Xiaomi Pad 7 Pro

Vivo’s latest Android tablet packs serious punch for the price. The Pad 5e arrives with a sharp, fast display, a huge battery, and generous memory options—making it a compelling pick for entertainment, gaming, and productivity.

Front and center is a 1,968 x 2,800 display that refreshes at 144 Hz for ultra-smooth scrolling and gameplay. With up to 900 nits of peak brightness, it stays visible in bright environments and brings HDR-ready content to life. Despite housing a substantial 10,000 mAh battery, the tablet weighs a manageable 584 g, striking a practical balance between endurance and portability.

The Pad 5e ships with OriginOS 5 out of the box. While it doesn’t launch on OriginOS 6, an update is expected down the line, which should bring new features and refinements once it rolls out.

Vivo is offering a wide range of configurations and colors to suit different needs and budgets. The entry model includes 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage at CNY 1,999 (around $280). Power users can step up to a version with 16 GB of RAM and 512 GB of storage for CNY 2,999 (about $420). There are five color options to choose from, giving the tablet a bit of personality beyond its spec sheet.
