Two new iQOO tablets come with flagship specs and big screens
The iQOO Pad 5 sports a 12.1-inch 2.8K LCD panel with a resolution of 2800×1968 pixels. The display hits up to 900 nits of peak brightness and refreshes at 144Hz — smooth enough for high-frame-rate gaming and fluid scrolling through long pages. Under the hood sits the MediaTek Dimensity 9300+ chipset, paired with up to 16GB of LPDDR5x RAM and up to 512GB of UFS 4.1 storage, delivering the kind of performance you would expect from a premium flagship device.
The iQOO Pad 5 Pro raises the bar further with a larger 13-inch 3.1K LCD that peaks at 1,200 nits — noticeably brighter and better suited for outdoor use. Its MediaTek Dimensity 9400+ processor is one of the most powerful mobile chipsets available, and the same high-speed memory and storage configuration carries over.
Both models ship with Android 15 running under iQOO's Origin OS 5 skin, Wi-Fi 7, and Bluetooth 5.4. The Pad 5 adds a six-speaker audio setup, making it a compelling pick for media consumption. For more devices from this brand, explore the full iQOO lineup.
iQOO Pad 5 and Pad 5 Pro: Battery, cameras, and pricing
Battery life is one of the headline stories here. The standard Pad 5 carries a 10,000mAh cell with 44W fast charging, while the Pad 5 Pro packs an even larger 12,050mAh battery supported by faster 66W charging — among the largest capacities in this screen-size category. Both configurations should comfortably last a full day of heavy use.
Camera hardware is functional rather than flagship. The Pad 5 comes with an 8MP rear shooter and a 5MP front camera. The Pad 5 Pro upgrades to a 13MP rear camera and an 8MP selfie lens, better suited for video calls and document scanning. The Pad 5 Pro is offered in Gray, Green, and Silver colorways.

Who should buy the iQOO Pad 5 or Pad 5 Pro?
The Pad 5 is aimed at users who want solid performance and a capable display without reaching for the top price tier. The Pad 5 Pro, with its brighter screen, more powerful chip, larger battery, and faster charging, is the better choice for professionals who rely on their tablet for sustained multitasking, long video sessions, or productivity on the go. Both tablets represent a strong value proposition given the hardware they deliver at their respective price points.
