iQOO Pad 5e debuts with Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 and 10,000 mAh battery

iQOO has officially introduced the iQOO Pad 5e, adding another performance-focused device to its lineup for both gaming and productivity. The new model comes with the flagship Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 processor, a 12.1-inch 2.8K display, and a 10,000 mAh battery. The starting price is 1,999 yuan.

The company says the iQOO Pad 5e uses a three-dimensional cooling system covering 32,200 mm², designed to draw off heat even under heavy loads. On paper, that should help the tablet maintain stable performance not only in everyday use but also during extended gaming sessions.

The tablet borrows a suite of technologies from the iQOO 15 flagship smartphones, including a wide-range audio system and the proprietary Super Sub solution, which is presented as delivering more precise sound and minimizing latency in games. It’s a rare bit of trickle-down that makes sense for a device pitched to gamers.

There’s also a set of PC-level features: full support for the WPS Office suite, a multitasking mode, and the ability to keep multiple windows open at once. In practice, that mix makes the tablet feel equally at home for entertainment and for work.

Positioned as a versatile pick for users who value power, battery life, and multimedia capabilities without paying for premium-tier models, the iQOO Pad 5e aims for a balanced proposition. Sales are set to begin in the coming days.
