Alongside its new flagship foldable, Vivo also launched its new tablet in China, the Pad 2. It’s the flagship offering from the brand that succeeds the original Pad launched in April 2022. So let’s get into the specs, features, availability, and expected price of the Vivo Pad 2 in Nepal.
Vivo Pad 2 Overview:
Design and Display
Pad 2 borrow has a similar design language as the first-gen Pad. It comes with an aluminum unibody chassis with squared-off edges and is available in Blue, Pink, and Grey color options. That said, the company has made the tablet thinner at 6.5mm versus 8.5mm on its predecessor.
It also comes with a bigger screen this time around, measuring at 12.1-inches. It’s an IPS LCD panel that has a 2.8K resolution and a 144Hz refresh rate. The display also supports HDR 10+ and has a display chip that helps protect your eyes from blue light.
But the highlight of the screen is its 7:5 aspect ratio, which is similar to the OnePlus Pad. Both brands claim that this aspect ratio offers a more natural experience when reading web pages and other content.
Additionally, Pad 2 features a self-developed simulation writing engine that provides users with real and tactile feedback; similar to what you would experience when writing with a pen or pencil on paper, says Vivo.

Accessories
Vivo has also introduced a couple of new accessories to boost your productivity. There’s a keyboard cover case and a second-generation stylus. The keyboard features a 1.3mm key travel distance and a large 6531 sq. mm trackpad. The stylus comes with two nibs, soft and hard, and can be magnetically attached to the side of the tablet.
Performance
The tablet is powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 9000 chip, which replaces the Snapdragon 870 in the Vivo Pad. The chip should offer superior performance, particularly for demanding tasks such as gaming. The SoC is paired with up to 12GB of LPDDR5 RAM and up to 512GB of UFS 3.1 internal storage. The tablet runs on OriginOS 3, which is based on Android 13.
Rest of the specs
The tablet has two cameras on the back, including a 13MP primary camera and a 2MP macro sensor. There is also an 8MP camera for selfies. The audio is taken care of by four full-range speakers and two tweeters that produce up to 6W of sound output. Last but not least, keeping things up and running is a 10000mAh battery that supports up to 44W charging.
