Vivo has recently launched two new tablets under the names the Vivo Pad SE and the Vivo Pad5 Pro. We have covered the latter already, so in this piece we are going to dive into everything about the Vivo Pad SE, including its features, specs, and what it might cost in Nepal.

Vivo Pad SE Overview

Design and Display

Vivo has designed the Pad SE with a sleek and slim look and a clean, single-tone back. It comes in the regular one, which is 6.8mm thick and weighs 559 grams, and another Soft Light Version, which is slightly thicker at 6.78mm and heavier at 569 grams. That second version includes a paper-like screen layer that cuts glare and makes reading way easier, perfect for students or long reading sessions.

Up front, Vivo fits a slightly smaller display compared to its other tablets. You get a 12.3-inch LCD panel with a 2,464 x 1,600 resolution and a wider-than-usual aspect ratio. Moreover, this screen supports a  90Hz refresh rate, sRGB color space, and hits up to 600 nits in brightness.

Performance and Battery

Inside, the Pad SE seems to run on a Qualcomm chip, and while Vivo hasn’t officially confirmed it, people online believe it’s the Snapdragon 4 Gen 2. This is paired with 6GB or 8GB of LPDDR4X RAM and 128GB or 256GB UFS 3.1 storage. On the software side, the device runs on Origin OS, which is smooth enough for everyday tasks.

Battery-wise, it has a decent 8,500mAh unit that charges at 15W. Vivo says it can stream videos for up to 8 hours straight, which should get most people through a day. There are 4 speakers onboard too, so the media should sound pretty full.

Camera and the Rest

In terms of optics, the tablet includes two 5MP cameras, one in the front and one in the back. It comes with a clip-on mirror attachment that turns your front camera into a document scanner.

Vivo Pad SE Features

You can scan your notes, assignments, and textbooks. Even better, the software does OCR (Optical Character Recognition) letting you tap any word for its definition using the built-in dictionary. You can also write notes on the scanned images or use them for practice tests. So yeah, definitely more useful for students than most entry-level tablets.
