2025-06-03 20:37

The iQOO Pad2 is the first Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 tablet: the configuration was announced on May 20, and the price was announced on May 31. The 12.1 inch 144Hz 2.8K screen, six speakers, 10000mAh battery+44W fast charge, and the price starts from 2499 yuan (version 8+128).

PS: Everyone thought that the first Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 tablet would be vivo Pad3, but on March 26, only the vivo Pad3 Pro of Tianji 9300 came. Look at the current style, there may not be a vivo Pad3.

PSS: The naming numbers of vivo and iQOO tablets are one generation different, vivo Pad3 Pro and iQOO Pad2 Pro are the same generation, and vivo Pad2 and iQOO Pad are the same generation.


iQOO Pad2 Pro The corresponding is vivo Pad3 Pro, which is mainly upgraded to Tianji 9300+, the most powerful original god/star iron starter without any doubt:

13 inch 144Hz 3096x2064 LCD screen with peak brightness of 900 nits. 8 speakers (4 bass+4 treble), 8 megapixels at the front, 13 megapixels at the rear. 11500mAh battery+66W fast charge, with USB 5Gbps.

The iQOO Pad2 Pro's 8+256 version costs 3299 yuan, the 12+256 version costs 3599 yuan, and the 16+512 version costs 3999 yuan.

 

iQOO Pad2 It is a Snapdragon 8s Gen 3, and its peripheral specifications are close to those of Tianji 9000+iQOO Pad:

12.1 inch 144Hz 2800x1968 LCD screen with peak brightness of 600 nits.

6 speakers, 5 megapixel front+8 megapixel rear. 10000mAh battery+44W fast charge, with USB 5Gbps.

The 8+128 version of iQOO Pad2 is 2499 yuan, the 8+256 version is 2799 yuan, the 12+256 version is 3099 yuan, and the 12+512 version is 3399 yuan.

Their touch keyboards are all 599 yuan, and the iQOO Pencil Air stylus is 399 yuan (also compatible with the previous generation stylus).


Appearance&Workmanship&Hand&Outward

The 44W official head of iQOO Pad2 has been changed to the V4440L0A0-CN of Huizhou Jinhu OEM.

The specification is a little stronger. There are three gears: 15W (5V 3A, the previous generation is 10W), 18W (9V 2A) and 44W (11V 4A).


The iQOO Pad2 follows the design voice of the previous generation, with an integrated aluminum alloy body, no plastic bracket, the screen slightly higher than the frame, and the "round sky and place" family camera design.

The keyboard contacts are the same, but the positions are different.

Vivo clearly only needs to replace the core of the previous generation. When people think that old molds can be directly applied, There are minor changes in the size and details of this generation The keyboard contact is changed to the long side, but the USB port is still not centered. It really makes me cry.

The size of the iQOO Pad2 is slightly increased (except for the spiral micrometer of the yellow seal, no one should be able to perceive it), the radian of the back cover edge is softer, the size of the camera module is larger, the speaker holes are smaller, but the arrangement is wider, and even the positions of the two microphone holes on the right are different:

  • The iQOO Pad is 266.03 × 191.6 × 6.59mm and weighs 585g.

  • The iQOO Pad2 is 266.43x192x6.57mm and weighs 589.2g.

Due to the change of camera and contact position, the shell and keyboard of the previous generation cannot be used universally. Although tablet users rarely change it every year, they still hope that future accessories can be used universally, for environmental protection and for everyone's wallet.

 

The screen is still slightly higher than the middle frame, the edge radian becomes larger, and the grip is more comfortable.

The grip of iQOO Pad2 is between OPPO Pad2 and Xiaomi Tablet 6S Pro/Xiaomi Tablet 6 Max (Nonsense), because the former is round and the latter is higher than the screen+sharp edges and corners.

There is still no physical fingerprint, no vibration motor and no GPS, but USB 5Gbps is reserved.

 

6 speaker external , the layout is different from the previous generation. When placed horizontally, the bottom two should be bass units. The maximum volume of the iQOO Pad2 is slightly lower than that of the previous generation. The tuning is more balanced, and the high frequency part of the previous generation is pushed to the normal range.

The camera that nobody cares about on the tablet, the front 800W+rear 1300W of the previous generation, goes back to the front 5 million pixels (Gekewei GC05A2, F2.2), and focuses on 8 million pixels (Howell OV08D10, F2.0). Even if we cut off the rear camera, we won't care, but we hope that after the next time, we can move the price synchronously

 

Objective test: screen&performance&heating&endurance&charging

IQOO Pad2 professional mode color standard ↑


(In the screen test, the longer the brightness color bar, the better, and the shorter the color deviation color bar, the better)

IQOO Pad2 is 12.1 inch 144Hz, 2800x1968 LCD screen , peak brightness 600 nits.

The specifications, actual test results, and visual perception of iQOO Pad2 are very close to the previous generation of Tianma's exclusive screen, mainly because the color gamut coverage is more accurate now, and the color accuracy of professional mode is slightly stronger.

This is the three blue, green and orange flat-panel screens with the best performance among the peers. However, the weakness of the flat LCD screen is still the uniformity and visual angle. Even if it is better than the iPad, it will finally go to OLED. Harmful, LCD will never be a slave!

 

CPU performance test (for each column, the longer the color bar, the stronger it is)


GPU performance test (for each column, the longer the color bar, the stronger it is)


Flash memory read/write performance (the longer the color bar is for each column, the stronger it is)

IQOO Pad2 is Snapdragon 8s Gen 3, LPDDR5x memory+UFS 4.0 flash memory.

The actual scheduling is not as tough as the score running mode on the mobile phone However, the heat dissipation area of the tablet is here, and the continuous output capacity is not comparable to that of mobile phones (the heat removal capacity of this set of mold is close to 10W, and that of flagship mobile phones is generally 6-7W).

 

(room temperature 26 ℃, 200 nit screen brightness)

The maximum temperature of 3DMark toaster is 45 degrees, and the temperature control is relatively conservative. The heat is basically concentrated in the middle and upper part of the left long side, far away from the handheld area.

The stability of 3DMark Solar Bay is 63.5%, the stability of Wild Life Extreme Ulimited is 90%, and the stability of Wild Life Ulimited is 84.8% (we all know that the pressure of Solar Bay light pursuit test is very high, but we didn't expect to hold even the flat panel).

 

In the same environment, after 20 minutes of "Peace Elite" HDR+limited frames+anti aliasing, the maximum temperature is 37 degrees, 0.6 degrees lower than the previous generation, and there is no pressure.

 

(Endurance test: the test environment is 26 ℃ room temperature, 200 nit screen brightness, and the test power range is 30% to 80%. It includes 30 minutes of "Peace Elite" HDR HD+limit frames+anti aliasing, 30 minutes of 1080P video playback at station B, 30 minutes of short video on microblog, and 1 hour of Wi Fi surfing, a total of 2.5 hours)

Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 is equipped with 10000mAh battery, which makes the endurance performance of iQOO Pad2 significantly better than that of the previous generation , press the previous flat hammer.

Although the new M4 iPad Pro has significantly improved its endurance, the Android flagship tablet is still a bad brother.

(Although the CPU energy efficiency of the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 is not as good as that of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2/Gen 3, it is still significantly improved compared with the Tianji 9000. The daily heat is slower, and the game temperature is also a bit lower. In the case of small changes in the screen and other hardware specifications, the revenue on endurance is huge.).

 

(The charging test starts at 1%. The longer the color bar in the same line, the faster the speed is ↑. The vivo super fast charging mode/OPPO intelligent super fast charging/millet fast charging acceleration and low power fast charging and other functions have been turned on. Some manufacturers/models turn off relevant functions by default and need to turn them on manually)

The iQOO Pad2's 44W fast charge has a peak power of 34.9W, and the power waveform looks like a low-frequency PWM. Fixed the problem that the previous trickle time was too long. It took 1 hour to fill 33, The performance is normal, but still slower than that of the same generation of tablets.

Again, for 10000mAh, 65/66/67W fast charging is the starting line.

When charging, when standing vertically+facing the rear cover, there is a small area of slight heat in the 2/3 area of the lower right corner, and the charging IC should be below. The electric charging control is much, much more conservative than that of mobile phones, which may be due to the fact that many users will put the tablet in the nest for charging, so it is specially adjusted to be very conservative

 

parts

The keyboard cover of the previous generation of Vivo tablet has been relatively complete in terms of functions, such as the large-area glass touch pad, touch pad gestures, key layout, spacing and key cap size, and dual system shortcut keys are OK, but they are really too heavy.

So this generation of keyboard covers( IQOO Smart Touch Keyboard 2 )Our core task is to lose weight. Now it has been changed to a folded magnetic back cover, with a maximum support angle of 140 degrees. The workmanship has been slightly improved, and the weight has been significantly reduced to 440g, making the weight of the keyboard flat-panel package press down to 1029.2g.

PS: Because this generation has a Pro version with a larger screen, be careful not to buy the wrong keyboard.

 

IQOO Pencil Air stylus , it looks like the vivo Pencil 2/iQOO Pencil without the linear motor and the spare pen tip. It still has the PPT pointer function. The ink output is larger than the vivo Pencil 2, and the experience is weaker, but it is 100 yuan cheaper, so you can choose according to your needs.

The OriginOS 4 HD system on the tablet is more focused on the adaptation of stylus and touch pad than Xiaomi and OPPO. The application scope and effect of handwriting in the input box, cursor adsorption (although, until now, the stability of adsorption animation has not been solved) and other functional details are better.

 

summary

Vivo Pad2 is Ben's favorite tablet last year. With its foundation, iQOO Pad2's hardware and software performance are relatively stable. It's just that 44W charging is too environmentally friendly and has been dumped by friends.

Its core upgrade is The more powerful Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 has been replaced, and the daily fluency, gaming and endurance performance have been improved from generation to generation.

The 8+128 version of iQOO Pad2 is 2499 yuan, the 8+256 version is 2799 yuan, the 12+256 version is 3099 yuan, and the 12+512 version is 3399 yuan. In the first launch before the launch on June 7, there will be a protective cover and 80W flash charge package. If it is an educational discount, there will also be a stylus.

The Xiaomi tablet 6S Pro of Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 is now priced at 2479 yuan in the official store of JD 8+128.

Although the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2's GPU is stronger and the game performance is better, we still recommend iQOO Pad2 even if we don't take into account the first launch gifts due to the superposition of such factors as the middle frame shape/feel, system, peripheral accessories, screen quality/screen proportion, etc.

In terms of screen area, the iQOO Pad2's 12.1 inch 7:5 (equivalent to 2.8:2) screen is a little larger (the Xiaomi Tablet 6S Pro is 12.4 inch 3:2 screen), which is more suitable for viewing web pages, reading books and simple office work. Xiaomi is more suitable for iQiyi and Bilibili.

In terms of cost performance, the current iQOO Pad of Tianji 9000+, OPPO Pad 2 of Tianji 9000, and the official store of JD are all from 1899 yuan (8+128 versions), and the cost performance is even higher than many Snapdragon 870 tablets, Covered instant noodles are fast and hard
