iQOO Pad Ultra: 8.8-inch 165Hz OLED and 4500 nits ahead of the Sept. 29 event

The iQOO Pad Ultra now has official display specs four days before the September 29 China event. The brand confirmed an 8.8-inch OLED with 165Hz, 2.65mm equal bezels, sub-1ms response, 4,500-nit local peak and 93.3% screen-to-body ratio.

What happened?

On September 25 iQOO posted the display poster for the iQOO Pad Ultra. The compact slate already had a name, about 298g weight, 5.74mm thickness and a shared stage with the iQOO 16 phone. The new headline is the panel: an 8.8-inch gaming OLED at 165Hz with high peak brightness.

At the Snapdragon Summit, vivo said the iQOO Pad Ultra is in the first wave of Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6, Qualcomm's 2nm top-tier chip. Cooling pairs a 30 x 30 x 3.5mm internal fan with a dual-layer vapor chamber. There are symmetric stereo speakers and dual X-axis linear motors.

Why it matters

8.8-inch Android slates are now their own category, the same cut as the Legion Tab. The iQOO Pad Ultra raises the ceiling with a next-gen chip, active cooling and a 165Hz OLED. A second Pro model with Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 is expected, pointing to two price tiers at the same screen size.

Official accessories include a two-sided gamepad and a clip-on grip case. Colors: Ender Black and Star Silver. Price and a global SKU are still unannounced.

What changes in practice

Anyone waiting for a small lap tablet for couch play has a date: September 29 at 19:00 China time, on the same stage as the iQOO 16. Battery, charging and memory still need a full sheet. Earlier reports mention a 9,000mAh-class pack, not confirmed in this spec drop.
