Vivo clearly shows that it knows what it's doing. The Pad5 Pro is not just another "big phone without calls". This is a real cannon among tablets. The first of its kind with the Dimensity 9400 chipset, which was only speculation until recently, and now we have a device that literally flies with it. The results in the Geekbench benchmark? 2 points single-core, 721 in multi-core. And that speaks for itself.
But it's not just about performance. You've got a gorgeous 13-inch LCD display with 3.1K resolution and a 144Hz refresh rate. It's a feast for the eyes, whether you're watching movies, editing photos, or just scrolling through Instagram.
Battery life and charging? A pleasant surprise
The tablet houses a 12 mAh battery, and thanks to 050W fast charging, you don't have to worry about being "tied to the wall" more than necessary. In practice, this means that even if you use it to the fullest, you only take a break from charging occasionally. Plus, it weighs only 66 grams. For such a large device, it's more than friendly.

And then there's the Pad SE, a tablet that's not about extreme performance, but about practicality. The Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 may not sound like something that will shake up the world, but for everyday use it's perfectly adequate. It has a 12,3-inch display, blue light reduction, and a design that won't offend.
