Just In Don't Miss In a packed launch event, vivo pulled back the curtain on several new devices, signaling a clear push to expand its ecosystem. While the spotlight largely stayed on the vivo X200 Ultra and X200s smartphones, the company also introduced two new tablets—the Pad5 Pro and Pad SE—alongside a new smartwatch, the vivo Watch 5. vivo Pad5 Pro: A Powerhouse Tablet with an Ultra-Light Option While the X200 Ultra grabbed headlines, the vivo Pad5 Pro quietly made a case for itself as a serious productivity machine.
Featuring a 13-inch 3.1K LCD with a 144Hz adaptive refresh rate, it’s clearly aimed at users who need smooth visuals for work or play. Powering the device is the Dimensity 9400+ chipset, paired with up to 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage.
Cooling is handled by a 40,060mm2 superconducting heat dissipation system, which should help maintain performance even under heavy workloads. The device sports a 13MP rear camera and an 8MP front-facing camera—practical additions for video conferencing. Backing it all is a 12,050mAh battery with 66W fast charging, promising long hours of use.
For those wanting something lighter, vivo offers an ultra-light version that trims the weight down to 578g and the thickness to 5.96mm—slightly slimmer and more portable than the standard edition. vivo Pad SE: Stripped-Down but Reliable The vivo Pad SE steps in as the more accessible option.
It features a 12.25-inch LCD display with a 2.5K resolution and a 90Hz adaptive refresh rate.
Powered by the Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 chip, it’s geared toward casual users who need a tablet for light productivity, media consumption, or online classes. There’s also a Soft Light Edition, which incorporates AG nano-texture technology for a gentler viewing experience, reducing glare for extended reading sessions. The cameras here are modest—5MP on both the front and back—but the 8500mAh battery offers long-lasting performance, with vivo claiming battery health can last reliably for up to 50 months.
vivo Watch 5: Smarter Health Tracking with AI Launched alongside these tablets and the flagship X200 Ultra, the vivo Watch 5 brings updated health tracking to the table. With a 1.43-inch AMOLED curved display and a stainless steel build, it balances style and function.
Running on Blue OS 2.0, it supports over 100 sports modes, plus professional coaching courses. A key addition this year is the AI Athletic Trainer, which offers personalized running plans.
Health monitoring gets a boost, too, with AI-powered blood pressure tracking, sleep analysis, heart rate monitoring, and stress tracking. Unlike its predecessor, the Watch 5 sticks to Bluetooth-only connectivity, with vivo opting to drop the eSIM variant. The battery life remains impressive, with vivo promising up to 22 days on a single charge depending on usage.
Pricing and Availability For the Chinese market, the Pad SE starts at 999 yuan (approx. USD 137 / ₹11,685), while the Pad5 Pro begins at 2999 yuan (approx. USD 410 / ₹35,080).
The ultra-light Pad5 Pro tops out at 4399 yuan (approx. USD 602 / ₹51,455). Meanwhile, the vivo Watch 5 is priced at 799 yuan (approx.
