The gaming tech world is buzzing with anticipation as iQOO prepares to unveil a powerhouse lineup. The brand is confirmed to be one of the first to launch a flagship smartphone powered by the cutting-edge Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6. But the excitement doesn't stop at phones—iQOO is also gearing up to release the Pad Ultra, a gaming tablet fueled by the same high-performance SoC.
A New "Pro-Level" Contender Emerges
According to reliable leaks from Digital Chat Station, iQOO has yet another tablet in the works. The company's product manager, Hui Huizi, has now shared the first official details of this device, which is shaping up to be a direct rival to the Lenovo Legion Tab Gen 5. You can follow her updates directly on her Weibo profile.
This new "Pro-level" iQOO tablet will also be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip. While Huizi didn't confirm whether it will feature an active cooler, she did reveal that the device will sport an 8.8-inch display. This compact size puts it in the same league as the high-end Pad Ultra and the Legion Tab Gen 5, making it a perfect portable gaming companion.
Enhanced Gaming Performance
Gamers can look forward to serious performance boosts, including the dedicated Q3 eSports chipset, which promises a buttery-smooth gaming experience. While other details are still under wraps, Digital Chat Station suggests the pricing will reflect the performance differences between this new model and the Pad Ultra.
Battery Life and Launch Date
In related news, iQOO has confirmed that the Pad Ultra will pack a massive 9,020mAh battery. This is larger than the battery in the RedMagic Astra 2 and practically identical to the Lenovo Tab Gen 5. For those looking to stay powered up on the go, accessories like a 45W Iniu mini 10k power bank (currently $29.68 on Amazon) could be a great companion. It's unclear if the other tablet will share the same capacity, but the good news is that the Chinese launch event is set for September 29, 2026—which is just around the corner.
Stay tuned as iQOO continues to push the boundaries of mobile gaming performance.
