Tablet · Vivo · 2023
The vivo Pad Air 128GB is Vivo's 2023 tablet featuring a 11.5 inches, 391.6 cm2 (~85.7% screen-to-body ratio) display, the Qualcomm SM8250-AC Snapdragon 870 5G (7 nm) chipset. It comes with a 8500 mAh battery. At AED 849 in the UAE and ₹18,999 in India, it sits firmly in the budget tier.
The vivo Pad Air shines with its 11.5-inch 144Hz IPS LCD display delivering smooth motion and vibrant 1B-color depth, paired with the Snapdragon 870 5G chip for responsive multitasking and light gaming. Its 3:2 aspect ratio and 500-nit brightness make it excellent for reading, note-taking, and media consumption without stylus support. At 530g, it’s heavier than most tablets, making prolonged one-handed use tiring. The 8500mAh battery lasts over two days with moderate use, but the lack of cellular and no stylus compatibility limit productivity workflows. In UAE at AED 849, it’s worth it because no other tablet under AED 1000 offers this screen quality and performance. In India at ₹18999, it’s overpriced—competitors like the Redmi Pad Pro offer similar specs with stylus support for less, making this a poor choice for Indian buyers seeking utility beyond entertainment.
