The iQOO Pad Ultra is now out in China, and it arrived with the iQOO 16 phones. iQOO shared the tablet on September 29. The company positioned it as a chip-first, performance type of device. One hardware detail drew a lot of attention right away. It uses an air-cooling setup that looks less common on tablets.
Before launch, an iQOO Community update surfaced with real photos. That post also listed several spec points that were said to be tied to the Pad Ultra. One item stood out. There is a cooling fan inside the tablet. It does not depend only on passive cooling.
That same post claimed the fan can reach 14,000 RPM. It also said the airflow can reach 0.94 CFM. The fan size was listed as 30 × 30 × 3.5mm. Other coverage later mentioned a higher number. Some reports said up to 14,500 RPM. So the final number may differ a bit, depending on the source.
Active Fan Cooling in the Tablet
The active cooling system is the most noticeable part of the Pad Ultra layout. The iQOO Community post said the internal fan can spin up to 14,000 RPM. It was also described as capable of moving up to 0.94 CFM of air. You can also see cooling vents along the tablet sides. The fan dimensions were given as 30 × 30 × 3.5mm.
The goal is to pull heat away from the tablet when it is under heavy load. Still, the post did not include outside test data that proves how much the fan raises or stabilizes during long gaming sessions. So you should not treat the fan as a proven, measured boost in sustained play. Retail launch coverage also described the cooling design as a five-layer system.
iQOO Pad Ultra With Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 And Up To 16GB RAM
The iQOO Pad Ultra is said to run on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6. It also includes an Adreno 850 GPU. An iQOO Community post mentions up to 16GB RAM. The same post points to Android 17.
This is not just a rumor. iQOO and vivo reportedly confirmed before launch that the iQOO Pad Ultra would be one of the earliest devices to use the Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6.
The community post also shares Geekbench scores. It cites 1,512 points for single-core work. It lists 6,770 points for multi-core work. These numbers are presented as reported figures. The post itself is the stated source. There is no independent check in the text.
Display And Gaming Setup
The tablet is described as having a big screen with thin bezels. On the front, there is a punch-hole camera in the center. The post frames the larger display as helpful for gaming, streaming, and work tasks.
At launch, reports say it uses an 8.8-inch OLED panel. The panel supports a 165Hz refresh rate. The same launch coverage mentions 2304 by 1440 resolution. It also claims up to 165fps in some games.
The overall look stays focused but not flashy. The back is said to use one camera only. A ring-shaped LED flash sits around it. The front camera stays centered on the display.
Cameras And Colors
In the iQOO Community post, there is one rear camera placed inside a square camera block. Next to it sits a ring-style LED flash. On the front, the camera is centered in the small cutout in the screen.
The Pad Ultra comes in two color choices. These are Ender Black and Star Armour Silver. iQOO’s own promo images also show these same two finishes as part of the tablet’s look.
The camera setup does not seem to be the key selling point here. The tablet design looks more focused on the screen, the processor, and the cooling system.
Launch Update And What Was Not Verified Earlier
The iQOO Community post pointed to a China launch on September 29. That launch date is now confirmed by separate sources. iQOO rolled out the Pad Ultra in China on September 29. Retail listings also suggest sales begin on October 15.
The released unit also matches several points that were shared before launch. It includes the Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 chip. You get an 8.8-inch OLED screen. There is an active cooling setup. It also offers a 16GB RAM option. Two finishes are listed: Ender Black and Star Armour Silver.
Some parts from the earlier post still need a careful read. The Geekbench scores should be treated as reported numbers. They are not shown as independently tested results. The idea that the fan helps keep performance steady should also not be viewed as proof from sustained gaming tests.
Right now, the standout aspect is the tablet’s heat control design. The device uses a built-in fan that measures 30 × 30 × 3.5mm. Paired with the Snapdragon platform and a 165Hz OLED panel, the setup is meant for heavy use. The fan may grab the most attention, but the real question is how it affects long sessions. That will rely on tests that reflect everyday play.
