Based on the available information, the Vivo Pad 3 (or potentially the iQOO Pad 2) seems to be positioned as an upper mid-range tablet, featuring a large display, capable processor, and a substantial battery. Although the company has yet to officially unveil any details, leaks are surfacing, indicating that a launch announcement from Vivo is imminent.
