The Vivo Pad 5 Pro has a footprint of 289.6 x 198.3 mm and a thickness of just 6.6 mm, giving it a slim profile for a tablet of its size, while its weight of 635 g reflects its large-format build. The device does not include a stylus, a detachable keyboard, or backlit keyboard support, and tilt sensitivity is absent as well. Water resistance is not provided on this model.
The Vivo Pad 5 Pro features a 13″ IPS LCD touchscreen with a resolution of 3096 x 2064 pixels and a pixel density of 286 ppi, paired with a 144Hz refresh rate and a 480Hz touch sampling rate for responsive input. The display supports HDR10, but does not support HDR10+, Dolby Vision, or e-paper technology. Branded damage-resistant glass and sapphire glass are both absent from this panel.
The Vivo Pad 5 Pro is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9400 chipset, fabricated on a 3 nm process, with an 8-thread CPU configuration clocked at 1 x 3.63, 4 x 3.3, and 3 x 2.4 GHz using big.LITTLE and HMP technologies, alongside an Immortalis G925 GPU running at 1300 MHz. It comes with 16GB of RAM at 10667 MHz, expandable up to 24GB, and 512GB of internal storage, though no external memory slot is available. The SoC supports 64-bit processing, integrated LTE, and integrated graphics, and includes 12MB of L3 cache. Geekbench 6 scores stand at 2874 single-core and 8969 multi-core, and the tablet ships with Android 15.
The Vivo Pad 5 Pro includes a 13 MP rear camera capable of recording video at 2160 x 30 fps, supported by a single LED flash, a video light, touch autofocus, continuous autofocus during recording, and manual controls for focus, exposure, ISO, and white balance. The rear camera supports HDR mode and slow-motion video recording, but lacks optical zoom, optical image stabilization, a BSI sensor, a CMOS sensor, burst mode, panorama shooting, HDR10 recording, Dolby Vision recording, and 3D capture. An 8 MP front camera is present, though it does not have a front-facing flash, and manual shutter speed is unavailable on either camera.
The Vivo Pad 5 Pro is equipped with stereo speakers for built-in audio output, but does not include a 3.5 mm headphone jack or a radio. On the wireless audio side, the device lacks support for aptX, aptX HD, aptX Low Latency, aptX Adaptive, aptX Lossless, and LDAC codecs.
The Vivo Pad 5 Pro houses a 12050 mAh rechargeable battery with a battery level indicator, but it is non-removable and does not support fast charging or wireless charging.
The Vivo Pad 5 Pro connects wirelessly via Bluetooth 5.4 and Wi-Fi, and uses a USB 3.2 Type-C port for wired connectivity, though it lacks a cellular module, 5G support, NFC, HDMI output, and Ethernet. Sensors include a gyroscope, accelerometer, and compass, while biometric options such as a fingerprint scanner, iris scanner, and 3D facial recognition are all absent. On the software side, the device supports a broad range of features including on-device machine learning, offline voice recognition, voice commands, split screen, Picture-in-Picture, dark mode, dynamic theming, theme customization, widgets, media picker, full-page screenshots, customizable notifications, notification controls, app offloading, a child lock, multi-user support, battery health check, and position tracking. Privacy controls cover location, camera and microphone access, clipboard warnings, and app tracking blocking, though cross-site tracking blocking, Mail Privacy Protection, Wi-Fi password sharing, Quick Start, focus modes, and direct OS vendor updates are not available.
The Vivo Pad 5 Pro uses DDR5 memory and supports multithreading for handling concurrent processing tasks.
