The tablet does not include a stylus, a detachable keyboard, or a backlit keyboard, and it offers no water resistance rating. Tilt sensitivity is also absent, rounding out a design that prioritizes a clean, lightweight form factor over accessory bundling.
The Vivo Pad5e features a 12.1″ IPS LCD touchscreen with a resolution of 2800 x 1968 px and a pixel density of 283 ppi, paired with a 144Hz refresh rate for smooth on-screen motion. The display supports HDR10 and includes an anti-reflection coating, while HDR10+, Dolby Vision, and e-paper technology are not supported. It does not use branded damage-resistant glass or sapphire glass for screen protection.
The Vivo Pad5e is powered by a chipset built on a 4 nm semiconductor process, featuring an octa-core CPU configured at 1 x 3 GHz, 4 x 2.8 GHz, and 3 x 2 GHz using big.LITTLE technology, with a TDP of 12.5W and support for 64-bit processing. It comes with 16GB of RAM running at 4800 MHz, expandable to a maximum of 24GB, alongside 512GB of internal storage via eMMC 5.1, with no external memory slot available. Graphics are handled by an integrated Adreno 735 GPU clocked at 1100 MHz with 3 execution units, supporting DirectX 12, OpenGL 3.3, OpenGL ES 3.2, OpenVG 1.2, and OpenCL 2, capable of driving one display and delivering a maximum memory bandwidth of 64 GB/s. The chip also includes integrated LTE and ARM TrustZone security, with an L2 cache of 1 MB and an L3 cache of 8 MB. In Geekbench 6 testing, the device scores 2019 single-core and 5570 multi-core, and it runs Android 15 out of the box.
The Vivo Pad5e has an 8 MP rear camera built on a CMOS sensor, capable of recording video at 1080p and 30 fps, with support for slow-motion recording and continuous autofocus during video capture. It includes a single LED flash with a video light, and offers a range of manual controls including ISO, white balance, focus, and exposure, though manual shutter speed is not available. Touch autofocus and a built-in HDR mode are supported, while optical zoom, optical image stabilization, panorama, burst mode, HDR10 recording, Dolby Vision recording, and 3D capture are all absent. On the front, a 5 MP camera is available for video calls and selfies, though it does not have its own flash. The rear flash uses a single-LED setup without dual-tone or RGB configurations.
The Vivo Pad5e includes stereo speakers for built-in audio output, but does not have a 3.5 mm headphone jack or a radio tuner. On the wireless audio side, none of the advanced Bluetooth codec options are supported, including aptX, aptX HD, aptX Low Latency, aptX Adaptive, aptX Lossless, or LDAC.
The Vivo Pad5e is equipped with a 10000 mAh rechargeable battery that supports fast charging, and it includes a battery level indicator for monitoring charge status. The battery is not removable, and wireless charging is not supported.
The Vivo Pad5e connects wirelessly via Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax), with backward compatibility for Wi-Fi 5 and Wi-Fi 4, and uses Bluetooth 5.4, while cellular connectivity, 5G, NFC, GPS, Galileo, Ethernet, and HDMI output are all absent. Wired connectivity is handled through a USB Type-C port running at USB 3.2, with download and upload speeds listed at 10000 Mbits/s and 3500 Mbits/s respectively. On the software and features side, the tablet supports split-screen multitasking, picture-in-picture, dark mode, dynamic theming, theme customization, widgets, media picker, full-page screenshots, notification controls, customizable notifications, sharing intents, child lock, multi-user support, and the ability to play games while they download. Privacy options include location controls, camera and microphone access management, clipboard warnings, and app tracking blocking, though cross-site tracking blocking, Mail Privacy Protection, and Wi-Fi password sharing are not available. Sensors include a gyroscope and accelerometer, while a compass, barometer, infrared sensor, fingerprint scanner, iris scanner, and 3D facial recognition are not present. The device also supports on-device machine learning, offline voice recognition, voice commands, Live Text, an extra dim mode, app offloading, battery health check, and mobile device position tracking, but does not offer focus modes, Quick Start, direct OS vendor updates, or a built-in projector.
The Vivo Pad5e uses DDR5 memory and supports multithreading for handling multiple processing threads concurrently.
