More than a decade ago, most of the people chasing dramas and games were still through televisions and PCs, of course, some young people may use relatively mobile laptops, but with the advancement of technology, tablets have become a better choice for us to watch movies and entertainment in our free time. Of course, in recent years, consumers have also made a lot of ridicule about tablet products, such as the classic "buy before productivity buy after iQiyi", which is also the embarrassment faced by many tablet computers. But in fact, tablets have more lightweight and portable features than notebooks, and a larger screen than mobile phones, so in addition to entertainment purposes, tablets can actually cope with various mobile office scenarios. Today, Vivo finally officially launched the first tablet product vivo Pad, this long-polished flagship tablet in addition to the outstanding entertainment audio and video strength, but also fully can bear the use of productivity tools.
Stylish and thin design
First of all, in the color matching, vivo Pad has two colors of deep space gray and sky blue, which are suitable for family or business use; secondly, this product is an integrated metal fuselage, using a whole piece of aviation aluminum alloy material, the whole whether it looks or feels very textured, and the independent research and development of innovative resonator antenna hidden under the all-metal fuselage, taking into account the high strength and thin design also has a better signal performance.
Vivo Pad tablet
This time, we got a sky blue color scheme, which is very suitable for young users
With two speakers on the top, the product looks very thin from the side
Vivo Pad gives me the first impression is very thin and light atmosphere, the overall thickness is only 6.55mm, the weight is only 489g, can be regarded as the thinnest product of the same type of flat plate released this year (OPPO Pad thickness of 6.99mm, HUAWEI MatePad 10.4 thickness of 7.35mm). It is precisely because of such a thin and light design that even holding the vivo Pad in your hand for a long time is not very laborious, especially for the brush drama family who like to be in bed or on the sofa, it is very friendly, and it is also suitable for use in outdoor scenes. And even if it is an all-metal design, all angles of the flat plate are handled very well, and there are no uncomfortable situations such as hands.
Bottom Type-C interface with two speakers
The tablet has higher requirements for audio and video, so vivo is equipped with four-channel ultra-linear speakers for this tablet, two on the top and bottom, to achieve a large sound cavity, with a large amplitude of 0.7mm, and a wider audio range. Vivo Pad also supports adaptive Dolby Atmos, which can intelligently identify whether the tablet is in portrait or landscape orientation, and automatically adjust the left and right stereo outputs, so you can enjoy excellent sound effects no matter which state you hold the tablet. In terms of battery life, vivo Pad has a built-in 8040mAh battery and supports 44W flash charging, which can better facilitate us to brush dramas and play games for a long time.
11-inch high brush screen
The vivo Pad screen configuration has reached the flagship level, not only has a 16:10 ratio of 11-inch large screen, but also adopts the industry's top 2.5K 120hz high brush screen, with 1 billion color display and cinematic P3 wide color gamut, but also supports Dolby Vision and HDR10 high dynamic range. The flat screen adopts hardware-level anti-blue light design, which reduces the impact of blue light on vision, solves the problem of color cast, and can better protect our eyes.
Although as a tablet, the importance of the camera may be weaker than that of the mobile phone, but the vivo Pad is not oversimplified, still equipped with a dual camera combination of 13 million pixel main camera + 8 million pixel super lens, and the wide-angle main camera also supports 4K 30fps HD video shooting, with the flagship large screen viewing more clear and shocking.
Practical and convenient productivity tools
For games, dramas, and shopping, just having a tablet may be enough, but with the diversification of use scenarios, if it is to be used as a productivity tool, it is also a hard requirement for peripheral accessories of tablet computers, which is a major weakness of mainstream tablets on the market. For example, the most common external keyboard, most products only support the role of physical keyboard and support, in text input, typography, need to frequently switch between the screen and keyboard, efficiency improvement is very limited, even more troublesome than screen typing, it seems to have been able to meet office or business needs, but the actual use experience is still not satisfactory.
Vivo Pad also has a companion keyboard and stylus accessories that allow us to be more efficient in office and study
Therefore, due to the limitation of size space, many external keyboards supporting tablets have abandoned the trackpad. But this time vivo gave this vivo Pad keyboard a smart touch keyboard, which not only has a comfortable 64-key long key range, but also is equipped with an oversized trackpad.
The Smart Touch Keyboard transforms into a flat stand with a built-in precision hinge that folds at a 0-155° angle and hovers freely
5736m㎡ large touch area
Vivo Pad's smart touch keyboard is a very rare oversized touchpad in the same price on the market today, and the entire touchpad uses a whole piece of frosted glass, which is more textured and feel-like. It is worth mentioning that the Android system does not hold the ESC key natively, but this time vivo has increased the adaptation at the system level, and designed a separate ESC key for this keyboard, which can be shortcut to return or exit the operation.
Vivo Pad's external keyboard supports Fn function keys as well as multiple shortcut combinations
Use keyboard shortcuts to manipulate tablets
The reason why we need a keyboard, because in addition to the conventional typing, a variety of functional keys are also an important way to improve work efficiency, vivo Pad's smart touch keyboard has both shortcuts optimized for tablets such as return, application switching, etc., but also supports copy, paste, withdrawal and other familiar operations, the overall use of the keyboard and PC or laptop keyboard has been very close.
Familiar cursor arrows can also be displayed on the tablet
Full-featured trackpad experience
Basically, the trackpad operation that can be achieved by a laptop can be done, and this smart touch keyboard can also be completed. In addition to the basic two-finger swipe up and down page, two-finger zoom-in/zoom out of the page, there are more convenient touch functions, such as three-finger touchpad to return to the previous page, three-finger swipe up to the desktop, etc. In addition, most of the external Bluetooth keyboards of Android tablet products do not have a touchpad, so the selection of icons or projects needs to be done by touching the screen with the finger, and vivo Pad can simulate the cursor on the computer after matching the smart touch keyboard. By default, the flat panel appears as a dot trackpad cursor, but we can also switch to the arrow cursor that we are more familiar with from the settings menu. At the same time, when editing text, the cursor will automatically change to the style of "I", which is perfectly compatible with touch and traditional cursors.
Stylus
Vivo Pad's matching stylus adopts aluminum alloy pen body design, supports magnetic absorption and absorption, has a 4096-level pressure sensitivity, has a better simulation of the real writing experience, and also combines handwriting, text, voice and other diverse needs.
The stylus is smooth and smooth, and you can write notes on the tablet with a gentle stroke of the pen, writing is effortless, and the thickness of the handwriting will also change with the change of strength. The stylus comes with smart buttons, which can be switched to an eraser by pressing and holding in the notes that come with the tablet, and the other interfaces can be quickly taken by pressing and double-clicking, and the sliding can also select Chinese word, which is a very good experience.
Cross-screen interconnection at the touch
Split screen is not a problem
In the past, many tablet products were mostly an isolated system, even if the same Android system was used, it may only be to copy the UI and system on the mobile phone to the tablet with a larger screen, but it cannot be integrated with other electronic devices in our hands. Many times the operations completed on the mobile phone may have to be restarted on the tablet, and sometimes even need to spend a lot of effort to synchronize the relevant content, which may be a burden for many users.
In the Tablet Album/File App, you can view your phone albums/files across screens, making syncing and accessing more convenient and efficient
Fortunately, in recent years, major manufacturers have made great breakthroughs in interconnection technology, such as the OriginOS HD equipped with this vivo Pad tablet, which is deeply optimized for the Android tablet system, and multi-device collaboration really makes this tablet a productivity and creativity tool, because when we pick up vivo Pad anytime and anywhere, we can use other devices, such as mobile phones and tablets, or the content in the two devices is directly synchronized, and even achievable Touch cross-screen collaboration and break through the barriers of multiple devices.
Phone screen projection
with
The phone can be operated in reverse from the tablet
Vivo Pad adopts a self-developed screen projection protocol, optimizes the data transmission channel, and can directly control the mobile phone on the tablet and drag and drop files with each other. From the actual experience, in addition to the waiting time required for some operation steps when connecting for the first time, the connection is very fast and smooth. Also, whether it is sliding/operating on the phone or on the tablet, there is no feeling of delay.
One touch allows you to cast a screen
The NFC module is built into the upper right of the vivo Pad screen, and after completing the pairing connection, you only need to touch the upper right corner of the tablet with the mobile phone to transfer the mobile phone interface, the task in progress or the selected picture file to the tablet.
Images from your phone can be dragged and dropped directly into your notes without having to download or sync separately
In the actual use process, vivo Pad's interconnected screen projection function can really improve work efficiency, such as when the tablet is edited in atomic notes, the picture in the mobile phone can be directly dragged and inserted into the tablet document after the screen projection, at the same time, the selected picture of the mobile phone can also touch the automatic prompt "transfer file" or "insert picture to document".
In the workflow, mobile phones and tablets often have to cooperate with the processing, so the intercommunication of content information is essential, vivo Pad can not only achieve cross-screen synchronization of content, but also carry out cross-screen relay of tasks, notes, emails, and calendars that the mobile phone is processing, which can be synchronized on the tablet to facilitate our subsequent processing. At the same time, mobile phone calls can also be relayed, and the tablet can be directly answered hands-free.
Flagship performance plays more enjoyable games
In terms of performance configuration, vivo Pad is equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 chip, the core architecture is 1 Cortex-A77 super core with the highest frequency of 3.2GHz + 3 Cortex-A77 performance cores with the highest frequency of 2.4GHz + 4 Cortex-A55 efficacy cores with the highest frequency of 1.88GHz, and its performance has been verified in many products in the past two years.
In the running score test of AntuTu, vivo Pad has obtained more than 710,000+ good results, which is definitely the first echelon in the current new generation of Android tablets. In the storage read test, the sequential read speed of vivo Pad reached 1764.1MB/s, and the sequential write speed reached 765.7MB/s, which also performed quite well.
Snapdragon 870 with 120Hz high brush screen, the highest picture quality to play "Original God" is very smooth
For the "Original God" game with high performance requirements, when testing, our game was set to medium quality, running in 60 frame mode for 30 minutes, and after PerfDog performance test analysis, the average frame rate of vivo Pad was 56.2fps, the game process was very smooth, and there was no down-locked frame phenomenon throughout the process. Moreover, this tablet also has a double-layer large-area graphite heat sink, with a high thermal conductivity aviation aluminum alloy fuselage, you can safely open the highest performance of the game, and it is not hot to play for a long time.
