It is said that now is an era of Internet of Everything, from mobile phones to tablets, watches, headphones, and brand products have a closer connection, and the interconnection experience between different devices has also greatly improved our efficiency.
vivo Pad
Creating their own ecology through all categories of products has become a major trend, and in such a volume of smart phone market, major manufacturers have also transferred the war from "mobile phones" to "tablets".
At present, mainstream mobile phone manufacturers have launched their own tablets, and vivo also officially launched the first tablet vivo Pad today. Officially, this is a product that took two years to polish, so we will take a look at the polishing results of vivo today.
Fully upgraded OriginOS HD
Tablets do not simply increase the size of the screen, because the large space brought by the large screen requires a new system to make full use of it. This time, the vivo Pad is equipped with a fully optimized OriginOS HD system. It is based on OriginOS and also has various adaptation optimizations for large screens.

Compared with traditional smartphones, the core of the tablet system is how to make good use of a large screen. This time, the full-screen multitasking gestures in the OriginOS HD system can be used regularly
After clicking an app, swipe up from the bottom of the screen with just three fingers to turn on split screen. When split screen is turned on, the system displays all apps on the right that support split screen, and the system can also give four recommended apps at the top. With the increase of usage time, OriginOS will gradually understand our needs and accurately recommend split-screen apps.
Of course, I personally prefer to open the second app directly from the bottom Dock bar. Just turn on "Slide up the desktop resident bar at the bottom of the app" in the "Settings - System Navigation", you can call out the bottom Dock bar at any time in the app by sliding up, so as to quickly open the app.
The Dock bar can hold up to 11 apps at the same time
After my actual tests, the Dock bar can place 11 apps at the same time. Of course, if you want to put more apps, you can also do it by forming different apps into folders, but from the perspective of daily usage scenarios, fixing 11 common apps is enough to meet our productivity needs.
On the basis of the split screen mode, we can also open another App through the "small window mode". Just drag the app in the bottom Dock bar and place it in the middle of the two apps to see the third app in the form of a small window for multitasking.
Split-screen multitasking from the bottom Dock bar
As can be seen from the above GIF, when multitasking from the bottom Dock bar, the third App can automatically determine "replace the split-screen App" or "open the small window" according to its position, and its UI design is also in line with our cognition, which greatly reduces our learning costs.
In my personal actual usage scenario, "split-screen multitasking from the bottom Dock bar" is used significantly more frequently than "three-finger swipe-up" because it is more "free". According to different scenarios, I can freely choose to open a small window or split screen operation in the full-screen page of a single application, and the Dock bar is fixed with apps that I use more frequently, which can basically meet my needs.
Parallel windows
In addition to split screens, OriginOS HD has also designed "parallel windows" for some applications, that is, displaying different levels of pages in two pieces within an application. After actual measurement, at present, mainstream apps such as Taobao, JD.com, and Today's Headlines are supported, and when these apps are used in the horizontal screen page, a more comfortable visual perception can be obtained.
Although vivo Pad is vivo's first tablet, from the experience of OriginOS HD, vivo Pad is still very complete in terms of software experience, and if you are a vivo mobile phone user, you can also enjoy the efficient new experience brought by the vivo ecosystem. Before the press conference, the official used "one touch on the incense" on the invitation letter, suggesting that vivo Pad supports the one-touch transmission function, and after the actual experience, I also found some new ways of playing vivo in interconnection.
One touch to the screen
Like other products, we only need to turn on the NFC of vivo mobile phones, and then move the phone close to the right side of the tablet, and we can operate the tablet and the mobile phone at the same time on one screen. And compared with other tablets, vivo Pad can also intelligently identify scenes and trigger different actions when touching the screen. For example, when editing text, you can insert the pictures of the mobile phone directly into the document, and the documents and pictures viewed by the mobile phone in full screen can be viewed directly using the tablet full screen by touching it.
Compared with the small window and split screen of the previous article, the learning cost of one touch and one transmission is obviously lower, and after the actual use, I think it has indeed achieved "one touch and incense".
Sincere hardware configuration
As the first tablet product under vivo, vivo Pad is also full of sincerity at the hardware level. It features an 11-inch, 2.5K resolution 120Hz screen on the front. In addition, such as 1 billion color display, P3 color gamut, etc., vivo Pad's screen also supports.

Vivo Pad's screen has also made a lot of efforts at the eye protection level. It supports adaptive color temperature adjustment, and the screen color temperature can be adjusted according to different environments. Moreover, this screen has also passed the highest level of eye protection certification of Rheinland, which can also ensure that the damage to the eyes of the screen is minimized after long-term use.
In the choice of processor, vivo Pad chose a more calm Snapdragon 870. This chip has been praised by many netizens as "a generation of gods U", in the Snapdragon flagship chip heat rising at the moment, Snapdragon 870 with strong performance and more calm performance, has been welcomed by more users. Moreover, thanks to the larger internal space, the heat dissipation ability of vivo Pad has also been further improved, even for heavy users, there is no need to worry about serious heat caused by caton. Of course, Snapdragon 870 is more to meet the productivity needs of the majority of users, in my current use scenarios, even if it is frequently divided screen, a touch transmission and other complex operations, vivo Pad will not appear Caton phenomenon, it can be seen that this Snapdragon 870 chip does achieve a stable experience.
In addition, this time we also got the vivo Pad smart touch keyboard, which has both functions such as screen protection and text input, and can also be used as a bracket to a certain extent.

Like other tablets, vivo Pad's touch keyboard is also fixed by magnetic force, just connect the bottom contacts to get started. However, unlike other keyboards, achieving support requires bending the top of the keyboard backwards, and you may need to get used to it for the first time. And you also need to be careful during the bending process, because the adsorption capacity of the touch keyboard is not as strong as imagined, one hand to support the vivo Pad, and then use the other hand to bend the back of the keyboard, it will be safer.

Compared with the floating magic control keyboard used by the iPad, the bending keyboard has higher requirements for the scene, and when it is placed on the leg, the support is obviously not as friendly as it is on the desktop. And if you have a suitable use case, the keyboard of vivo Pad can help you very well. Its moderate key range provides good input feedback, and with the trackpad at the bottom, it can also achieve a laptop-like operation experience.
vivo Pad + touch keyboard
Compared with traditional Bluetooth keyboards, the vivo Pad touch keyboard uses magnetic connection, which means that it does not need to be charged, and it can be used after fitting. And this keyboard can also provide a certain screen protection function, so if you have a certain text input needs, I will recommend that you buy it additionally.
It's a productivity tool and an entertainment tablet that's easy to use
The wonderful combination of Snapdragon 870+11-inch 120Hz large screen also makes vivo Pad a better entertainment tablet. At present, vivo Pad has adapted to the high-frame mode of mainstream mobile games such as "Glory of the King" and "Crossfire", and the official also said that in the future, it will continue to adapt to mobile games such as "Peace Elite" and "League of Legends", usually use vivo Pad to play mobile games, and can also get a more immersive game experience through 11-inch large screen and high frame rate mode.
Vivo Pad supports dual Dolby
If you like to use a tablet to watch movies, vivo Pad can also satisfy you. Vivo Pad will continue to support high-frame and high-quality content of mainstream video platforms, making full use of this 11-inch large screen. In addition, vivo Pad also supports Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos, with a wide frequency range brought by four speakers, it will also fully fill the entertainment capabilities.
Although the four speakers will occupy a certain amount of internal space, this does not affect the battery life performance of the vivo Pad. It has a large 8040mAh battery tucked into the 6.55mm thick fuselage and is equipped with a 44W flash charge, which not only ensures thin and portable, but also meets the needs of heavy users for battery life.
If you can use it for a long time, you must naturally achieve a burden-free experience. As a tablet with an 11-inch large screen, vivo Pad is also good at controlling the weight of the whole machine. It is made of a whole piece of aviation aluminum, and weighs only 489g, or even less than a pound. Whether it is a horizontal grip or a vertical grip, there will not be much of a burden. The only thing to note is that the vivo Pad's camera is located in the center of the landscape screen, while the power key is located at the top of the right side of the vertical screen, so when holding vertically and using the face to unlock, you also need to take care not to obscure the camera.

Whether it is from the early official advertising or with various productivity accessories, you can see that vivo actually recommends us to use this tablet horizontally. After all, the logo on its back and the double Dolby certification are designed for horizontal placement.
Write at the end
It can be seen that at present, major manufacturers have successively laid out their own ecology, and the category of "tablet computers" has naturally become an indispensable part of the ecology.
As vivo's first tablet product, vivo Pad's product positioning is clear enough. This is a product that can meet the needs of entertainment and productivity, it has an 11-inch 120Hz large screen, which can meet the needs of the majority of users to watch videos or play games. After connecting the vivo touch keyboard, with OriginOS HD, it can also meet the needs of lightweight office. In the era of "Internet of Everything", vivo Pad is an all-round product.
