Vivo just made it
official. The Pad6 Pro launched in China today alongside the
X300 Ultra and
X300s smartphones, and the full spec sheet is now confirmed. The leaked details were accurate — and the battery figure is even bigger than most expected.
Thirteen thousand milliamp hours. That's not a typo.
Key Points

13,000mAh Changes the Tablet Battery Conversation
Most flagship Android tablets ship with 8,000 to 10,000mAh cells. Vivo put 13,000mAh in the Pad6 Pro — that's a number that puts it in a completely different endurance category. A 13.2-inch 4K panel at 144Hz is genuinely power-hungry, and Vivo apparently decided to match the display ambition with battery capacity rather than compromise on screen-on time.
Real-world usage figures will be the proof, but the hardware foundation for exceptional battery life is clearly there.
The Full Spec Picture
Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 handles the processing — same chip going into flagship phones this cycle, with better thermal headroom in a tablet chassis. UFS 4.1 storage across all configurations keeps file transfers and app loading fast. The eight-speaker system is a serious audio setup for a tablet, covering stereo separation across a 13.2-inch screen properly.
Android 16 with OriginOS 6 on top is the software story — vivo's skin has been improving steadily, and a large-screen optimized interface matters more on a 13-inch panel than on a phone.
Pricing Makes Sense for What You're Getting
Six hundred and fifty dollars for the base 8/256GB gets you a 4K 144Hz tablet with a 13,000mAh battery and a flagship chip. That's competitive against the iPad Pro and Samsung Tab S series at equivalent specs. The top-end 16/512GB at $969 is where the premium positioning sits — still reasonable given the display and battery combination.
Purple, blue, and gray cover the color options. Available now in China, international availability unconfirmed.
