iQOO could soon enter the compact tablet market with a new 8.8-inch model. The company has mainly focused on larger tablets so far. According to a new rumor from the source on Weibo, the tablet will target high-end compact devices. It could compete directly with the RedMagic Astra 2, which launched in June.
The rumored iQOO tablet is said to feature an 8.8-inch display with an “ultra-high” refresh rate. It will also have narrow bezels on all four sides. Beyond the display, the tablet could feature a metal frame for a more premium build. It is also expected to include a built-in cooling fan for better thermal control.
The device is rumored to use Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro chipset. This would put it firmly in the high-performance tablet segment. However, details about the tablet remain limited for now. Its launch date, battery, cameras, storage options, and pricing are still unknown.
If the rumor is accurate, iQOO could take on the growing market for smaller performance-focused tablets. More details should emerge as the device gets closer to launch.
