With Android tablets making a comeback in the global market, it is probable that iQOO will be looking to launch these devices outside of China in the months ahead. If you are a fan of a quality display, raw speed, and a sizeable battery life, the iQOO Pad 5 and Pad 5 Pro should feature at the top of your wish list.
