iQOO is reportedly preparing a new gaming-focused tablet with a compact design, according to a recent leak. The rumoured device is expected to join the company's tablet portfolio later this year and could arrive with Qualcomm's next-generation flagship Snapdragon processor. Although most of its hardware specifications remain unknown, the tablet is tipped to target users who prefer a smaller form factor without compromising on performance. It is expected to debut during the second half of 2026.

If the rumour proves accurate, the tablet could compete with devices such as the Lenovo Legion Tab Gen 5, which features an 8.8-inch screen. However, the leak stops short of confirming whether iQOO's offering will use a panel of a similar size.

Another detail shared by the tipster suggests that Qualcomm's upcoming flagship mobile platform will power the tablet. The chipmaker is widely expected to unveil the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 family later this year.

Notably, previous leaks suggest that Qualcomm may introduce both the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 and the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro variants. The two chips are expected to be manufactured using a 4nm process and adopt a 2+3+3 CPU layout based on the latest Oryon architecture.

The tipster has not specified which version of the chipset will be used in the rumoured tablet. The device is said to arrive in the second half of 2026 and may be unveiled alongside the iQOO 16.
