HONOR Pad 8 Launches In China With 2K Display And Snapdragon 680

HONOR has unveiled its latest tablet for the Chinese market, the Pad 8. The device is the successor to last year’s HONOR V7 tablet, complete with internal upgrades and a bigger display.

Encased in a metal body, the HONOR Pad 8 sports a 12-inch 2000×1200 IPS panel with a standard 60Hz refresh rate and a peak brightness of 350 nits. While it lacks any biometric sensor for unlocking or even a headphone jack, the tablet does boast a total of eight speakers with support for DTS:X Ultra.

Under the hood, the tablet runs on a Qualcomm Snapdragon 680 processor with 128GB of storage and an option of between 4GB, 6GB, or 8GB of RAM. Unfortunately, there is no bigger storage option and it also lacks a microSD slot for storage expansion.

On the software side, the Pad 8 is shipping with Magic UI 6.1 based on Android 12, with support for wireless screen projection together with Bluetooth 5.1 and dual-band Wi-Fi. There is a 5MP camera on both the front and back of the device, though neither sensors have image stabilisation.

The HONOR Pad 8 is equipped with a 7,250mAh battery that allows it to last for 22 hours for video playback and has a standby time of 59 days. The brand didn’t give the charging speed but states that it takes about 126 minutes, a little over two hours, to charge from empty to full.

Coming in three colours including Dawn Gold, Dawn Blue, and Mint Green, the base HONOR Pad 8 with 4GB of RAM and 128GB of storage is priced at CNY1,499 (~RM990). On the other hand, the variant with 6GB of RAM is also available for CNY1,799 (~RM1,180) while the spec’d-out unit with 8GB of RAM costs CNY1,999 (~RM1,320).
