HONOR Pad X8b launched: Affordable tablet with 10,100 mAh battery and 90Hz eye-protection display.
The HONOR Pad X8b has just been launched in Saudi Arabia, featuring a large 10,100 mAh battery, an 11-inch 90Hz display, and a stable Snapdragon 680 chip.
HONOR has officially expanded its product portfolio by quietly launching a budget-friendly tablet called the HONOR Pad X8b. This device quickly attracted attention from the tech world thanks to its combination of a massive battery, a high-quality, eye-protecting display, and a slim, lightweight, and sophisticated design.
An 11-inch screen is optimized for visual experience and eye protection.
The HONOR Pad X8b features an 11-inch TFT LCD screen, providing ample display space for entertainment and office work. With a resolution of 1920 x 1200 pixels and a pixel density of 207ppi, the device ensures the necessary sharpness for reading text and watching high-quality videos. Notably, the 90Hz refresh rate is a valuable upgrade in the budget segment, making swiping, touching, and transitioning smoother.
In terms of visibility in various lighting environments, the device achieves a maximum brightness of 500 nits. The most notable feature of this screen is its TÜV Rheinland certification for reduced blue light and flicker-free display. This technology helps users minimize eye strain when using the device continuously for extended periods for studying or working.
Stable configuration with Snapdragon 680 chip and expandable storage.
Inside, the HONOR Pad X8b uses Qualcomm's Snapdragon 680 processor. This chip, manufactured using a 6nm process, is still highly regarded for its balance between performance and energy efficiency despite being released some time ago. It comes with 4GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage. For users with large data storage needs, the device supports a microSD card slot allowing for expansion up to 2TB.
The phone's camera system is designed to meet basic needs, featuring a 5-megapixel rear sensor with autofocus and a 5-megapixel front camera. This configuration is sufficient for online video calls or document scanning when needed.
A 10,100 mAh battery provides record-breaking standby time and a vibrant sound system.
One of the most impressive features of the HONOR Pad X8b is its 10,100mAh battery. According to the manufacturer, this battery can maintain a standby time of up to 97 days, a figure far superior to many competitors in the same segment. This makes the device an ideal companion for long trips without worrying too much about frequent charging.
In terms of software, the device runs MagicOS 10 based on Android 16. HONOR also integrates many AI-based smart features, parental controls, and child-friendly modes. The entertainment experience is enhanced with a 4-speaker system tuned by HONOR Sound technology, delivering immersive multi-dimensional sound.
