£600 is a lot of money for a tablet. The slim Honor MagicPad 2, however, gives you a lot in return: It is one of the most affordable 12-inch tablets with an OLED display. Its 144 Hz refresh rate, 3K resolution, 8 speakers and speedy Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 complete the first-rate spec sheet. But how does it fare IRL? We took a closer look in our review.

With all other mid-range tablets featuring LCD panels, the OLED-toting MagicPad 2 has a distinct advantage in this area. The rich colors and excellent contrast of the OLED panel make the tablet a delight when it comes to streaming TV shows and movies, and with eight audio drivers in total, you get powerful built-in sound. The design itself is sleek considering the size of the tablet, and you get decent internals under the hood and great battery life. The only issue is that it will get a solitary software update, but even accounting for that, the MagicPad 2 is the best mid-range tablet around.

The Honor MagicPad 2 represents excellent value for what you pay for as it hosts an exceptionally vibrant and responsive 144Hz OLED display, a robust chassis reinforced by glass fibre, solid overall performance for work and productivity tasks and a bundled keyboard case as well as a stylus too. At RM2,799, the Honor MagicPad2 represents excellent value for what it offers with its luscious 144Hz OLED display, solid performance, modicum of AI capabilities and endurance with its bundled stylus and keyboard case further adding to its value proposition.

Even still, I’m ultimately impressed with the Magic Pad 2. Honor’s latest take on the Android tablet pairs powerful hardware with a tidy software package and looks really quite sublime while doing it. The AI features are handy but not overbearing, and I’m thankful Honor hasn’t found a reason to push a full generative AI chatbot into its products – not yet, at least. The only real downside is the lack of software support, which might make some think twice. If you want more longevity, the OnePlus Pad 2 goes for the same £500 and is set for three years of OS updates and four years of security patches. Otherwise, there’s very little to dislike about the Magic Pad 2; between the price and the performance, it’s a cracking bit of hardware.

The Honor Magic Pad 2 offers an impressive value-for-money proposition in the Android tablet market. Its 12.3-inch OLED display with 144Hz refresh rate is undoubtedly one of the best screens you’ll find in this price range, making it ideal for media consumption, gaming, and light productivity. The Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chipset and 12GB of RAM deliver smooth performance, ensuring that the tablet can handle multiple tasks without lag. While the lack of an IP rating and the absence of a trackpad in the keyboard case may limit its functionality for some users, the bundled Magic Pencil 3 and Smart Bluetooth Keyboard provide excellent value for those looking for a capable tablet at a reasonable price. Whether you’re a student, professional, or casual user, the Honor MagicPad 2 is a well-rounded option.

The Honor MagicPad 2 seems to be a jack of all trades. It's not cheap, but it brings a lot to the table too. The highlights are the gorgeous OLED screen and the amazing speakers. Additionally, the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 provides plenty of horsepower for productivity, multi-tasking and maybe even gaming. The attachable keyboard and the stylus pen are excellent additions that help turn the tablet into a productivity-oriented device. Battery life and fast charging are both reliable enough and the neat software features complement the tablet's previously mentioned capabilities. There's one thing we don't get, though, and that's the absence of a fingerprint reader. This is a big omission in our books.

There’s a lot to like about the Honor MagicPad 2. A sleek design hosts a gorgeous OLED display, supports accessories that add meaningful value to the user experience and packs plenty of power for everyday tasks, with a flair for media consumption. MagicOS 8 is brimming with features, boasts some genuinely useful AI-backed experiences and is great for file sharing, especially across the Honor ecosystem. Some rough edges on the UX and disappointing long-term software support are all that really hold the MagicPad 2 back from true tablet greatness. It’s still easy enough to recommend, considering the price.

The Honor MagicPad 2 is an excellent tablet in its price range. It performs well, offers a stunning screen, and boasts premium build quality, all for less than an equivalent Samsung or Apple tablet. Of course, you have to live in a region where it’s available to get it, but if you do and you’re looking for a flagship-level Android tablet at less than a flagship price, the Honor MagicPad 2 is the way to go.

This is a solid high-end tablet and I would recommend it to anyone. Honor seems to be going to war with the big boys in terms of design, quality, and pricing — so naturally there are options from both Apple and Samsung at the €599 (roughly $660) price point Honor has picked. Having used both an iPad Air and Honor's MagicPad 2 at home, and messed around with various Samsung Galaxy Tabs at trade shows, I genuinely prefer Honor's effort and could probably argue ways in which it can give an iPad Pro a run for its money. In summary, the display is beautiful, the speakers are superb, the office tools are class-leading, battery life is abundant, and the accessories enhance the experience — even if they do have their faults.

The Honor MagicPad 2 is a very serious contender in the flagship tablet market. It manages to do a lot of things right: it has a gorgeous OLED screen that can go up to 144Hz, the design is sleek and stylish, and the build quality is top-notch. The chipset inside is quite powerful, and even though it's not the regular 8 Gen 3, the "s" variant gets the job done. The software has some nice AI additions that won't leave you breathless, but what they'll do is help you get things actually done. The battery life is solid, and the price is competitive as well.

Honor’s MagicPad 2 navigates the Android tablet tribulations well to become one of the best slabs you can buy today — packing decent performance and battery life, alongside a mindblowing display and thoughtful AI smarts at a good price. Only real issue is there’s no getting around that disappointing lack of tablet apps in the face of the iPad.

The Honor MagicPad3 really stands out with its bright XXL screen, strong sound quality, and long battery life. That being said, the Android tablet market is really picking up speed in 2025. Read our review to find out whether the large MagicPad3 is worth its price compared to the strong competition.
Source: Techradar

The Honor MagicPad 3 delivers a luxury Android tablet experience without the high-end price tag. Its slim and lightweight design makes it easy to take on the go, perfect if you want to watch your favorite shows on its gorgeous 3.2K screen. Pair this portability with the well-designed keyboard case and you have a tablet that’s ideal for productivity too, especially when you factor in the incredible battery life. It’s somewhat undermined by the disappointing update support, though, with just one Android upgrade and two years of security patches planned.

Honor:
In 2014 Huawei created the sub brand Honor and offers certain smartphone series under this name. Occasionally the products are also called Huawei Honor.
The market share of Honor products is manageable, but there are several reviews on Honor smartphones with average ratings (as of 2016).
Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.
Qualcomm Adreno 735: Graphics chip for smartphones and tablets, integrated in the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 SoC.
Qualcomm Adreno 750: Graphics chip for smartphones and tablets that is integrated within the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC. Qualcomm claims that it is 25% faster than the Adreno 7340 in the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 and first benchmarks show that the GPU can beat the Apple A17 Pro iGPU.
