Honor Pad 7: An affordable tablet with a 10.1-inch display and a mid-range MediaTek SoC

Honor has unveiled a new mid-range tablet, the Pad 7. As its name suggests, the Honor Pad 7 succeeds last year's Pad 6, upon which Honor has made multiple improvements.

The Honor Pad 7 retains its predecessor's 10.1-inch IPS display, which resolves at 1,920 x 1,080 pixels with an 80% screen-to-body ratio. However, the tablet features a MediaTek Helio G80 SoC, an improvement on the Kirin 710A SoC in the Honor Pad 6. Unfortunately, the Honor Pad 7 remains stuck on 4 GB of RAM, but there is now a 128 GB storage option.

Unsurprisingly, the Honor Pad 7 will ship with Android 10, rather than the newer Android 11. According to Gizmochina, Honor plans to release LTE models, although it will just be selling Wi-Fi only models at launch. The Honor Pad 7 will be orderable in China on March 26 from CNY 1,399 (~US$215). Meanwhile, the 128 GB edition will cost CNY 1,699 (~US$260). It is unknown if Honor plans to release the Pad 7 globally, though.
