Worthy Budget Android Tablet? | Honor Pad 9 Review
Source: Tech Spurt English
Reviewing the Honor Pad 9, a budget Android tablet boasting a crispy 2.5k display, enough gaming grunt to run Genshin Impact and excellent battery life. For a budget under £300 the Honor Pad 9 is certainly a worthy iPad alternative - and one of the best for battery life at this price. Of course, there's a lot of competition as far as affordable tablets go in 2024. The OnePlus Pad, Xiaomi Pad etc are all strong rivals, but the Honor Pad 9 is absolutely worth considering with the current price deal. For one it can handle all of the games you might wanna play, Genshin Impact, PubG etc included. Battery life is another of the highlights of the Honor Pad 9. This Android tablet can stream video for over a dozen hours before it's drained, although there's no bundled adapter and recharging is super slow.

72% Honor Pad 9 WiFi review – Value Packed Budget Workhorse Tablet
Source: Hitech Century English
The Honor Pad 9 WiFi is a fantastic budget tablet that offers exceptional value. Not only do you get a keyboard case along with a stylus and charger, the tablet itself has a large and luscious display and sufficient performance for general paperwork. While it certainly isn’t the fastest, lightest or most powerful Android tablet, it offers a well rounded blend of features, performance and additional free kit at a very reasonable price point. The WiFi only version is great for students and those on a tight budget while mobile workers and those who need extra storage will appreciate the 5G capable version that costs just a bit more.

80% Honor Pad 9 review: affordable ace
Source: Stuff TV English
The Honor Pad 9 is an awful lot of tablet for your money. It has a great screen, very respectable performance, and sharp looks. It also adds a few user-friendly interface tweaks to Android. Battery life could be better, the cameras are basic at best, and I’d like Honor to commit to longer-term software updates – but there’s little else like it at this end of the price spectrum. That is, unless you’re looking to shop Apple. Sure, you won’t get nearly as much storage as you will with the Honor, but an 9th-gen iPad 10.2in will only set you back a little more. In my view, Apple’s far greater selection of tablet-optimised apps and games makes up for the smaller screen and last-gen styling.

80% HONOR Pad 9 Review: All the tablet you need… on a budget
Source: Android Headlines English
Should you get the HONOR Pad 9? In all honesty, if you want to get a tablet for multimedia consumption and general tablet use, and you don’t have the budget for a flagship, or don’t feel the need for it… this is a great option. Why? Well, even at its original price tag of €349.90 I’d argue it’s worth it, but at the time of writing this article, it’s available for €314, plus you get a keyboard case I mentioned for free. That’s the promo that HONOR runs through its official HiHONOR website in parts of Europe. That’s a great deal, to say the least. At that price tag, with the accessory, this tablet is very easy to recommend.

70% Honor Pad 9 Review: The affordable beauty
Source: Phone Arena English
The Honor Pad 9 is a solid tablet at a very good price. The major strengths of this slate are the 12.1-inch 120Hz display, which is bright and on par with more expensive models. Then we have the design: the all aluminum frame and back look gorgeous and project the impression of a much more expensive device. The speakers are also pretty nice, and you have the option to get a 12GB or 512GB model for not that much extra. On the flip side, the Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 is not the most powerful chipset out there. If you plan to swap your laptop and use the Honor Pad 9 for heavy and intensive productivity tasks, you might feel the slate struggle a bit. Then there's the charging, which is rather slow, and finally, no goodies such as a stylus or a cover/Bluetooth keyboard are included. But overall, the Honor Pad 9 is an impressive device for the price and could be the perfect home entertainment tablet for many people.

80% Honor Pad 9 review
Source: Tech Advisor English
The Pad 9 is a clear success for Honor, offering a flagship tablet experience for a fraction of its usual price. Its design, display, performance and speakers are all better than you’d expect from such an affordable slate. Even the software, something I’m not usually a fan of on Honor phones, is decent here. However, there’s uncertainty regarding when it’ll get the latest version of Android and how long Honor will provide software support. Even at launch, battery life and charging speeds aren’t as good as I’d expect them to be. Whether you buy this tablet will depend on how important those shortcomings are, but there’s no shortage of similarly-priced alternatives.

80% Honor Pad 9 Review
Source: Trusted Reviews English
The Honor Pad 9 is a great tablet made excellent at this price point. It’s got everything you could possibly need from a budget-friendly Android tablet, while also adding a sizable display with a sharp resolution. It is missing a number of features from more expensive offerings, such as a fingerprint reader and OLED screen technology. And while the performance was perfectly reasonable for basic tasks, the 10th Gen iPad and OnePlus Pad both proved to be faster in our benchmarks. That all said, it’s hard to grumble at the Honor Pad 9 at this price, as it’s cheaper than the competition. If you want a great all-round Android tablet at a reasonable price, it’s hard to find better value. But if you’d like to double check other offerings, then make sure to check out our Best Tablet and Best Cheap Tablet guides.

80% Honor Pad 9 review: Growing in an Apple-shaped shadow
Source: Expert Reviews English
If you’re open to using Apple products, it’s difficult to recommend the Honor Pad 9 when the 9th generation iPad can be picked up for just £19 more. The iPad’s performance is stronger across the board, and it makes for a better laptop replacement, with Apple’s superior tablet software and accessories offering a level of flexibility that Honor can’t match here. As far as big-screened Android tablets go, however, the Honor Pad 9 is near enough without equal. The Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 chipset delivers strong improvements to performance, the display is crisp and colour-accurate, and battery life, while a slight step down, isn’t bad enough to knock the Honor Pad 9 out of the running. If your budget doesn’t stretch to the likes of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 or the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra, the Honor Pad 9 is a terrific affordable alternative.

Qualcomm Adreno 710: Graphics chip for smartphones and tablets, integrated in the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 SoC. According to Qualcomm, 2x faster than the old Adreno 644 in the Snapdragon 7 Gen 1.

Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.

» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.


SD 6 Gen 1: Mid-range SoC with 8 Kryo cores (4x ARM Cortex A78 2.2 GHz performance cluster, 4x ARM Cortex A55 with 1.8 efficiency cluster) and an X62 5G modem (up to 2900 Mbps download). The chip is manufactured using the modern 4nm process.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.


12.10":

This range of display format is largely the upper limit for tablets and the lower limit for subnotebooks.

The advantage of subnotebooks is that the entire laptop can be small in size and therefore easily portable. The tiny display has the added advantage of requiring little power, which further improves battery life and thus mobility. The disadvantage is that reading texts is exhausting for the eyes. High resolutions, which one is used to from a standard laptop, are almost not usable.

The same applies to tablets in this size range.

» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.


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).


78.89%: This rating is not earth-shattering. This rating must actually be seen as average, since there are about as many devices with worse ratings as better ones. A purchase recommendation can only be seen with a lot of goodwill, unless it is about websites that generally rate strictly.
