Reviews for the Honor Pad X8a
Source: 91mobiles
While the tablet segment is fairly crowded now, there are only a handful of compelling options in the affordable category. Among the closest competitors for the Honor Pad X8a, the Redmi Pad SE (review) comes across as especially strong, considering that the two are priced similarly and are evenly matched in terms of the core specs too. The aspect where the Honor Pad X8a stands out is the software platform, which is more feature-rich and attuned better for large-screen usage. I think the fact that Honor bundles a decent cover along with its tablet works in its favour too However, the Redmi slate does have an 8GB RAM variant (priced higher at Rs 14,999), that could appeal to those looking to use their slate for running basic games etc. All said and done, for its asking price of Rs 12,999, the Honor Pad X8a is a worthy device that works well for those looking for an affordable tablet for multimedia usage.

Overall, we were satisfied with the Honor Pad X8a and can recommend it to students who want to use the tablet to read slides, do their school assignments or participate in video calls. And when you want to relax, you can enjoy movies with the large screen and experience clear audio from its four speakers. The performance leaves much to be desired, but that's expected for a tablet sold at this price. Our other complaint is the slow charging, which may or may not bother you, depending on how extensively you plan to use the tablet. If you want alternatives, here are a few entry-level options we recommend. One is the Samsung Galaxy Tab A9 (RM699), a lighter 2023 tablet with Samsung's One UI. It's a smaller tablet with a less impressive screen but better performance at a lower price. The second would be the realme Pad 2 (RM899), which has performance comparable to the Galaxy Tab A9 but with a larger 1.5K screen that has a 120Hz refresh rate.

It comes with a vibrant 90Hz display, impressive battery life, and a premium-feeling build. The addition of expandable storage up to 1TB is a notable plus for users needing more space. While it doesn’t stand out significantly from the competition in terms of specs, the HONOR Pad X8a is certainly a tablet worth considering if you’re looking for an affordable option.

As HONOR’s most affordable tablet in the Philippines, the Pad X8a ticks most of the basics one is looking for in a budget tablet. While HONOR could have opted for a better processor, the Pad X8a makes up for it with a great display and a premium build.

Only some 3D games with very low demands are playable with these cards.

This is a standard display format for tablet computers or small convertibles. You see more on the screen than on a smartphone but you can't use big resolutions well. On the other hand, mobility is not a problem.

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).
76%: 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.
