The HONOR Pad X9a starts at PHP 10,999 for the Wi-Fi-only model, with the bundle including a Bluetooth keyboard priced at PHP 11,999. This places it firmly in the entry-level tablet segment, where competition is fierce and compromises are expected. It’s not a tablet aiming to replace a laptop or rival flagship devices, but it excels for casual users and students. You get a sharp 2.5K display with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate, making reading, browsing, and watching videos a joy. The large 8300mAh battery offers excellent endurance, easily lasting a full day or more. The design is lightweight and sleek, comfortable for long sessions, and the quad speakers provide enjoyable audio for media playback. MagicOS 9 on Android 15 is clean, responsive, and bloat-free, while the Snapdragon 685 chipset handles everyday tasks reliably.

Qualcomm Adreno 610: Integrated (in the Snapdragon 665) graphics card based on the Adreno 600 architecture. The performance of the GPU is between the Adreno 510 and 512/612 and therefore in the lower mid range. Supports DirectX11_1, Vulkan 1.0, OpenCL 2.0, OpenGL ES 3.2.

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

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


SD 685: Fast mid-range ARM SoC with 8 CPU Kryo 265 cores (four fast 2.8 GHz ARM Cortex-A73 based cores in a cluster and four power saving ARM Cortex-A53 based cores at 1.9 GHz) and a rather slow Adreno 610 GPU. Manufactured in 6 nm and according to Qualcomm around 15% more CPU performance and 10% more GPU performance compared to the old SD680 (thanks to higher clock speeds).» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.


11.50":

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.

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).


90%: There are not very many models that are rated better. Most of the assessments are in percentage ranges below that. The tested product is not considered perfect, but the sources give a clear purchase recommendation.
