New Honor tablet tipped to launch with Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 and LPDDR5X RAM

Digital Chat Station has shared early details about what appears to be Honor's next upper mid-range tablet release. For context, the company released the MagicPad 3 in July before introducing the MagicPad 3 Pro a few months later. At around the same time, Honor also launched the Pad GT2 Pro as a smaller and more gaming-focused alternative to the MagicPad 3 series.

As the screenshot below shows, Digital Chat Station does not name the unreleased Honor tablet. Instead, they refer to its codename, Yongle. Nonetheless, the chipset in play indicates that 'Yongle' will replace the MagicPad 3 or the Pad GT2 Pro rather than the MagicPad 3 Pro. Specifically, Honor is said to have equipped 'Yongle' with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 that underpins the OnePlus 15R (curr. $699.99 on Amazon).

Moreover, Digital Chat Station claims that the tablet features LPDDR5X RAM with support for leather keyboard and active stylus accessories. The tablet's support for the former suggests that this is more likely a successor to the MagicPad 3 than the Pad GT2 Pro. A release date remains unknown for now though, as do other specifications at this stage like display size and battery information.
