What customers like about Honor Pad X8 Pro (6GB + 128GB)

  • Large 11.5-inch high-resolution display with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate
  • Excellent audio quality from a multi-speaker system (often noted as 6 or 8 speakers depending on region)
  • Premium feel with a slim, lightweight metal body design
  • Long-lasting 7250mAh battery capable of enduring full days of typical use

What customers don't like about Honor Pad X8 Pro (6GB + 128GB)

  • Snapdragon 685 processor is modest and can struggle with graphically intensive 3D gaming
  • Lack of a 3.5mm headphone jack requires adapters or Bluetooth for audio
  • Camera performance is average, with 5MP sensors that struggle in low light
  • No integrated fingerprint scanner; relies on less secure 2D face unlock or PIN
  • Charging speed is relatively slow compared to high-end tablets
  • No official IP rating for water or dust resistance

Verdict

The Honor Pad X8 Pro (6GB + 128GB) is a sleek 6.9mm-thin tablet featuring an 11.5-inch IPS LCD 'FullView' display with a 120Hz refresh rate and a 2000 x 1200 resolution. It is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 685 octa-core processor and a 7250mAh battery, running on MagicOS 7.1 based on Android 13. Key pros include its immersive six-speaker audio system, lightweight aluminum unibody design at 495g, and TÃœV Rheinland eye-care certifications for reduced blue light and flicker. However, it lacks a 3.5mm headphone jack, does not support GPS or cellular connectivity, and its 5MP front and rear cameras offer only basic photography and video call quality.
