Third-party reviews

What customers like about Honor Pad X8b

  • Four speakers give films and music a fuller sound.
  • The 10100 mAh battery suits long sessions of films and streaming.
  • The 90 Hz screen adjusts its refresh rate, which keeps scrolling smooth and saves power.
  • DCI-P3 colour gives pictures a rich look.
  • LDAC support lets wireless headphones play higher-quality sound.
  • Manual shutter speed gives more control over photos.

What customers don't like about Honor Pad X8b

  • 4 GB of RAM limits heavy multitasking.
  • There is no 3.5 mm headphone jack, so wired earphones need an adapter.
  • It has no water or dust rating, so keep it away from rain and sand.
  • Update support is medium, so software updates may stop sooner.

Verdict

Four speakers and a 90 Hz screen make the Honor Pad X8b a fun tablet for films and music. The 11 inch display is sharp at 1920×1200 and uses DCI-P3 colours, so pictures look rich. The 10100 mAh battery suits long films on the sofa, and the 6 nm chip keeps power use down. The screen adjusts its refresh rate to the content, which also saves power. Continuous autofocus in video and manual shutter speed in photos are useful extras for a tablet at this level. The trade-offs are 4 GB of RAM, which limits heavy multitasking, and no 3.5 mm headphone jack for wired earphones. It suits a viewer who streams at home most evenings and does not run many apps at once.
