Hands-on review · Entry-level tablet
Verdict
The HONOR Pad X8 is a basic, long-lasting tablet with 4G LTE, but its dim screen and weak chip suit only light social and casual use.

Third-party reviews

What customers like about Huawei Honor Pad X8 LTE (4GB + 64GB)

  • High-quality 10.1-inch Full HD display with clear visuals and crisp resolution
  • Slim, sleek, and lightweight design that is comfortable to hold
  • Strong battery life capable of lasting through a full day of typical use
  • Offers 4G LTE connectivity, which is rare in its entry-level price bracket
  • Good sound quality from dual speakers, suitable for streaming and video calls
  • Simple and straightforward setup process

What customers don't like about Huawei Honor Pad X8 LTE (4GB + 64GB)

  • Relatively weak processor (MediaTek MT8786) that struggles with gaming and intensive apps
  • Low internal storage (often 32GB or 64GB), though expandable via microSD
  • Disappointing camera performance, particularly the 2MP front and 5MP rear sensors
  • Lacks premium biometric features like a fingerprint scanner
  • Low screen brightness makes it difficult to use in direct sunlight
  • No 3.5mm headphone jack, requiring Bluetooth or a USB-C adapter

Verdict

The Huawei Honor Pad X8 LTE is a lightweight budget tablet featuring a 10.1-inch FullView IPS display with a 1920 x 1200 resolution and an 80% screen-to-body ratio. It is powered by a MediaTek MT8786 octa-core processor paired with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage, which is expandable via microSD up to 512GB. Key characteristics include a slim 7.55mm aluminum body weighing 460g, dual high-amplitude speakers with HONOR Histen sound tuning, and a 5100mAh battery. Main pros are its portable and premium-feeling design, crisp display with TÃœV Rheinland low blue light certification, and effective multi-window multitasking via Magic UI 6.1. However, notable cons include a relatively weak processor that struggles with intensive gaming, a lack of a 3.5mm headphone jack, and modest 5MP rear and 2MP front cameras that underperform in low light.
