Pad 9 Pro
The Honor Pad 9 Pro wins on display with its 12.1-inch screen versus the X8 Pro’s 11.5-inch (0.6 inch larger), higher 2560x1600 resolution (249 ppi vs 203 ppi), and sharper 16:10 aspect ratio, though neither has a high refresh rate or OLED panel. Artists and media consumers who need a larger canvas for drawing or watching films will prefer the 9 Pro, especially since it supports the Honor Pen stylus for precise input. Students or budget-focused buyers needing more storage without paying extra should choose the X8 Pro’s 512GB capacity and lighter 495g weight, despite its weaker Snapdragon 685 chip and smaller battery. In UAE at AED 1449 vs AED 1249, the 9 Pro is better because of its superior screen and stylus support; in India at ₹32999 vs ₹27999, the X8 Pro wins on value because the 512GB storage offset its lower performance and lack of stylus support.
