Tablet · Honor · 2022
The Honor Pad 8 128GB is Honor's 2022 tablet featuring a 12.0 inches, 409.9 cm2 (~84.5% screen-to-body ratio) display, the Qualcomm SM6225 Snapdragon 680 4G (6 nm) chipset. It comes with a 7250 mAh battery. At AED 699 in the UAE and ₹15,499 in India, it sits firmly in the budget tier.
The Honor Pad 8 delivers a massive 12-inch LCD panel with 1200x2000 resolution and no high refresh rate, making it a compelling choice for extended media consumption. Its 7250 mAh battery sustains long viewing sessions, and the Snapdragon 680 handles basic multitasking without lag. Stylus support is absent, limiting creative workflows. The 520g weight feels substantial during prolonged handheld use, and the 5MP rear camera is purely decorative. Android 12 with Magic UI 6.1 offers clean navigation but lacks premium app optimizations. In UAE at AED 699, it’s worth it because no other 12-inch tablet under AED 800 offers this screen size and battery life. In India at ₹15499, it’s overpriced — rivals like the Xiaomi Pad 6 offer better performance, higher resolution, and faster charging at similar cost. This tablet thrives only as a dedicated screen for streaming or reading, not as a multipurpose tool.
