Tablet · Honor · 2022
The Honor Pad 8 256GB 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 799 in the UAE and ₹17,499 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 canvas for media consumption and light productivity. Its octa-core Snapdragon 680 chip handles multitasking and streaming smoothly, though it lacks stylus support, limiting creative use. The 7250 mAh battery lasts over 10 hours of video playback, a rare strength in this segment. At 520 grams, it’s heavy for prolonged handheld use, and the 5MP rear camera is purely decorative. In UAE at AED 799, it’s worth it because no other tablet under AED 900 offers this screen size with Android 12 and 256GB storage. In India at ₹17499, it’s overpriced—competing tablets like the Samsung Tab A9+ offer similar screens with better speakers and cellular options at lower cost. Skip if you need stylus or 5G.
