The Honor Pad X8 Lite 128GB is Honor's 2023 tablet featuring a 9.7 inches, 272.8 cm2 (~71.4% screen-to-body ratio) display, the Mediatek MT8786 chipset. It comes with a 5100 mAh battery. At AED 399 in the UAE and ₹8,999 in India, it sits firmly in the budget tier.
The Honor Pad X8 Lite’s 9.7-inch LCD screen delivers a sharp 1280x800 resolution with a 16:10 aspect ratio, offering ample space for reading and light multitasking, though its 60Hz refresh rate and 156 ppi density feel dated. Powered by the Mediatek MT8786, it handles basic apps and streaming without lag, but struggles with demanding tasks. No stylus support limits creative use. At 460g, it’s heavy for prolonged one-handed use. The 5100 mAh battery lasts all day with moderate use, but the 5MP rear camera is barely functional. In UAE at AED 399, it’s worth it because it’s one of the few affordable 9.7-inch tablets with decent battery life and no cellular bloat. In India at ₹8999, it’s overpriced — rivals like the Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite offer similar screen size, lighter weight, and better software support for under ₹7500. Skip this in India unless no alternatives exist.
