Honor 90 & Honor Pax X8 succint specs
Since we are talking about getting the Honor Pad X8 for free or at a small fee when we purchase the Honor 90, you may need relevant information about both devices. Here are the brief specs of these devices
Honor 90
The Honor 90 has a 200MP camera, a top display, and a powerful processor. It has a 6.76-inch OLED display with a resolution of 2772 x 1344 pixels and a 90Hz refresh rate. The phone is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 Accelerated Edition processor and up to 12GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. The Honor 90 has a 200MP primary camera, a 5MP ultrawide camera, and a 2MP depth camera. It also has a 50MP front camera. The phone has a 4500mAh battery and supports 66W fast charging. This device runs on the latest HONOR MagicOS 7.1 on top of Android 13. The HONOR 90 also comes with smart features like Magic Text which intelligently recognises text on an image.
In terms of design, the Honor 90 have a distinct aesthetic evolution from their predecessors. The Honor 90 maintains the rounded hexagonal design for the cameras, which are now split into two islands. The back features a dual texture, lending a unique look to the device. On the display, Honor uses Deeply Reinforced Glass that offers protection against sudden falls and gives users some sort of confidence.
Honor Pad X8
The Honor Pad X8 is a budget tablet that offers a sharp screen, low price, and middling specs. It has a 10-inch screen with a resolution of 1920 x 1200, which is ideal for streaming and video calling. The tablet runs on MagicUI 6.1, which is based on Android 12. It is powered by a MediaTek MT8786 chipset with 4GB of RAM, which is not the most powerful package but does the job for general-purpose tasks. The tablet has a 5MP rear camera and a 2MP front camera, which is not the best for photography but is decent for video calls. The Honor Pad X8 has Wi-Fi 5, Bluetooth 5.1, and USB-C connectivity.
The Honor Pad X8 is a good tablet for general-purpose tasks like streaming movies or TV shows, checking emails, or writing text documents. It has a long-lasting battery that can last for a day or more, depending on usage. However, it is not suitable for intensive work processes or gaming, as it has a weak processor. The software is not great for people who jump between apps and tasks quickly. It is a good tablet for those who want a basic device for general-purpose tasks without spending too much money. However, there are other equally viable options on the market for those buyers too.
Conclusion
The Honor 90 is a decent device with good specifications but it will still have to compete with other viable options in the market. The Chinese mobile phone manufacturer is offering juicy deals for customers. You can save as much as 130 pounds for the Honor Pad X8 or even get it for free depending on the purchase option that you choose.
