Honor Pad X9 – a new display “king” is in town
Design and Display
The Honor Pad X9 has a sleek and stylish design with a metal body that gives it a premium look and feel. It has an 11.5-inch HONOR FullView display with a resolution of 2000 x 1200 pixels. This device also supports an exceptional screen-to-body ratio of 86% for an optimum viewing experience. The display has a 16:10 aspect ratio and a pixel density of 274 PPI. According to Honor, this device comes with super slim bezels on all sides and this not only makes the tablet easy to hold but also gives users a seamless viewing experience.
Boasting an impressive HONOR FullView Display, it offers a superior entertainment and educational experience. The device not only comes with a host of smart features like automatic brightness adjustment, but it also has an elegant look. The HONOR Pad X9âs dual-mirror dual-ring deco design complements the tough contouring to produce a stylish form factor that has a thickness of only 6.9mm. With a weight of just 495g, this device is quite light for a tablet and should give users easy carriage on the go.Â
Performance & Battery life
The HONOR Pad X9 is powered by a Snapdragon 680 chipset, which is a mid-range processor. It has 4GB of RAM and up to 128GB of internal storage, which can be expanded up to 512 GB via a microSD card. The chip is a mid-range processor so its performance will not be as great as flagship chips. However, tablets usually place more emphasis on display and battery life rather than on performance. Apple’s CEO, Tim Cook in a 2015 interview said “For tablets, it’s about display and battery life”. So, the HONOR Pad X9 focus on display and battery life while watering down performance is nothing new.
The Honor Pad X9 has a massive 7250 mAh battery, which provides up to 12 hours of video playback and up to 10 hours of web browsing. The tablet also supports fast charging, which allows you to charge the battery quickly.

The all-new HONOR Pad X9 features six speakers to cover multiple directions. With a higher volume level and a deeper, richer bass, it offers users full-range stereo effects.
