Honor Pad 9

Released Dec 6, 2023$249 launch priceTablet

A 12.1-inch 120Hz 2.5K panel, an eight-speaker array and an 8300mAh battery for around $249 is a lot of tablet. Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 keeps things merely adequate under load and MagicOS takes some cleaning up, but for video and browsing the value is very real.

Pros

  • Big 12.1-inch 2.5K 120Hz display
  • Eight speakers make it a superb video tablet
  • 8300mAh battery with 35W SuperCharge
  • Slim 6.96mm metal body for the money
  • Stylus and keyboard accessories available

Cons

  • Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 is a budget chip
  • No cellular option — Wi-Fi only everywhere
  • 500-nit LCD is dim outdoors
  • Pen and keyboard both cost extra
