Tablets are not dead; they’re just transforming! Honor, the Huawei sub-brand, is now eager to prove it through the launch of the Honor Pad V8 Pro, a tablet that stands out for its hardware capabilities. Honor presents the product as a “large-screen powerhouse” and a “super workbench.” It’s enough to take a peek at the specs to realize that the company is not bluffing at all!
The Honor Pad V8 Pro boasts a stunning 12.1-inch IPS LCD display featuring a resolution of 2560 x 1600 pixels and an impressive 10-bit color depth. With 100% DCI-P3 color gamut coverage, this tablet offers vivid, true-to-life colors, making it perfect for media consumption, gaming, and more. Additionally, its impressive 144Hz refresh rate ensures smooth and seamless visuals, making it a great choice for fast-paced activities. Overall, the Honor Pad V8 Pro’s display is sure to impress and provide an exceptional viewing experience.
Honor Pad V8 Pro comes equipped with Android 12 and Magic UI 7.0 out of the box.
The first tablet that sports a refresh rate of 144Hz
Honor Pad V8 Pro is the first tablet to be capable of a refresh rate of 144Hz, or at least that’s what the manufacturer says. If it’s true, that refresh rate is superior to the one offered by many flagship smartphones out there, which is amazing for a tablet.
The good news about the tablet’s capabilities is far from over!
Decent cameras for a tablet
Ready for some mediocre photos? Look no further than the standard 13MP f/2.0 camera on the back of this device. And for all your poorly lit, blurry self-portrait needs, we’ve got you covered with a 5MP f/2.2 front-facing camera with fixed focus. So go ahead, snap away and capture all the mediocre memories you desire. And who knows, with a little bit of editing and filtering magic, maybe you can even turn those subpar shots into Instagram-worthy material.
Jokes aside, for now! Even though those cameras are not too impressive, they’re still decent for a tablet.
Powered by a Dimensity 8100 chipset
But if you don’t care too much about the cameras and you are looking for a device that packs a punch, look no further than Pad V8 Pro, as it’s powered by the mighty Dimensity 8100 SoC, accompanied by a hefty 8GB of RAM and a generous 128GB of internal storage. And if that’s not enough, there are also options for the power-hungry among us, with 8GB/256GB and 12GB/256GB configurations available. In other words, this bad boy has more RAM and storage than your average bear. So go ahead, multitask to your heart’s content and store all the selfies, memes, and cat videos your heart desires. This device can handle it. You can even expect the Honor Pad V8 Pro tablet to be capable of running some interesting games, although you’ll most probably need something more powerful if you want to play the latest titles from the market.
When it comes to the GeekBench 5 test, the Snapdragon 888 surpasses the Dimensity 8100 for the single-core test. But in the multi-core test, the 8100 can win easily.
The prices start at a whopping CNY 2,599 ($375) for the 8GB/128GB option of the new Honor tablet. And if that’s not enough storage and RAM for you, there are also 8GB/256GB and 12GB/256GB options available for the low, low prices of CNY 2,899 ($420) and CNY 3,299 ($475), respectively. So go ahead, max out your credit card and treat yourself to the ultimate in tech. Your wallet (and bank account) may hate you, but your device will love you for it.
The new Honor tablet is already available for pre-order, which means that you already should be able to start the new year with one on your desk.
