A tablet that despite being a mid-range economic has a fairly large screen of 11.5 inches and a metal body that make it look quite premium thanks to its measures of 267.3 x 167.4 x 6.9 mm with a weight of 495 g. Inside we find a Qualcomm Snapdragon 685 processor, an improved version of the Snapdragon 680 that is close to the Snapdragon 888 and above the Mediatek Dimensity 8000, so it has a very decent performance.
The Honor Pad X8 Pro also surprises us with its 6 speakers that are supported by an algorithm for voice enhancement. A pretty interesting tablet in its range with a very interesting price in China, although it will arrive in Europe a bit more expensive.
