Excellent video dude, i bought 3 of these prior to discovering your channel today, they definately are high quality with great internals for the price for sure. Subbed
Hi, yes reflectivity is an issue, its just one of things that get worse the bigger the screen gets, but nothing that would deter me from it as it is very good value for money
I am stuck between choosing the Pad 8 or the Pad X9 because both have their own merits. The Pad 8 has a bigger and better screen and also comes with a charger. The Tab X9 is newer, has a faster cpu and the latest version of Android which should allow for more updates over the next two years. At the moment the Tab X9 is only £20 cheaper than the Tab 8 and that's little more than the price of a decent fast charger which I will have to buy separately so the relative price is basically the same. I will be using the tablet mainly for browsing, chatting and streaming live sports and watching programs but am not particularly bothered about gaming. I am leaning more towards the Tab X9 because it is the newer model but am concerned about how the sound works in portrait given that it only has speakers on 3 sides, which means that the right side in portrait doesn't have speakers. Is this an issue or barely noticeable? Also, when in split screen mode in landscape, which i would sometimes use to watch a sport and use a chat app at the same time how does the keyboard work? Does it stay within the chat app part or will it still take up the full width of the tablet? Btw, I really like your reviews, very precise and informative. Got thumbs up and subscribed from me!
Thank you so much for the kind words! 🙏 I'm thrilled you enjoyed the review, and I totally agree HONOR/Huawei products never cease to impress! I’m working on another HONOR product review at the moment too 👍🏽
The only thing I want to ask about this tablet can you make the icons bigger so you can see the icons can you make the writing bigger on there as well can you let me know..
I have an old Samsung A6 tablet from 2006 I use it mostly for a app that allows me to use to view a camera as a baby monitor. The Samsung is old now doesn't get any updates and I am after one with the same size battery and more secure would this be a perfect replacement
Hi, it sounds like for your use case the Pad X9 will suffice. HONOR state that the Pad X9 will receive regular quarterly security patches and I believe at least 1 OS upgrade. Hope this helps answer your query
Hello, while I haven't personally used the Lenovo P11, it seems to have some advantages over the X9. The P11 appears to have a slightly better processor on paper, higher MP cameras, improved WiFi with WiFi 6e support, as well as sim and SD card support. However, it's essential to consider real-world usage to make a final decision. Based solely on the spec sheet and price, I would lean slightly towards the P11
Would you recommend to buy the Honor Pad 8 or the X9 for media consumption? The Pad 8 has larger IPS display, but lower refresh rate. The X9 has smaller and possible worse TFT display but higher refresh rate 120Hz. Is one better than the other in screen, speakers or anything else?
Hi, I don’t have any personal use of the Pad 8 but for media consumption, I think there are certain trade offs on each side and you would have decide which trade off you are willing to accept. The TFT panel on Pad X9 is not bad at all in my opinion with slight shifting in viewing angles. And 0.5 inches difference in size is marginal. X9 also has slightly higher PPI. Personally the X9 was a very good tablet for media consumption
I bought the X9 and it's and amazing tablet. Speakers, screen, battery life, software everything is mind blowing at this price range. I don't understand how can they make it this good at £149
Just as an aside while the review was awesome and it was nice that you provided the specs. Using White font on a light grey background really makes it hard to see what you wrote
Thank you, I am glad you enjoyed the review and thanks for pointing that out, for future videos I will consider using a darker background to make the text more legible 👍
The tablet is really good for the money, has a great display for indoor, good audio, runs smooth and can handle a bit of multitasking very well. The CPU is strong enought for simple tasks of everyday life for common users, and let the battery last long, at least 7 hours. It's a mess that the Honor Launcher, even if has many good things quite usefull in a tablet, lacks of many usefull features, is ugly and has a poor and limited personalization, but it runs very fast.
This is a great review of the HONOR Pad X9. Thanks very much. The camera isn't the best but it's not meant to be at this price. Still feeling a little tempted by it here....🤔
Thank you for fantastic review 👏👏👏the best I ever seen on UA-cam. You got my subscription! By the way, do you know whether Honor started to sell Honor Magicpad 13? And if so, how much? Thanks
Thank you so much for your kind words and for subscribing! I'm glad that you enjoyed my review. As for the Honor Magicpad 13, as far as I am aware it has only been released in select markets such as China, unfortunately it is not available in the UK at the moment.
Hi i like your review for this tablet but i have a question . Dose it supporting some High quality games like genshin impact whitout crashing or lagging ?
Mmm tbh it's not made for high end games, so it's gonna give u up to 30 fps (unstable performance) for Genshin impact! Lite and med games would be a thrill on this pad for sure❤.
While both tablets are very closely matched specs wise, for me the HONOR Pad X9 was the better tablet. It would be best to compare the specs to decide for yourself, examples are that the Redmi Pad SE had additions such as SD card slot. But Pad X9 has 120hz screen, 6 speakers etc
What would be your recommendation, X9 or Xiaomi Pad SE. I would primarily use it for manga, anime, playing some games and browsing the web? Also whats your opinion on SD cards. For example for downloading manga or files on it, are they reliable? Thanks in advance.
I preferred the Pad X9 between those two tablets, but they are very similarly matched specs wise, but for me the X9 was slightly better. I think for the use cases you listed it would work fine, especially as a media consumption device it is really nice
Looking for a cheap tablet with a good screen to put on a treadmill, don’t care much for performance. Do you have any suggestions? Or is this the best screen for the price?
Hi, I’m looking at getting my daughter one of these for Christmas, she’s into playing Roblox games, watching movies, Netflix, just loads of games to be honest, would u say this would be suitable? She has the Lenovo M10 at the moment but the storage is RUBBISH. & she filled it with games in about 2 weeks. Thanks
Hi Jenna, thank you for watching, sounds like she’s an avid gamer lol. The Pad X9 comes with 128GB of internal storage only (no sd card expansion!) so it all depends on how many games she downloads and how big they are. Something like Genshin Impact runs around 20GB usually, so large file sized games will fill up the storage quite quickly. Just have to be mindful of the limited storage in the end. For everything else, watching movies & Netflix the tablet is a delight, the 6 speakers make it very immersive and the display too 👍 hope that answers your question
No worries, yeah that wouldn’t be a problem. But again comes down to if you’re downloading SD or HD, as HD movies will take up a lot more storage (stating the obvious lol)
Should I get this one x9 or Pad 8? Both are similar in price here. I'm looking for a better display for media consumption and to read e books. Users say Pad 8 display doesn't look sharp enough if u look too closely due to big display. I want to know if its the same case here with x9???
Hi, the HONOR Pad X9 has a higher PPI of 203 whereas the Pad 8 is 194 PPI, me personally, I didn’t really look at it very close like that but it seems sharp enough at normal distance, and Pad X9 also has higher refresh rate of 120Hz vs 60Hz and can get slightly brighter at 400 nits vs 350 on the Pad 8, do between them the X9 has the better display and would be more suited for you media consumption and ebooks
HONOR claims “built-in 7250mAh battery supports about 13 hours of local video playback with a full charge”. With my use, mixed, I managed around 10 hours
I would say the Honor Pad X9 has the slightly better display mainly because it has 120Hz versus 90Hz on Pad SE, and is 0.5 inches bigger. Everything else is pretty much very similar. Both a decent displays
I know right, HONOR themselves have listed the screen as “TFT LCD (IPS)” however other websites have listed as TFT. The screen itself to me resembles more of an IPS display
Hi i just got my one today and my only issue is i cant set any of youtube videos to play in 4k quality. Maximum i can see is 1080p. Is there any way to play videos in higher resolution than 1080p on youtube app? I have tried youtube revanced too but no luck despite setting default resolution to 4k
Hi, unfortunately for me it was the same, 1080p is the highest playback on UA-cam, which I believe is due to compatibility of the device. I’m not aware of any other workarounds that would allow it to work…unless someone else can provide some information..
Glad you enjoyed, I think it would be fine at handling PowerPoint and word documents, the snapdragon 685, although a low end chip, would be capable of such tasks, scores respectably on benchmarking for a low end chip
Hi, I didn’t notice any dimming so to speak, however with a peak brightness of 400 nits there was reflectivity issues and it direct sunlight the screen was not very visible, but just generally outside it is fine and legible
Claimed is “13 hours of video playback on full charge” I got around 9/10 with my use on full charge, but this included watching videos, heavy benchmarking, playing games, web browsing etc.
Hey, hmm not sure why it would be running bad. Maybe try restarting the tablet and then trying? Or try turning on ‘performance mode’ under the battery settings and then playing
Glad you enjoyed. I believe there isn’t a ‘dedicated’ stylus for this tablet, but if you look around you can find some that may work with it. I believe Huawei sell one on AliExpress
I bought it for 150€. Super deal. I still waiting the delivery. But i’m worry about two things: first one i need a keyboard so anyone can tell me if the one on aliexpress for like 35 bucks is fine? If not link me one please. 2 thing is they sell this tablet with 2k display but it in fact is 1080p so wtf???
That is a good deal! You’re right on the 2k being slightly misleading as true 2k is mainly 2560 x 1440. But as this tablet is 2000 x 1200, which is slightly higher than 1080p they have decided to market it as 2k
Hi, the tablet itself has ‘Location Services” however I can not explicitly state if the tablet has a GPS chip as it is not listed on the official spec sheet of the tablet on HONOR’s UK website. Some other websites do have the tablet listed with GPS…
Hi, the regular version (the one I have reviewed) does not have GPS, however I believe there is a LTE version (not available in the UK as far as I can see) that does have a GPS chip
Hi, to be honest as far as I am aware all the budget tablets have very similar specs, having palm rejection pushes up price a little. Check out my Lenovo Tab P12 review, that’s priced at around £330, quite good for productive use and comes with a stylus too
Hey, my bad, an oversight from me, will definitely include in future videos. In the case of the Pad X9 the company promises 2 years of major updates and 3 years of security updates.
Down side points are no headphone socket, no card slot, no plug and hard to navigate through where your missing the 3 little boxes at the bottom. £160 in Argos.
Those are definitely down sides, you can change the gesture based navigation to the classic three- key navigation by going to Settings> System & Updates> System Navigation and selecting three-key navigation
@@typicaltechlad yup..seems a lot of people reported same thing. I have to tap screen regularly watching Netflix. Prime video etc to stop it sleeping after a short time.
Hello, this tablet would be okay as it is £250 euros I believe. It has good multi tasking/split screen functionality and also good connectivity abilities. But you may look around at other tablets under 300 to see what fits your needs best
Hi, unfortunately not as it doesn’t have a ‘stylus dedicated’ screen, leaning your palm on the screen will register as input, but depends on how still your palm stays lol
@@typicaltechlad oh no... Do you know a good tablet with a similar price that has palm rejection? I'm looking for it with palm rejection for university
@@typicaltechlad the German honor support wrote me the opposite. I've bought it in the meantime and can confirm that it supports widevine L1. Thanks a lot
Hi, it has HONOR Connect which allows you to “screen share between phone and tablet, you can drag images and videos seamlessly between devices” and Message Share “receive messages from your phone on the tablet”.
Yeah, to be honest I had to do some hunting around (and still got it wrong lol) you would think it is something that they put forward as again it’s a good spec for a tablet at this price
Hi, there are marginal differences between the 680 and 685. So performance would probably be about the same I reckon. 685 scores slightly higher in benchmark results (680 has Geekbench multi-core score of 1568 & 685 has 1615) but benchmarks are only on paper and real world results vary. For me the X9 performed as it should for an entry level chipset
Hi, that is a good question because in my research myself I could not find the official charging speed, I checked the quick start guide too and nothing in there either. Only thing I found was what you had probably seen of 22.5 watts. I used a fast charging brick when charging the tablet and it does state “Quick Charging”

Reflectivity is my only concern with this tablet. It’s the one thing I don’t like on a tablet . Other than that, it looks amazing for the price.

They are 2 separate companies now.
You’re right, that they are after being sold to Shenzhen in 2020
The only thing I want to ask about this tablet can you make the icons bigger so you can see the icons can you make the writing bigger on there as well can you let me know..
Hi, I’m not aware of any setting that allows you to make the icons bigger…unless someone else can advise?
Is there a way to use dual audio so 2 people can watch movies on the same tablet on 2 different bluetooth headsets?
Hi, I’m not aware of such a function, I believe this may be a limitation of the 5.1 Bluetooth? Unless someone else can advise otherwise?
@typicaltechlad seems only samsung galaxy tab 8 and 9 have this capability

Love this new tablet can you use your honor phone plug to charge it
Hey, me too! Which plug are you referring to?
@@typicaltechlad the honor 70 light plug can I use it on this tablet
Hey, yeah I’d imagine you can, looks like the Honor 70 lite supports 22.5W charging which would be fine with this tablet too
I’m looking to buy one of these and use in the car as my new head unit. Currently using an old Huawei and need something bigger and faster.
I think this tablet will serve your purpose well, nice smooth 120Hz display and a decent enough processor to get most tasks done without a problem
What would you choose over this and the lenovo p11 gen 2 and why? Thanks for the review.
Hello, while I haven't personally used the Lenovo P11, it seems to have some advantages over the X9.

Did you try desktop mode on HONOR PAD X9?
Hi, I believe you require additional ‘hardware’ for this? (USB-C to HDMI wire) etc. Unfortunately I did not have this so was unable to test
Question....Does Disney and Netflix play in HD or is it SD?
The tablet supports Widevine L1 so will playback streaming services in HD

Honor pad x9 & Redmi pad se which one has better display? Thanks
I would say the Honor Pad X9 has the slightly better display mainly because it has 120Hz versus 90Hz on Pad SE, and is 0.5 inches bigger. Everything else is pretty much very similar. Both a decent displays
Abit confusing the a ips screen or TFT
?
I know right, HONOR themselves have listed the screen as “TFT LCD (IPS)” however other websites have listed as TFT. The screen itself to me resembles more of an IPS display
Yeah my guess it's ips screen not TFT as there usually Matt and this screen in video is vibrant.
Ok I checked. bad news. it's a TFT LCD panel not my fav panel had a laptop with one terrible .
Ok triple checked reviews they say it's a LCD ips panel .not TFT bit confusing but looking at video it's Def ips panel
My assumption was IPS panel too, TFT would have had horrible viewing angles etc but on the Pad X9 this isn’t the case. The screen is decent

What are the viewing angles like mate?
Hey, viewing angles are really good. No colour shift or dimming, just in the day reflectivity can be bad but apart from that all good
Does the handheld overheats when playing games? :)
It may overheat slightly when pushing the graphics but general/casual gaming you’ll be fine, I didn’t notice any heating issues there
Can you link your Android phone to the tablet? Like an ipad and iphone does...
Hi, the tablet supports HONOR Connect, which allows you to link tablet with other HONOR phones, but I am not sure if this includes all android phones.
Hello !
I see you mention 6 speakers. I just bought this tablet and I only see 4.
Have I been missing something ? 😅
Hey! Haha I understand, as I thought the same myself, the 2 ‘slot’ cutouts along the longer side are speakers too
Does it come with a pre installed screen protector ?
No pre installed screen protector, at least not on my one

What is this like outside?? Does it dim in sunlight like the x8?

Can i charge it faster using a third party fast charger ?
22.5W is the maximum charging you can achieve by using a 3rd party charger, I used my MacBook 61W charge to achieve fast charging on it
Thanks for the review. Do you know if I could use a stylus with this tablet?
Glad you enjoyed. I believe there isn’t a ‘dedicated’ stylus for this tablet, but if you look around you can find some that may work with it. I believe Huawei sell one on AliExpress
I bought it for 150€. Super deal. I still waiting the delivery. But i’m worry about two things: first one i need a keyboard so anyone can tell me if the one on aliexpress for like 35 bucks is fine? If not link me one please. 2 thing is they sell this tablet with 2k display but it in fact is 1080p so wtf???
That is a good deal! You’re right on the 2k being slightly misleading as true 2k is mainly 2560 x 1440. But as this tablet is 2000 x 1200, which is slightly higher than 1080p they have decided to market it as 2k
Where did you get that price? Really good
Please recommend a tempered glass.
It would be best to check on web to find some as I have not purchased any myself
Does this pad x9 have a GPS chip that can be used independantly of other connectivity?
Hi, the tablet itself has ‘Location Services” however I can not explicitly state if the tablet has a GPS chip as it is not listed on the official spec sheet of the tablet on HONOR’s UK website. Some other websites do have the tablet listed with GPS…
Does it have gps chip
Hi, the regular version (the one I have reviewed) does not have GPS, however I believe there is a LTE version (not available in the UK as far as I can see) that does have a GPS chip
Very Good Review.💯
Thank you bro, appreciate it. I am glad you enjoyed 👍
Is there a sim slot?
No sim slot on this version
Great review, I've just ordered one!
How is it with game emulation like PS1, N64, PSP, Wii, PS2, Gamecube?
Thank you! Not sure as I didn’t get the chance to test any emulations unfortunately. Hope you enjoy your new tablet 👍
Oh ok I thought you owned the Tablet still but when mine comes I could get back to you on it.@@typicaltechlad
@badwolf66 I ended up gifting it to family. For future device reviews I’ll be sure to check emulators out. Yeah that would be good thanks 👍
Nice video dear, thank you.
You’re welcome. Glad you enjoyed. Thank you 🤩
Nice review video
Thank you! Much appreciated. I’m glad you enjoyed 👍
How is it compared to MI pad 6
Mi pad 6 is superior, a lot better specs but also comes at nearly double the price
does it have play store and other google services?
Hi, yes it has Google Play Store and other Google Services. It also comes with HONOR’s own ‘market’ for apps
how's the tablet support for styluses? is it pressure sensitive?
Hi, unfortunately no stylus support on this tablet, I’m assuming this was the case to keep costs down
Hi do you know a good tablet with a similar price that has palm rejection? I'm looking for it with palm rejection for university
Hi, to be honest as far as I am aware all the budget tablets have very similar specs, having palm rejection pushes up price a little. Check out my Lenovo Tab P12 review, that’s priced at around £330, quite good for productive use and comes with a stylus too
@@typicaltechlad ok thanks
Can this tablet make a phone call?
Unfortunately not, there is no sim card compatibility
bro tell about software updates promised by honor.
Hey, my bad, an oversight from me, will definitely include in future videos. In the case of the Pad X9 the company promises 2 years of major updates and 3 years of security updates.
Down side points are no headphone socket, no card slot, no plug and hard to navigate through where your missing the 3 little boxes at the bottom. £160 in Argos.
Those are definitely down sides, you can change the gesture based navigation to the classic three- key navigation by going to Settings> System & Updates> System Navigation and selecting three-key navigation
Can we connect earbuds?
Yes via Bluetooth only
How does this connect with keyboard?
Hi, I believe you would be able to connect via a Bluetooth keyboard. The tablet does not have a dedicated keyboard connection
Does it come with preapplied screen protector
No it does not
Mine keeps turning of watching videos. I have sleep set to never. Any ideas
Hey, that’s weird, have you tried a restart?
@@typicaltechlad yup..seems a lot of people reported same thing. I have to tap screen regularly watching Netflix. Prime video etc to stop it sleeping after a short time.
@@danielmccarthy8386is it still same or got it fixed ?
What tablet do i reccomend as a student for under 300 euro?
Hello, this tablet would be okay as it is £250 euros I believe. It has good multi tasking/split screen functionality and also good connectivity abilities. But you may look around at other tablets under 300 to see what fits your needs best
@@typicaltechlad so what u suggest for under 300? Thank you for your respond
@@riccardovigano8354depends. Redmi pad or s6 lite or ipad 9gen 329€ now
Please recommend stylus for honor pad 9x.
Hi, it would be best to look for a universal stylus. The tablet does not have a dedicated stylus or stylus support as far as I am aware
Found anywhere selling a case for it?
Hey, yeah here in UK, you can purchase a flip cover for it: www.hihonor.com/uk/accessories/honor-pad-x9-flip-cover/buy/
Hi does it have palm rejection while writing notes with a pen?
Hi, unfortunately not as it doesn’t have a ‘stylus dedicated’ screen, leaning your palm on the screen will register as input, but depends on how still your palm stays lol
@@typicaltechlad oh no... Do you know a good tablet with a similar price that has palm rejection? I'm looking for it with palm rejection for university
Hi mate. What about the widevine certification? Could you please check it?
Hey, I’m not sure what you are referring to for ‘widewine’…could you elaborate please
@@typicaltechladit's a digital right management. Without it you can't stream in full hd
Hi, HONOR states “The HONOR Pad X9 supports Widevine L1 DRM”. Hope this clarifies
@@typicaltechlad the German honor support wrote me the opposite. I've bought it in the meantime and can confirm that it supports widevine L1. Thanks a lot
Ah okay, good stuff, apologies in delay getting back to you. Enjoy your new tablet 😄
Is this suitable for studying ?
Hello, can you be a bit more specific please? Studying in which manner? Productivity wise?
This tab support only fhd video or 2k its confusing plz can u clarify my doubts
Hi, from my experience it was only able to stream at FHD (1080p)
4k support in third party app?
5g or lte version????please reply
No 5g or LTE unfortunately, only WiFi
Can you play normal games like brawl stars and stuff
5:27
Thanks @lordforehead3597, yeah pretty much answered the question there, normal games will be fine on the tablet 👍
Does it have Samsung Dex like feature?
Hi, it has HONOR Connect which allows you to “screen share between phone and tablet, you can drag images and videos seamlessly between devices” and Message Share “receive messages from your phone on the tablet”.
@@typicaltechlad thanks for the reply
Storage type is it eMMC or UFS?
Hi, I believe it has UFS 2.1 storage type
@@typicaltechlad just had an email back from Honor say UFS 3.1.
@paulmitchell243123 my bad, 3.1 it is then
@@typicaltechlad really surprised they don't advertise it and it as for price range I wasn't expecting them to say UFS 3.1.
Yeah, to be honest I had to do some hunting around (and still got it wrong lol) you would think it is something that they put forward as again it’s a good spec for a tablet at this price
honor pad x9 or amazon fire max 11?
HONOR Pad X9
The Honor pad 8 has the snapdragon 680, this one has the snapdragon 685, is there much difference performance wise?
Hi, there are marginal differences between the 680 and 685. So performance would probably be about the same I reckon. 685 scores slightly higher in benchmark results (680 has Geekbench multi-core score of 1568 & 685 has 1615) but benchmarks are only on paper and real world results vary. For me the X9 performed as it should for an entry level chipset
Does runescape 3 work on this well????
I didn’t get the chance to test RuneScape on this, apologies
Hello bud, can you confirm if this charges at 22.5 Watts? I've read it does on a few articles, but nothing concrete. Thanks..
Hi, that is a good question because in my research myself I could not find the official charging speed, I checked the quick start guide too and nothing in there either. Only thing I found was what you had probably seen of 22.5 watts. I used a fast charging brick when charging the tablet and it does state “Quick Charging”
@@typicaltechlad OK thanks for looking. 👍 Glad it gets a quick charge.
The chip SD685 has support of Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0 which means 22.5W PD
