HONOR has officially launched the HONOR Pad X8b in the Philippines, positioning it as an affordable yet durable tablet for students, families, and first-time buyers. The device is now available via TikTok Shop, with an introductory price of ₱9,999 and bundled accessories.
The release builds on the previous Pad X8a, with upgrades focused on durability, battery life, and productivity features tailored for everyday use.
HONOR Pad X8b focuses on durability and everyday use
The HONOR Pad X8b introduces a reinforced metal body designed to withstand daily wear and accidental drops. The tablet uses upgraded structural materials to improve resistance against pressure and impact, targeting users who need a more rugged device for home, school, or mobile use.
At 499g and 7.25mm thin, the device balances portability with structural strength, positioning it as a practical option for shared household use, including for children.
11-inch display and quad speakers enhance media experience
The tablet features an 11-inch FullView display with a 1920×1200 resolution and a 90Hz refresh rate, offering smoother visuals for streaming, browsing, and casual gaming.
Audio is handled by a quad-speaker setup with Hi-Res Audio certification, aimed at improving immersion for video content and online classes. Voice enhancement features also help clarify dialogue, especially in noisy environments.
Snapdragon 680 and 10,100mAh battery power long usage
Under the hood, the HONOR Pad X8b runs on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 680 chipset, a power-efficient platform designed for multitasking, media consumption, and light gaming.
One of its key highlights is the 10,100mAh battery, which supports extended usage:
- Up to 21 hours of video playback
- Up to 97 days of standby time
This makes the device suitable for users who need long battery life without frequent charging.
MagicOS 10 and HONOR Kids add productivity and safety features
The tablet runs on MagicOS 10.0, bringing multitasking features such as split-screen mode, floating windows, and app extensions for better use of the large display.
For families, HONOR Kids provides a dedicated environment with app controls and time limits. It also has eye comfort features (blue light filter, posture alerts) and usage tracking for parents.
These additions position the device as both a productivity tool and a child-friendly tablet.
Price, availability, and launch offer
The HONOR Pad X8b is available in Space Grey and is priced at ₱9,999 from April 14 to April 21 via TikTok Shop. Early buyers also receive a free stylus pen as part of the launch promo.
With its focus on durability, battery endurance, and family-friendly features, the HONOR Pad X8b enters the competitive budget tablet segment, where brands continue to push more value-driven devices for education and everyday use.
