Honor has quietly introduced the Pad X9a in Malaysia, adding another mid-range tablet to its lineup. While the company hasn’t shared pricing details yet, the tablet is already listed on Honor Malaysia’s website, giving us a full look at its specs and features.
Smooth Display and Decent Performance
The Honor Pad X9a sports an 11.5-inch LCD screen with a crisp 2.5K resolution (1504 x 2508 pixels) and a 120Hz refresh rate, ensuring smooth scrolling and fluid animations.
Under the hood, it runs on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 685, a 6nm entry-level chipset. The device comes with 8GB of RAM, which can be virtually expanded by another 8GB from its 128GB storage. However, storage isn’t expandable, so users will have to work within that limit.
Basic Cameras for Everyday Use
Cameras aren’t a major focus here, but the Pad X9a includes an 8MP rear sensor with autofocus and an f/2.0 aperture. On the front, there’s a 5MP camera for video calls and selfies. These specs should be enough for casual video conferencing and document scanning.
Long-Lasting Battery with Fast Charging
Powering the tablet is an 8,300mAh battery, which supports 35W fast charging. Honor claims it can last up to 70 days on standby, though real-world usage will likely depend on activity levels.
Software and Connectivity
The Pad X9a runs Android 15-based MagicOS 9.0 and supports Honor’s wireless keyboard and stylus accessories. However, it lacks LTE or cellular network support, so it’s strictly a Wi-Fi-only device.
Expected Price and Availability
Honor is offering the Pad X9a in a single Gray color variant, but the company hasn’t revealed the price yet. Given its mid-range specs, it’s expected to compete with similarly priced tablets from brands like Samsung and Xiaomi.
Would you consider this as your next tablet, or are you waiting for something more powerful?
