The X40 isn’t the only new device Honor announced for its Chinese home market this week. The budget phone has been joined by an affordable tablet. It is called Honor Pad X8 and should not be confused with either the Honor Pad 8, launched in July, or with the Honor Pad X8 Lite, which appeared on the company’s website a couple of days ago.
The Honor Pad X8 is equipped with a 10.1-inch 1920×1200 IPS touchscreen, an unannounced MediaTek chipset only labeled as MT8786, which has an octa-core CPU with two Cortex-A75 cores clocked at 2.0 GHz and six cores Cortex-A55 clocked at 1.8GHz, 6GB of RAM, 64 or 128GB of storage, a 5MP rear camera, a 2MP front camera, and a 5,100mAh battery.

The tablet runs three-year-old Android 10 for whatever reason, with Honor’s Magic UI 4.0 on top. It measures 240.2 x 159 x 7.55mm and weighs 460g. It’s ready to order in China, in Dawn Blue, at a special introductory price of CNY 1,299 ($ 186 or € 185 at current exchange rates). After the initial sale is concluded, the price rises to CNY 1,399 ($ 200 or € 200). A mint green option should also come in the future.
It’s unclear when or if the Honor Pad X8 will make its international debut outside of China, but if it does, we’ll be sure to let you know.
