HONOR Pad 9, 12.1-inch Wi-Fi Tablet with Keyboard, 8GB+256GB, 120Hz 2.5K Eye Protection Display, 8 Speakers, Android 13, Space Grey

I'm very impressed with this tablet. I wasn't going to bother with the keyboard option, but managed to get it included for next to nothing in an Amazon "used - like new" offer. I'm glad I did, because the keyboard really enhances the tablet, and it is very slim - it doesn't add much more bulk than a tranditional flip case. The tablet itself looks "premium" - and performance in all the areas that I care about is great. The screen is excellent at the price point, and the speakers are a real surprise - probably the best I've heard on a tablet. Combined with the case, the tablet turns in to a small laptop, and any tasks involving typing become much easier. Battery life is excellent, and charging (at up to 35W) is more than fast enough for my needs. No charger is included, but most of use have more of those than we need already, so I don't mind that at all. Both the tablet and the keyboard charge via USB Type-C. I thought I'd find the Magic OS (based on Android) annoying, and had planned to use a more vanilla launcher like Nova. However, I find Magic OS is fine - I actually like it - especially the fixed and dynamic docks at the bottom of the screen. It is clearly a nod to Apple. There are inevitably a few features missing. For example the USB port is only USB 2, so data transfer is not the fastest, and there is no USB-HDMI video option. However, when you look at the price point versus and entry level iPad - the difference in cost-to functionality is huge. This is a very good value tablet. I strongly recommend going for the "with keyboard" option. It adds very little bulk and really improves the user experience.

Great tablet, really pleased with the speed, performance and the quality of the display. Bought them for my elderly dad and my daughter and they both love them! My only concern (I am not knocking any stars off for this as I should have checked before I bought it) is that it can only be charged via the USB-C port. There is no wireless charging. There is no dock charging option. This does mean that with wear and tear over time, or with heavy handed use, the USB-C port may fail and leave you with no way to charge the device. I have tried to get charging sockets replaced a few times over the years, and quite often nowadays with the thinner devices, the shops just refuse to do them, or say it will be a "best effort" and they may break the screen when removing it to get at the motherboard, which they require indemnity from before attempting the repair! So just bear that in mind.

The quality of this tab is outstanding for this price seriously I was worried to take the plunge to buy it, but oh so glad I did !!! I only bought it to watch YouTube, Netflix, Amazon Prime and the football via the apk content, but this device can do everything so incredibly well, I can’t see the justification in spending so much on any of the current expensive market leaders. Screen and sound quality are excellent and ease of use a doddle, Honor you have nailed it with this kit 👍

This tablet/laptop defies it's prices If someone had told me it was double the price I would have believed them. I am trying to find a fault to negative to balance this review but it's really hard to If I was nit picking I would say the screen is really reflective , however this only impacted by usage one day when I was outdoors on holiday and trying to watch a very dark film. If the key board lit up that would be a huge bonus but not the end of the world. I am using it with a cheapo stylus from amazon and it works totally fine I have had an honor phone for the past few years , I find the user interface much slicker than google( even though it's based on google). The pro reviewers have said it's good for gaming , I don't use it for that but that means it has a solid chip set inside In conclusion a superb buy

I was looking at getting a new Ipad air with keyboard and found this instead. Compared to a £1K Ipad air with keyboard, this is a bargain. Well worth getting the version with the keyboard as it is a slim design. Battery life is good. Screen is not Ipad levels but still very good. I also brought an external keyboard and track pad for this tablet but it made it too thick and bulky you can pair a Bluetooth mouse anyway, hence just get this version with the keyboard. Magic OS is a bit marmite, youll either love it or hate it. For me, I love it. changed the fonts and the rotate action of moving from the first screen to the second and now it looks really polished.

I've had this tablet for 12 months and it's still the best tablet I've ever had. The specifications are impressive, the responsiveness is still incredible, and the size of it, WOW. The picture quality is fantastic, I stream content from my local PC and even 4K video plays so smooth. The battery life is a little meh, but I do really intensive stuff, so I suppose 3 hours is actually good. When I use it to play audiobooks at night, then the battery just keeps going for a couple of weeks. I really really love this tablet, the only downside, it's you can't add a microSD card to increase the storage, but even at 256GB do I really need it... not really, but it would be awesome to have. Top rate tablet. I love it.

I'm amazed at the quality of this tablet. Good price considering the spec and the screen is excellent. I bought the version that includes a keyboard case which works fine although it is slightly annoying that the keyboard does not lay 100% flat on a flat surface, but this is a minor issue.

Very nice tablet, screen is super, keyboard was easy to set up, I've attached my Bluetooth devices and used it for teams calls. So all good, very impressed with the value for money.
