Overview

The HONOR Pad X8b is an affordable 11-inch Android tablet designed for streaming, reading, children’s applications and light everyday tasks. Its 90Hz display provides smoother navigation than a conventional 60Hz budget tablet, while the four-speaker system suits personal entertainment.

The Snapdragon 680 processor and 4GB of physical RAM are intended for basic use rather than demanding gaming or extensive multitasking. Its main advantages are the large 10,100mAh battery, expandable storage and reinforced metal construction.

When buying a used HONOR Pad X8b, inspect the display for scratches, pressure marks, discolouration and inaccurate touch response. Test the cameras, four speakers, USB-C port, microSD slot, Wi-Fi connection and battery performance, and confirm that the previous owner’s HONOR and Google accounts have been removed.

Key Highlights

11-inch 90Hz Display

The HONOR Pad X8b uses an 11-inch TFT LCD with a 1920 × 1200 resolution and a refresh rate of up to 90Hz.

Why it matters:

The display provides practical space for streaming and reading.
A 90Hz refresh rate makes scrolling appear smoother than 60Hz.
The widescreen format works well with films and programmes.
A sunlight mode can raise brightness to approximately 500 nits.

Why it matters:

The capacity supports extended video playback.
Long reading sessions require less frequent charging.
Standby time is useful for occasionally used family tablets.
The battery suits travel and use away from a power socket.

The metal body provides a more solid feel than basic plastic designs.
SGS testing covers drop, shock and compression resistance.
A microSD card can add up to 2TB of storage.
