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.

I need a Tablet for watching videos and taking online courses, so I chose this HONOR Pad 9 for its good price and the keyboard. And it's really an amazing choice. It has good display, good eye protection and a large battery last long time! The software runs smoothly, and the multi windows, the HONOR Notice function allows me to take notes when I take the online courses. With the keyboard it is quite convenient and efficient. Now it's more a less a laptop for me. Strongly recommend it!

Really nice but battery life could be much better

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've used a lot of android tablets over the years - mostly use them for light stuff - web browsing, emails on the train etc. It's been interesting seeing how they've developed over the years and this is by far the best one I've ever used. Pros: 1. The 60hz screen is incredibly smooth and sharp 2. The keyboard is very good and the case + keyboard feels pretty solid 3. It feels much more premium than the price. 4. The split screen feature is actually really useful. e.g. if you click on a link in gmail it will open the browser in the second half of the screen. Cons: 1. No LTE. There is an LTE version but this doesn't come with the keyboard. 2. The keyboard is bluetooth - it doesn't connect physically to the tablet. So you have to keep it charged separately which can be annoying. 3. For me personally I've realised that 12in is a bit big for a tablet, even if it's relatively thin and light.

Just got my hands on this new tablet, and wow, it's pretty impressive! The screen is massive and looks absolutely gorgeous for watching videos or browsing. Performance is super snappy, no lag even with a bunch of apps open. The sound quality is surprisingly good too, really fills the room. Definitely a solid option if you're looking for a big-screen tablet experience.

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 👍
