Honor Pad X9a Specifications
Design and Display
The Honor Pad X9a comes in a single gray color with a dual-tone finish. The top part is slightly lighter while the lower half darkens a bit. While the Honor Pad X9 has a pilled-shaped camera island with two cameras the “a” series comes with a single camera module. On the front it has an 11.5” LCD screen with a resolution of 2,508 x 1,504 pixels. The display offers a smooth 120Hz refresh rate and a peak brightness of 400 nits, making it decent for everyday use and media consumption.
Performance and Battery
Under the hood, just like its predecessor the X9a is powered by the Snapdragon 685 chipset. It features an octa-core CPU with four Cortex-A73 cores at 2.8 GHz and four Cortex-A53 cores clocked at up to 1.9 GHz. For memory, it comes with 8GB of RAM which can be virtually expanded by another 8GB from the 128GB storage. You’ll also find it running on Android 15 with MagicOS 9.0.
In terms of battery, it comes with a hefty 8,300mAh battery which supports 35W fast charging. Honor claims that it can last up to 70 days on standby which is pretty impressive.
While camera hardware is usually not a focus for tablets the Honor X9a is no exception. It has an 8MP rear camera with autofocus and an f/2.0 aperture. The 5MP front camera should handle basic video calls or selfies well.
For connectivity, the tablet supports Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.1. Also, you will get the option to use a wireless keyboard and stylus. Other than that there is Voice Notes with AI assistance that supports automatic speech-to-text conversion.
