The only thing I want to ask about this tablet can you make the icons bigger so you can see the icons can you make the writing bigger on there as well can you let me know..

[@typicaltechlad]

Hi, I’m not aware of any setting that allows you to make the icons bigger…unless someone else can advise?

[@CMW]

Nice review.. Always love Honor/Huawei products ❤

[@typicaltechlad]

Thank you so much for the kind words! 🙏 I'm thrilled you enjoyed the review, and I totally agree HONOR/Huawei products never cease to impress! I’m working on another HONOR product review at the moment too 👍🏽

[@RHolmezy]

They are 2 separate companies now.

[@typicaltechlad]

You’re right, that they are after being sold to Shenzhen in 2020

[@dnakatomiuk]

I have an old Samsung A6 tablet from 2006 I use it mostly for a app that allows me to use to view a camera as a baby monitor. The Samsung is old now doesn't get any updates and I am after one with the same size battery and more secure would this be a perfect replacement

[@typicaltechlad]

Hi, it sounds like for your use case the Pad X9 will suffice. HONOR state that the Pad X9 will receive regular quarterly security patches and I believe at least 1 OS upgrade. Hope this helps answer your query

[@tsu8003]

I am stuck between choosing the Pad 8 or the Pad X9 because both have their own merits. The Pad 8 has a bigger and better screen and also comes with a charger. The Tab X9 is newer, has a faster cpu and the latest version of Android which should allow for more updates over the next two years. At the moment the Tab X9 is only £20 cheaper than the Tab 8 and that's little more than the price of a decent fast charger which I will have to buy separately so the relative price is basically the same. I will be using the tablet mainly for browsing, chatting and streaming live sports and watching programs but am not particularly bothered about gaming. I am leaning more towards the Tab X9 because it is the newer model but am concerned about how the sound works in portrait given that it only has speakers on 3 sides, which means that the right side in portrait doesn't have speakers. Is this an issue or barely noticeable? Also, when in split screen mode in landscape, which i would sometimes use to watch a sport and use a chat app at the same time how does the keyboard work? Does it stay within the chat app part or will it still take up the full width of the tablet? Btw, I really like your reviews, very precise and informative. Got thumbs up and subscribed from me!

[@pr_omg]

Pad x9 display is a much better display than pad 8. I've compared side by side, pad x9 looks warmer, brighter.

[@lewis9767]

Is there a way to use dual audio so 2 people can watch movies on the same tablet on 2 different bluetooth headsets?

[@typicaltechlad]

Hi, I’m not aware of such a function, I believe this may be a limitation of the 5.1 Bluetooth? Unless someone else can advise otherwise?

[@lewis9767]

[@seszel1]

Hi i just got my one today and my only issue is i cant set any of youtube videos to play in 4k quality. Maximum i can see is 1080p. Is there any way to play videos in higher resolution than 1080p on youtube app? I have tried youtube revanced too but no luck despite setting default resolution to 4k

[@typicaltechlad]

Hi, unfortunately for me it was the same, 1080p is the highest playback on KZbin, which I believe is due to compatibility of the device. I’m not aware of any other workarounds that would allow it to work…unless someone else can provide some information..

[@seszel1]

Reflectivity is my only concern with this tablet. It’s the one thing I don’t like on a tablet . Other than that, it looks amazing for the price.

[@typicaltechlad]

Hi, yes reflectivity is an issue, its just one of things that get worse the bigger the screen gets, but nothing that would deter me from it as it is very good value for money

Hi i like your review for this tablet but i have a question . Dose it supporting some High quality games like genshin impact whitout crashing or lagging ?

[@p.r.ochannel9466]

Mmm tbh it's not made for high end games, so it's gonna give u up to 30 fps (unstable performance) for Genshin impact! Lite and med games would be a thrill on this pad for sure❤.

[@jennajones8747]

Hi, I’m looking at getting my daughter one of these for Christmas, she’s into playing Roblox games, watching movies, Netflix, just loads of games to be honest, would u say this would be suitable? She has the Lenovo M10 at the moment but the storage is RUBBISH. & she filled it with games in about 2 weeks. Thanks

[@typicaltechlad]

Hi Jenna, thank you for watching, sounds like she’s an avid gamer lol. The Pad X9 comes with 128GB of internal storage only (no sd card expansion!) so it all depends on how many games she downloads and how big they are. Something like Genshin Impact runs around 20GB usually, so large file sized games will fill up the storage quite quickly. Just have to be mindful of the limited storage in the end. For everything else, watching movies & Netflix the tablet is a delight, the 6 speakers make it very immersive and the display too 👍 hope that answers your question

[@jennajones8747]

Thank u for getting back to me, she also likes to download movies etc on Netflix/prime. Would this be ok? x

[@typicaltechlad]

No worries, yeah that wouldn’t be a problem. But again comes down to if you’re downloading SD or HD, as HD movies will take up a lot more storage (stating the obvious lol)

[@MMD88]

Looking for a cheap tablet with a good screen to put on a treadmill, don’t care much for performance. Do you have any suggestions? Or is this the best screen for the price?

[@MMD88]

[@prudhvisai1436]

​@@MMD88a Bluetooth would be best deal and moreover it has 6 speakers it won't be a problem

[@typicaltechlad]

I think this tablet would be fine for your use, the screen is good for something at this price, sharp, good colours and good viewing angles

[@quick247]

Would you recommend to buy the Honor Pad 8 or the X9 for media consumption? The Pad 8 has larger IPS display, but lower refresh rate. The X9 has smaller and possible worse TFT display but higher refresh rate 120Hz. Is one better than the other in screen, speakers or anything else?

[@typicaltechlad]

Hi, I don’t have any personal use of the Pad 8 but for media consumption, I think there are certain trade offs on each side and you would have decide which trade off you are willing to accept. The TFT panel on Pad X9 is not bad at all in my opinion with slight shifting in viewing angles. And 0.5 inches difference in size is marginal. X9 also has slightly higher PPI. Personally the X9 was a very good tablet for media consumption

[@prudhvisai1436]

Even the pad 8 has a TFT LCD back-lit and IPS panel same as X9 Pad

[@daa184]

Mi pad6

[@quick247]

I bought the X9 and it's and amazing tablet. Speakers, screen, battery life, software everything is mind blowing at this price range. I don't understand how can they make it this good at £149

[@pixelpirate6]

What would be your recommendation, X9 or Xiaomi Pad SE. I would primarily use it for manga, anime, playing some games and browsing the web? Also whats your opinion on SD cards. For example for downloading manga or files on it, are they reliable? Thanks in advance.

[@typicaltechlad]

I preferred the Pad X9 between those two tablets, but they are very similarly matched specs wise, but for me the X9 was slightly better. I think for the use cases you listed it would work fine, especially as a media consumption device it is really nice

[@andreacapucapu2161]

The tablet is really good for the money, has a great display for indoor, good audio, runs smooth and can handle a bit of multitasking very well. The CPU is strong enought for simple tasks of everyday life for common users, and let the battery last long, at least 7 hours. It's a mess that the Honor Launcher, even if has many good things quite usefull in a tablet, lacks of many usefull features, is ugly and has a poor and limited personalization, but it runs very fast.

[@rock-vk2cf]

Should I get this one x9 or Pad 8? Both are similar in price here. I'm looking for a better display for media consumption and to read e books. Users say Pad 8 display doesn't look sharp enough if u look too closely due to big display. I want to know if its the same case here with x9???

[@typicaltechlad]

Hi, the HONOR Pad X9 has a higher PPI of 203 whereas the Pad 8 is 194 PPI, me personally, I didn’t really look at it very close like that but it seems sharp enough at normal distance, and Pad X9 also has higher refresh rate of 120Hz vs 60Hz and can get slightly brighter at 400 nits vs 350 on the Pad 8, do between them the X9 has the better display and would be more suited for you media consumption and ebooks

[@miedelweisstemplado4244]

Does stylus pen work on this?

[@typicaltechlad]

Yes a 3rd party ‘universal’ stylus will work

[@killerconsoles517]

What would you choose over this and the lenovo p11 gen 2 and why? Thanks for the review.

[@typicaltechlad]

Hello, while I haven't personally used the Lenovo P11, it seems to have some advantages over the X9. The P11 appears to have a slightly better processor on paper, higher MP cameras, improved WiFi with WiFi 6e support, as well as sim and SD card support. However, it's essential to consider real-world usage to make a final decision. Based solely on the spec sheet and price, I would lean slightly towards the P11

[@SamimAhmed-xr3wv]

[@David-uq2uk]

Abit confusing the a ips screen or TFT ?

[@typicaltechlad]

I know right, HONOR themselves have listed the screen as “TFT LCD (IPS)” however other websites have listed as TFT. The screen itself to me resembles more of an IPS display

[@David-uq2uk]

Yeah my guess it's ips screen not TFT as there usually Matt and this screen in video is vibrant.

[@David-uq2uk]

Ok I checked. bad news. it's a TFT LCD panel not my fav panel had a laptop with one terrible .

[@David-uq2uk]

Ok triple checked reviews they say it's a LCD ips panel .not TFT bit confusing but looking at video it's Def ips panel

[@typicaltechlad]

My assumption was IPS panel too, TFT would have had horrible viewing angles etc but on the Pad X9 this isn’t the case. The screen is decent

[@lamp503000]

Hi any external memory? For example microsd?

[@serbancristian5533]

I just bought pad x9 and played CoDm but it runs really bad. Have i done something wrong? Thank you!

Hey, hmm not sure why it would be running bad. Maybe try restarting the tablet and then trying? Or try turning on ‘performance mode’ under the battery settings and then playing

[@christiancocco7001]

I bought it for 150€. Super deal. I still waiting the delivery. But i’m worry about two things: first one i need a keyboard so anyone can tell me if the one on aliexpress for like 35 bucks is fine? If not link me one please. 2 thing is they sell this tablet with 2k display but it in fact is 1080p so wtf???

[@typicaltechlad]

That is a good deal! You’re right on the 2k being slightly misleading as true 2k is mainly 2560 x 1440. But as this tablet is 2000 x 1200, which is slightly higher than 1080p they have decided to market it as 2k

Just as an aside while the review was awesome and it was nice that you provided the specs. Using White font on a light grey background really makes it hard to see what you wrote

Hi do you know a good tablet with a similar price that has palm rejection? I'm looking for it with palm rejection for university

@@typicaltechlad on last doubt please clear , Does this tablet get heat or no

[@prudhvisai1436]

​@@BaljeetSingh-cm2qrprobably not because the SD685 Max TDP is only 5w so you won't feel the heat for atleast 5 to 6 hrs

Does this pad can connect to ethernet?

It may be able to with an adapter, I don’t possess an adapter in order to check unfortunately

Is it possible to run stock android on this

[@typicaltechlad]

Hey, not entirely sure tbh, I don’t do much tinkering with devices like that anymore lol. Might be worth googling to see if someone else has covered this?

Great review! Thankyou!

Glad you enjoyed it!

How is it compared to MI pad 6

[@typicaltechlad]

Mi pad 6 is superior, a lot better specs but also comes at nearly double the price

[@justimunn7877]

how's the tablet support for styluses? is it pressure sensitive?

[@typicaltechlad]

Hi, unfortunately no stylus support on this tablet, I’m assuming this was the case to keep costs down

[@harvindrasingh7308]

Please recommend stylus for honor pad 9x.

[@typicaltechlad]

Hi, it would be best to look for a universal stylus. The tablet does not have a dedicated stylus or stylus support as far as I am aware

[@nader_888]

Very good review 👏

The Honor pad 8 has the snapdragon 680, this one has the snapdragon 685, is there much difference performance wise?

[@typicaltechlad]

Hi, there are marginal differences between the 680 and 685. So performance would probably be about the same I reckon. 685 scores slightly higher in benchmark results (680 has Geekbench multi-core score of 1568 & 685 has 1615) but benchmarks are only on paper and real world results vary. For me the X9 performed as it should for an entry level chipset

What tablet do i reccomend as a student for under 300 euro?

[@typicaltechlad]

Hello, this tablet would be okay as it is £250 euros I believe. It has good multi tasking/split screen functionality and also good connectivity abilities. But you may look around at other tablets under 300 to see what fits your needs best

[@riccardovigano8354]

@@typicaltechlad so what u suggest for under 300? Thank you for your respond

[@sunnysharma327]

What type of screen it is ....company wrote it TFT LCD (IPS) BOTH what does it means ...can you tell me plz difference between screens of honor pad 8 vs hono x9 pad ..

[@typicaltechlad]

Hello, you’re right and this seems to be an unconfirmed error by the company, from experience I do believe it is an IPS display as the viewing angles were no where near as bad as a TFT display would be. Differences between the X9 and 8 are minimal, X9 has a slightly better processor, 120Hz, and slightly sharper sceeen. Pad 8 is more expensive also, at least here in the UK

[@sunnysharma327]

Thnkx for reply but sir this is not a error ....i also read This type of screen in huwaei matepad it is same screen by honor company and huwaei both are same companies ......i only want to know howz the quality of screen ....can you compare it with another pad for example with redmi pad or honor pad 8 ?i want to buy honor x9 it it ok i want to do share market trading only ?

[@typicaltechlad]

I didn’t realise it was possible to have TFT and IPS display together? I thought they were 2 different types of display technology? The screen on the X9 is good, plenty brightness and nice colours. It has PPI of 203 which is mediocre but decent enough. I think for you market trading this tablet will be fine

[@sunnysharma327]

Have you saw a honor 8 tab? I want to know about its comparison on screen ....last thing I want to know about its battery life after heavy use ..can it stay for 2 day ?

[@prudhvisai1436]

All LCD are mostly TFT but the panel technology will change TN, VA, IPS. So this is called TFT LCD Display with IPS panel I hope you got your answer

[@sagars13]

Does it come with preapplied screen protector

[@typicaltechlad]

No it does not

Hi, xiaomi redmi pad 10.6 OR honor pad x9 ?

[@typicaltechlad]

Hi, both tablets have their pros and cons, it would be best to research direct comparisons to see which specs are more beneficial to you. Also the Redmi Pad is nearly £100 more expensive here in the UK (RRP)
