Honor Pad V8 Pro Overview:

Design, Display

Honor has equipped the Pad V8 pro with a 12.1-inch IPS LCD display that boasts an impressive resolution of 2560 x 1600 pixels, 10-bit color depth, and 100% coverage of the DCI-P3 color gamut. It is also the first tablet to have a 144Hz refresh rate, making it ideal for fast-paced media consumption and gaming. Plus, with its IMAX Enhanced certification, users can access content that meets the same high standards as IMAX movies, typically only available on TVs. Likewise, the screen has a peak brightness of 600 nits. In addition, the Honor Pad V8 Pro takes care of your eyes with its proprietary "natural-light-like eye protection" technology. The tablet has also received TUV Rheinland certification for Hardware Grade Low Blue Light and Flicker-free, making it a safe and comfortable choice for extended use. Furthermore, the tablet has an equally good exterior design. It features a leather texture finish on the Burning Orange version, while the Clear Sky Blue and Star Gray options have a metallic chassis.

One is the Magic Pencil 3, which has a pressure sensitivity of 4096 and can be magnetically charged. Another useful accessory is a keyboard with a dedicated trackpad for easy typing on the go.

Performance

In charge of things inside is a MediaTek Dimensity 8100 which is a plenty powerful chipset with four Cortex-A78 (@2.85GHz) and four Cortex-A55 (@2.0GHz). This is paired with up to 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. Sadly Honor still ships the tablet with Android 12-based Magic UI 7.0, despite the fact that Android 13 has been available for quite some time. Anyways, things are powered by a generous 10,050mAh battery that supports up to 35W wired charging.
