Along with debuting the ship’s company ’s new Alpha plan and announcing a whopping seven days of OS upgrades for the flagship Magic equipment , Honor also showcased the in vogue in a longsighted line of work of tablets at MWC 2025 – the Honor Pad V9 . But this one is different .

Honor has always been know for nifty value pad – there ’s a reason why theHonor Pad 9wonBest crummy Tabletat last year’sTrusted Reviews Awards .

But it seems the ship’s company has taken a liberal step forward with the latest in its accumulation .

In fact , the Honor Pad V9 has the potential to take on the entranceway - leveliPad 10 in many respects . Let me excuse .

A screen to behold

Most of the excitement revolves around the screen itself – arguably one of , if not the most crucial prospect of a full-grown - screen tablet experience . It ’s not only a turgid enough panel to enjoy flick and play games , value in at 11.5 column inch , but it ’s anIMAX Enhancedscreen .

This should deliver more vibrant colours , greater direct contrast and more clarity – something immediately apparent when I go hired hand - on at the Honor sales booth atMWC 2025 .

aggregate with an eye - watering 2.8 kilobyte resolution and a 144Hz refresh rate that ’s quicker than most on the market , include those from Apple and Samsung , Honor really has something on its hands here .

It ’s notjusta solid pad for catching up on the latest installment of Severence or playing biz like Call of Duty Mobile either . It ’s powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 8350 Elite which , while not the top - end 9000 - series chipset , is only a single step down and should give up self-coloured performance compared to the budget challenger – even Honor ’s own previous tablets .

The caller also extend a keyboard accessory , all over with a trackpad for a more laptop - esque experience , and a low - latency stylus that ’s bang-up for draw . Well , my try at drawing , anyway .

A tempting price

Other notable features include a 10,100 mAh bombardment with 66W fast charging , an eight - speaker regalia for more immersive viewing and 256 GB of storage by default – all that in a chassis that measures in at just 6.1 mm , and all for £ 399 .

Granted , thatisslightly more than Apple ’s £ 329 iPad 10 , but you ’re getting quite the upgrade in the computer hardware department with a with child , faster , more pixel - dense screen door , a bigger barrage with fast charging , a newer processor and a slender , lighter intention .

While I ’ve not yet spent enough clip with the tablet to say for certain , the Honor Pad V9 could bethetablet that bring Honor ’s tablet range into the spotlight .   Could we have an option for thebest tabletorbest Android tabletof 2025 ? I very much hope so .
