Honor Pad X9a Confirmed: Will It Be the Best Affordable Tablet Yet?

Honor is preparing to launch its next budget-friendly tablet, the Honor Pad X9a, as a successor to the Honor Pad X8a, which debuted in August. The device has recently been certified by the Telecommunications and Digital Government Regulatory Authority (TDRA) of the UAE, confirming its availability in the region. While no official launch date has been announced, the certification suggests that the tablet is close to its release.

Although the TDRA certification does not reveal the device’s specifications, the “X9a” branding suggests that it will be a modest upgrade over its predecessor. The Honor Pad X8a was a budget-oriented tablet with decent features for everyday use, and the X9a will also follow the same approach.

• Snapdragon 680 processor
• 4GB RAM and 64GB/128GB storage options
• Dual 5MP cameras (front and rear)
• 8,300 mAh battery

Since the Honor Pad X9a is a successor, it is likely to retain or slightly improve upon these specifications.

Global Availability and Certification Details

Honor has been expanding its presence globally, especially in the mid-range and budget device segments, so the X9a will be available in Asia, Europe, and other regions.

The certified model of the Pad X9a (ELN2-W29) is a Wi-Fi-only variant, which means there could also be a cellular version released later.

How Will the Honor Pad X9a Stand Out?

Honor’s budget tablets typically focus on providing a large display, decent battery life, and smooth performance for everyday tasks like browsing, media consumption, and online learning. The Pad X9a to build on this foundation, possibly offering:

• A similar or slightly upgraded Snapdragon processor for improved performance
• More RAM and storage options to enhance multitasking
• A better camera setup to cater to video calls and basic photography needs
• Optimized software experience with MagicOS based on the latest Android version

Conclusion
