Honor India is all set to launch the new Honor Pad X9 tablet in the country, thereby ending months of speculation about the brand reentering India.
There is a dedicated listing on Amazon of the Honor Pad X9, which confirms its online availability.
The tablet debuted globally earlier this month and we are guessing the hardware will be similar.
This could be the first product launch from Honor under Madhav Sheth, who recently quit Realme.
However, Honor or Sheth are yet to formally announce their association, although a trademark listing for the company under Sheth’s name virtually confirms it.
HONOR has started teasing the launch of HONOR Pad X9, the company’s next tablet in India, on Amazon.in, after the global launch of the tablet earlier this month.
The teaser says that the company will offer a free HONOR Flip cover with the tablet, which should be a limited-period launch offer.
The HONOR Pad X9 will come with an 11.5-inch 120Hz 2K HONOR Fullview display, 86% Screen-To-Body Ratio, 100%s RGB Color Gamut and up to 400 nits peak brightness.
The tablet is powered by Snapdragon 685 6nm SoC with 4GB of RAM, 3GB of virtual RAM and 128GB of storage.
The tablet runs Android 13 with MagicOS 7.1 on top, comes with a 5MP rear and front cameras, has a 6-speaker design along with a lightweight subwoofer unit that can create a multi-directional sound field from the bottom speaker, according to the company.
The HONOR Pad X9 packs a 7250mAh battery that promises about 13 hours of local video playback with a full charge.
The tablet is already on sale in Europe of 199.90 Euros (USD 224 / Rs. 18,450 approx.).
