Honor8User, 24 Oct 2023This is a decent tab at 18k rupees price range. Pros: 1. ... moreIt can play 1080p 60fps content with no issues, if you factor in that you'd view a 12-inch screened tablet further than you would a mobile phone then the 194ppi rating does not hinder viewing content. I own this tablet and use it daily for streaming content on YouTube, Netflix, Prime, Twitch and Disney+. If you want to watch 4k files, then this won't work even if using VLC Media player, however if you screencast to a 4k capable monitor / Television, 4k playback is perfect, with next to no stuttering.

CamoGeko-XDA, 06 Feb 2024Wow so the screen is that bad huh??
I was thinking of ge... moreYou can take it's very bad if the tablet's ppi is lower than 224 ppi for 10" display. If the tablet's display is 11 inches, ppi should be 274 ppi. Lower than that, it's not good for watching movies and/or reading.
If you want to watch movies, I recommend to buy tablets with at least 274 ppi and 11" display like Xiaomi Pad 5 or Pad 6 (I don't have pad 6 but I think it'd be okay based on it's specifications). If you can't afford high ends, go for tablets with at least 224 ppi and 10" display. Lower than what I just told you, it's not good for watching movies.
P.S. The advice I gave you is based on my own experience.

This is a decent tab at 18k rupees price range.
Pros:
1. Best thing is the speaker set. 8 speakers. amazing bass. amazing depth. Such a pleasure to listen to.!!
2. Stylus Support - you can use active stylus for proper writing experience
3. decent performance - sd680+ ufs 2.2 + 4gb ram is ok for most day-to-day tasks.
4. excellent built with metalic body.
5. OTG
6. good UI
7. decent battery
Cons:
1. bad bad display. ppi is below 200 for such a big display. hence you might even see pixelated videos. poor contrast and colour.
2. no SD card. 128 is still ok for many. but since no sim they could have given sd. otg is a practical solution but still sd card remains a lack.
3. sd680 is not very good for higher-resource tasks. first of all its built for day-to-day mobiles. for a 12 inch device its not very capable. an option with G99, Exynos Tablet series like G90T, or SD 695/7xx would have been better. (there are G99 tablets under 20k).
4. 4gb ram is adequate but that's it.
not very promising there. 6gb ram 256 storage option would have been an ideal pick.
verdict:
for everyday casual usage like email, browsing, document works, YouTube etc. its good. especially the speakers. (movie maniacs may not appreciate the display though). but ok for the price.

I seem to have developed horizontal lines across the entire screen about 1cm apart. Has anyone else got this issue?

Use it more than 6 months. Very satisfy. While using browser to make this comment in one window, another window is processing the AI image generator. In the background is the music player app that transmits the signal to the BT speaker. In the foreground at right upper corner, the minimized Note app is floting there.
No SIM is not a great deal. I, for one, will NOT use the 12" tablet to make a phone call. For the net-demand apps, just connect it to the smartphone which I always carry it everywhere.
The provided 128 GB ROM is also morenthan enough to my need. The 512 GB usb-c flash drive is able to hold those less-used files. I'm the geek who loves to store garbages for nothing.
The worst of this tablet is Honor Camera App (HCA). The cam itself is bad enough, just only 5MP. HCA kill it by saving the image at 80% JPG !!!
However, ANY 4.5+ -rating camera app from Playstore solves the problem radicall & yeasily. I suggest Open Camera or HD2023 camera. Saving as 95% JPG or (better) PNG to gives it the justice.
Funny is Honor Gallery App. It's lightyear above Samsung Gallery app.
After you browse to get the image you like, you can open the simple internal editor to edit it, or the better external editor you get from playstore. No need to close gallery, open external app, browse the images again to find your like before editing it.
Buy it. Use it, now love it.

Why everyone is complaining about SD Card and 4G Connectivity in this Pad while it's the same happening with iPads from Apple and everyone is running for them and great them so much...
They do have wifi only versions and never tried to give you SD card option in iPads or even iPhones ;)
