The screen, the processor, battery, the ui, the speakers, everything runs well and for the price it's close to impossible to find anything better. Just buy it and you will not be disappointed. I can guarantee you will be blown away. It is as good as a 400 eur device.

                  This has replaced a tablet that my kid was using for the last 3 years - Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 from 2019. We bought the Samsung tablet for £209 in 2020 and now the Honor Pad X9 for £179. I can't believe they can make it this good and this cheap when everything else has doubled in price since Brexit and Covid. The quality of the display, speakers, processor, battery, everything is just unbelievable. It's that good, and not just for the price. I'm sure comparing it to Samsung Galaxy Tab S9, which costs £1200, there will be some drawbacks. But honestly, I've used it myself for the last 2 days, setting it up, installing a gazillion games, browsing, and playing movies on Netflix, Disney Plus, Paramount, Amazon prime video, YouTube, YouTube Kids, and it handles everything without a hiccup. By hiccup, I don't mean a slight stutter when switching between apps while having 15 apps open at the same time. What I mean is that the tablet doe not freeze for a few seconds every time you try to open a game, switch between apps etc. This is how the Samsung Tab A8 from only a few years ago behaved. The Honor Pad X9 is lightning fast in comparison. The screen is great, the brightness is strong enough for outside use outside and perfect when used inside. There are reflections on the screen from light sources as on any glossy display. The metal body is well-built from a single aluminium slab. The WiFi works great on 5Ghz and 2.4GHz, Bluetooth connects immediately to my earbuds and the 6 speakers on this tablet are mind-blowingly good. Again, I'm comparing it to the old Samsung Tab A8 that had two tiny muffled speakers on the side. The Honor tablet sounds crystal clear for spoken word, great for music, there are two speakers on each side and another two at the bottom. The best thing is that you can hear the sound focused towards you. When watching movies, the two bottom-firing speakers are actually pushing the sound towards you so you can clearly hear every word without it being extremely loud. It doesn't have Dolby Atmos certification, but playing some of the Dolby Atmos videos on YouTube gives you a great surround sound experience. You can hear the sound going around each of the speakers, mimicking as much as they can the feeling of the sound in front of you, at the back, left and right. Browsing webpages is stutter-free. The cameras on the back and front are usable but not comparable to a flagship phone. All this for £179 is a steal! If you need a tablet for movies, music, browsing, and not too-demanding gaming, then buy it. It's amazing. I almost forgot the battery lasted a whole day when browsing and watching movies. The only thing I miss is a double tap to wake up. But if you get the Flip case from Honor, it will wake up when you open the cover.

                      What a horrible device, other than software it has nothing to offer, the Xiaomi pad 6 is way better

                          Horribly underpowered chipset. Unless you want better software, Redmi Pad is miles ahead.

                            I was going to pre order. However, I'm now eagerly waiting for your Review 😎.

                            and please test how many Apps it can handle at once, not heavy apps just daily use apps with freezing them in background.

                            🤞

                            + What do you mean by we were expecting a good oomph from 6 speakers ?

                            Volume or Bass ?

                                Go waste.. I mean spend your money instead and buy Galaxy Tab S9...

                                Problem = Solved

                                  This is a device from 2017, not from 2023.

                                  Horrible display resolution, low RAM, low storage, no cellular.

                                    10W charger???

                                      Hey, it's 685 chip, not 695.
                                      685 is 40% less powerful on average.

                                        hard to argue with the price, 250 EUR seems like a good deal. you could get a refurbished 2019 iPad for about as much as an alternative, but only the paltry 32GB version which would only suffice if you're mostly streaming content. Apple probably offers much better software support than Honor does, but even then it's uncertain for how much longer Apple is gonna support a device from 2019
