Today let's talk about the Honor Pad 8, the industry's first 12-inch high-definition eye-care full-screen tablet computer with the unique stereo eight-speaker system in the same class!

Targeting Family Entertainment and Education

First, let's take a look at the positioning of the Honor Pad 8. What is it? That's right, it's aimed at the general public, focusing on entertainment and education. Nowadays, almost every family has a smartphone, but having a computer for each person is less likely. If there is a tablet computer that can meet the needs of the family for watching dramas, following variety shows, children's online classes, and entertainment, that would be great.

Impressive Features

The Honor Pad 8 is exactly such a product. It comes with the all-new Honor Magic UI 6.1 system, supporting features like split-screen, smart multi-window, and multi-screen collaboration, with a built-in Education Center app, providing a more immersive learning experience for students of all ages. Additionally, its 12-inch 2K high-definition eye-care screen has a screen-to-body ratio of 87%, offering excellent eye protection.

This 12-inch large screen has extremely narrow bezels, only 7.2mm thick, and a weight of only 520g, making it feel very light in hand. With its metal body being more sturdy, children feel more secure using it—although it's still recommended to use a protective case for added protection.

The 12-inch screen has a 2K resolution, with Rhenish hardware anti-blue light and triple authoritative eye protection certification. Its wider 5:3 screen ratio and 2000*1200 resolution better match mainstream video resources' 16:9 size. The brightness of this screen reaches 400nit, making it visible even when used outdoors, as long as it's not under direct sunlight.

Versatile Camera and Eye-Care

Moreover, coupled with the unique stereo eight-speaker system (four 1620 and four 1217 speakers) with high and low frequency division, the audio range is broader, making the teacher's voice in online classes louder and clearer, and making watching dramas and movies more vivid and lifelike.

Both front and rear cameras are 500W pixels. Since the Honor Pad 8 focuses on education scenarios, the rear camera's role is significant, such as entering wrong answers or checking words, which cannot be done without its help. This camera supports autofocus, and the photo quality is acceptable when tested in outdoor scenes with sufficient light.

Returning to talk about the eye-care function of this screen, influenced by the environment, long-term online learning can easily expose problems such as visual fatigue and improper sitting posture. Addressing this pain point, the Honor Pad 8 not only achieves blue light protection in hardware, but also achieves extreme vision protection in software, such as specialized vision protection settings, distance reminders, lying posture reminders, light sensitivity reminders, and jitter reminders. The distance reminder, as the name suggests, prompts when the child is too close to the tablet; there are also reminders for using the tablet while lying down, in low-light environments, or in scenarios with shaking, such as playing with a tablet in a car.

Seamless Connectivity and Multi-Screen Collaboration

Of course, the interconnection capability of Honor devices is also a plus. Honor smartphones, tablets, notebooks, and smart screens can perform multi-screen collaborative operations, enhancing work efficiency. The screen of the Honor Pad 8 is 12 inches, equivalent to four times the size of a smartphone screen! Simply connect the phone to the tablet, and you can drag and drop pictures and files between them, and watch videos from the phone on the tablet—how convenient!

Feeling that a 12-inch tablet is not enough? Through the wireless screen projection function, the Honor Pad 8 can quickly project content to a larger screen for watching videos and sharing with others. Meanwhile, tablet notifications such as messages and alarms will be displayed only on the phone by default, ensuring privacy protection.

So, is Honor Pad 8 worth buying? Priced at less than 200 euros, I personally think it's very sincere. After all, a 12-inch high-definition eye-care screen and stereo eight-speakers at this price are unique, with top-notch audiovisual effects, even outperforming higher-priced products.
