HONORPad 8 12-inch Wi-Fi Tablet (Octa-Core Processers, 4+128GB Storage, 2K FullView Display, 8 Speakers, Android 12), Blue Hour

I ordered this Honor 8 tablet to display my home assistant screen in my lounge. I was currently using an old iPad but the more i expanded my home automation screen i needed a bigger screen real estate to show all my different settings. The iPad at 9.7" rapidly ran out of screen space! I didn't want to spend a lot on a new tablet as it would purely be used for running home assistant only. This was one of the very few tablets available that had a 12" screen for under £200.The tablet is very smart and feels premium when removed from the packaging. Set up is very simple as it is based on Android OS and once my google account was registered it was up and running within about 10 mins. The tablet did 3 updates to the OS after this. Screen quality is excellent, vivid and bright, the 12" scree size is excellent, and even though it has a much bigger screen than my iPad it genuinely didn't feel any bigger when holding it. Processor speed appears good and i experianced no lag on any apps i tried or with screen animations. Sound quality is excellent, crisp, clear and loud.For a budget tablet you can not beat this - i am amazed at the quality you get for the sub £200 mark.Highly recommend to others.

Have been impressed with what this Honor Tablet offers for a budget price range!It's a good all rounder, does everything you need from a tablet. I don't use a pen/keyboard so can't comment on that side of things.Will list what this tablet does good and a few minor shortfalls but can't grumble too much at price of tablet to be honest...Plus points ++ Huge 12" HD IPS display with reasonable brightness, Full Widevine Support for apps like Netflix. 60HZ which is decent enough.+ Long lasting battery, battery lasts between 10/12 hours roughly depending what you are doing which is very good considering the price of tablet.+ Also good for some basic gaming on the go/in your hands. Tested GTA games, COD Mobile just a few which play decent on this. More demanding games like Genshin Impact and PUBG do still play on low settings but cannot grumble too much considering the cost of this budget tablet.+ Speakers deliver excellent sound for Movies, Gaming, Music and Video/Audio calls. Clear audio with some bass and no distortion at all! Would say the speakers are easily one of this tablets best features!+ So far the UI/System software has been a decent experience. No complaints from my experience. Free security updates and software updates.+ Full Google Store and all the essential apps needed, I have found only a few apps which state are not compatible with this device. Usually ones that require fully built in GPS which this tablet doesn't have it uses Internet to find your location so if you don't have internet then no access to finding your location/maps.+ Performance mode, which maximises RAM and CPU for multitasking and gaming. Always activate this for best experience, battery drains a little quicker but worth it. Leave off if not multitasking/gaming for more battery life.Negative Points - (not many thankfully)- Sometimes I have found the gyro/auto screen rotation to be wonky at times, I have tried disabling the auto rotate button to see if it would stop being so sensitive but didn't seem to change the occasional issue when it came to this. Maybe could be sorted in a software update, just seems very sensitive and occasionally struggles to understand how you are holding tablet in your hands or what way it is placed.- I don't feel the fast charging with the tablet is that fast in my opinion, maybe I am too used to ultra charging with my mobile but the tablet will take time to fully charge and I recommend when it needs charged try to do it overnight/when not in use as it can take a good few hours at least and if you are using tablet it can be slower. As said above tho in positives when battery is fully charged it at least lasts most of the day depending on usage thankfully.- Some apps aren't supported, those that require built in GPS for example as the tablet does not have built in GPS. It uses the internet to find your precise location. Tablet would need to be constantly connected to internet to find your location, if disconnected it will be unable to determine location.- No 120HZ display with Honor 8, would have made everything buttery smooth. 60HZ does a reasonable job for price of tablet but would be nice to see a faster display in next Honor tablet!- RAM is limited on Honor 8 so limits how much multitasking smoothly can be done, you have to activate Performance mode to get the most out of limited RAM/CPU/GPU built in which reduces battery life but I highly recommend doing this for gaming in particular and multitasking.Final Summary -Overall one of the BEST budget tablets currently on the market, does for me everything you would want and need from a budget tablet and then some more!It delivers on almost every aspect you would expect for a tablet of this price range, just don't expect all the bells and whistles that the more expensive tablets have on the market and you will be very happy with the Honor 8 Tablet!I think Honor have excelled with this tablet, excellent in particular for movies/YouTube, music and mobile gaming (apart from demanding mobile games like Genshin Impact and PUBG which must be played on lowest settings only but you can still play them on this tablet) most of the games I tested worked well overall I am delighted to say!Cameras/Mics are decent for basic video/audio calling and some basic snaps but don't expect too much as cameras are really for more basic use, use your phone/digital camera for those high quality photos instead as this will take okay photos at best.The speakers are top notch and easily one of the tablets strongest points here!So overall even with just a few minor negatives listed above I have to award the Honor 8 5 stars!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Because of the superb price and everything the tablet offers here, I could have taken one star off with a few of the negatives but that wouldn't be fair at all really for one of the best budget tablets currently on the market. If you can accept the few limitations for the price point I have mentioned above then in my opinion you will LOVE this tablet and get much from it in my opinion!👍Well done Honor, please keep up the great work and bring more fantastic tablets/phones to the market in future please!😎

Just want to add a quick update, I've had the tablet for a week now and can report that it is fast to charge, the battery last all day, alternating watching YouTube, and prime shows and playing RPG Games.Lightweight, so is not tiring to hold in either landscape or portrait mode.Audio, is beautiful, have listened to music from Mozart to Moby and the sound is big and deep.This tablet is fantastic value and most importantly does not come loaded with bloatware unlike some manufacturers I could mention.Honor are known for good quality tech, and this tablet does not disappoint in any way. The sound and picture quality is second to none. This is a very fast, responsive tablet, I've tried out watching video, done some art editing and gaming and can't complain, no glitching or slowing down at any point. Really love the multi windows and floating apps makes switching back and forth so easy, and the screen size is just right.I suppose for some the lack of headphone jack maybe an issue but most have Bluetooth nowadays so may not be that much of an issue.For the price I don't think you would get another tablet this high spec unless you paid out for a Samsung or other type in that league.

Overall this tablet is very impressive for the price. I'm no tech geek so I don't speak the language, but I really like the image and sound quality of this device, and it does everything I want it to do extremely well. The only things I am missing from my previous tablet are the SD card drawer and the audio out port. Yes I know you can do those things via Bluetooth or the USB C port, but that involves buying extra gadgets. Battery life seems to be very good at this stage, but no doubt that will deteriorate over time like they all do. I would definitely recommend this tablet, and would also highly recommend buying the Vakarey brand case for it, which is extremely good quality and fits perfectly.

Really good product. Very easy to set up. Charges quickly on super charge. Has Google play so there are plenty of apps to download.Took a few photos indoors which were very good. Haven't had the chance to try taking photos outdoors yet. Great to have such a large screen. Makes reading books on the kindle app easy. Played a couple shows from the TV apps. Very good picture and sound. I would definitely recommend this tablet.
