Honor Pad X8 Lite appears on company's website
The Honor Pad 8 debuted in China in July and now it"s making it global rollout the global market. Now, the company listed a Pad X8 Lite on its website that sounds like a more affordable option but after further inspection, we realized it is a renamed Honor Tab 7, down to the Helio P22T chipset and unimpressive user interface.
The device comes with a 9.7” LCD with a resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels. On the inside, the Mediatek chipset has 32GB storage to work with, which is far lower than the 128GB option Honor offered to its home crowd. RAM is not mentioned and we can only hope it is 4GB.
The camera on the back has a 5MP sensor and no flash. The front-facing camera for video calls has a 2MP resolution.
The user interface is Magic UI 6.1 based on Android 12. The Pad X8 Lite is TUV Rheinland certified for low blue light content
Other specs include two big speakers on the two short sides, a 5,100 mAh battery charged through a micro USB port, Bluetooth 5.1 and Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac. There’s no 3.5 mm audio jack.
The Honor Pad X8 Lite is listed in Neo Mint colors on the global website with no information on availability or whether it will have an LTE variant. Looking at how Tab 7 was priced in China last year, we can only assume this version will be priced under $200.
