Honor announced a new flagship tablet today. Called the Honor Tab V7 Pro, it is the first device to be powered by the MediaTek Kompanio 1300T chipset. Alongside the tablet, Honor also announced two accessories for the tablet – the Honor Magic Floating Keyboard Case and the Magic-Pencil 2 stylus. Here are their features and price tags:
Honor Magic Floating Keyboard Case
The Honor Magic Floating Keyboard Case might as well be the best of keyboard cases from a Chinese manufacturer, at least compared to that of Xiaomi’s Mi Pad 5 series and that of the Lenovo Xiaoxin Pad Pro 2021 but it is also the most expensive of the three.
The keyboard case has a floating design like that of the iPad Pro’s Magic Keyboard. When attached, the tablet can be adjusted between 90º and 120°. Unlike the Mi Pad 5’s keyboard case, there is a trackpad and it supports gestures. Users will be able to switch between open apps and windows, enter multi-tasking mode, and return to the desktop all with a three-finger gesture.
Another interesting feature of the keyboard case is a garage for the Magic-Pencil 2. This garage not only stores the stylus but also charges it. Other features of the keyboard case include a 1.3mm key travel and a dedicated microphone button for voice-to-text dictation in multiple languages including English.
The Honor Magic Floating Keyboard Case is priced at ¥799 (~$123) which is significantly higher than the ¥499 (~$77) Lenovo charges for its own keyboard case and the ¥399 (~$62) price tag of the Mi Pad 5’s own keyboard case.
Honor Magic-Pencil 2
The Honor Magic-Pencil 2 is the companion stylus for the Honor Tab V7 Pro tablet. It has a cylindrical design with a replaceable nib and comes in black. It costs ¥499 (~$77), making it more expensive than the ¥299 (~$47) Xiaoxin Active Capacitive Pen and the ¥349 (~$54) Mi Pad Stylus.
The stylus has 4096-levels of pressure sensitivity, 8ms latency, and a battery life that goes up to 15 hours. Users will be able to charge it by placing it on top of the Honor V7 Pro or inside the garage of the keyboard case. A full charge takes 1 hour. Honor also says that the Magic-Pencil 2 can be connected to up to four Honor V7 Pro tablets at the same time.
The Honor Magic-Pencil 2 is also compatible with the Honor V6 tablet.
