Honor has dropped official renders of the new WIN Pad. The company’s President of All-Scenario Product Line basically bragged that it can fit everything in a small handbag, which is a pretty clear signal that this thing is aimed at people who travel light, whether on business trips, weekends away, or just to avoid carrying a giant slab in their bag.
We’ll see the full thing on October 21 at the Honor WIN Esports Universe Carnival, where the company is also launching the WIN 2 series smartphones. Pre-orders in China are expected to open around mid-October.
From what’s leaked and confirmed so far, the tablet packs Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip, an 8.4″ OLED screen that can hit 240Hz, and an active cooling fan to keep it from throttling during long sessions. Screenshots and hands-on shots show the usual refresh rate options (60Hz, 120Hz, 240Hz), plus fan controls and ambient lighting customization. It’s coming in black and silver, and it’s Wi-Fi only, no cellular version planned.
The whole point of the WIN brand is building a proper gaming ecosystem. Fang Fei, President of the Product Line at Honor Terminal, said the suite will cover smartphones, this tablet, gaming laptops, headphones, and gamepads. They’re also planning accessories like cooling back clips, mice, adapters, and backpacks so players can build out a full setup.
That 8.4″ size is the interesting bit. Most tablets are bigger and bulkier. This one is trying to feel more handheld while still offering flagship-level power and active cooling.
