Honor has introduced the Pad X9a as its latest mid-range tablet in Malaysia. The company isn’t making a big splash with the release, and it’s keeping pricing details under wraps too. But now that the tablet is listed on Honor Malaysia’s website, we’ve got the full rundown of its specs and features. So let’s walk through it. 

Honor Pad X9a Specifications

The Honor Pad X9a has an 11.5-inch LCD screen with 2.5K resolution (1504 x 2508 pixels) and a 120Hz refresh rate for smoother scrolling and animations. 

Under the hood, it runs on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 685 chipset, an entry-level processor fabricated on TSMC’s 6nm. Honor pairs this with 8GB of RAM which can be expanded virtually up to 8GB from the 128GB storage. However, the latter is not expandable, so users are limited to onboard storage.

For cameras, the Pad X9a keeps things basic with an 8MP rear sensor featuring autofocus and an f/2.0 aperture. On the front, a 5MP camera handles video calls and selfies. 

As is expected from tablets, camera hardware isn’t a focus here. But it should be sufficient for basic tasks like scanning documents or video conferencing.

Powering the device is an 8,300mAh battery, with support for 35W charging. Honor claims the tablet can last up to 70 days on standby, though real-world usage will likely vary.

The tablet supports Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.1 and works with Honor’s wireless keyboards and stylus accessories. It runs Android 15-based MagicOS 9.0 and supports a stylus as well as a Bluetooth keyboard. But you don’t get LTE or telco network support here. 

Honor has listed the Pad X9a in a single Gray color variant, but as mentioned earlier, pricing details are yet to be announced. Given its mid-range specs, it’s expected to compete with similarly priced tablets from brands like Samsung and Xiaomi.

Honor might be working on another budget tablet model. The company could be gearing up to launch the Honor Pad X9a soon as the tablet was just spotted on a certification platform in UAE. So here’s everything we know at the moment.

Honor Pad X9a Spotted on TDRA

The Chinese brand’s Honor Pad V9 model was spotted on TDRA certification just last month. And now, the Pad X9a model was also certified on this platform. It was seen carrying the ELN2-W29 model number. As per the online database, the Honor Pad X9a model that was certified is the WiFi only variant. Apart from this, no finer details were revealed on TDRA certification like its specifications, design, or launch details.

As the name suggests, this model appears to be the successor of the Honor Pad X8a that launched last year. So we can expect the upcoming tablet to have a few upgrades. To recall, the Honor Pad X8a sports a tall 11-inch TFT LCD display with a Full HD+ resolution and 90Hz refresh rate. Under the hood, it is equipped with the Snapdragon 680 SoC, which is paired with 4GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage.

A massive 8,300mAh battery pack powers this tablet. This cell is packed in a slim 7.25mm body that weighs 495 grams in weight. For photography, the rear features a 5MP shooter while the front houses a 5MP selfie camera. The Pad X8a also housed a quad speaker setup for an improved audio experience. Back in September 2024, the company released the tablet in a new Honor Pad X8a Nadal Kids edition as well.
