Honor Pad X8b - 7 million VND tablet with child mode

Launched with the Honor 600 series near-high-end phones, the Pad X8b tablet is in the lower segment, aimed at entertainment, simple usage needs or for children. This is a slight upgrade of the X8a launched last year with screen improvements, great battery life advantages and a new Android operating system.

With a price of 7.1 million VND, the X8b avoids competing with the cheapest iPad models as well as the main lines of Huawei and Xiaomi priced at 10 million VND.

The X8b uses a monolithic aluminum shell like its predecessor, a material rarely seen with tablets in its price range. The design of the device is minimalist with the highlight on the back being the protruding camera cluster. Weighs 496 grams and is 7.3 mm thin, slightly more than the iPad 2025 (477 grams and 7 mm). Tablets from Honor and Apple have the same 11-inch screen but different proportions.

The design lines of the X8b are not different from the X8a, but Honor says the aluminum frame's durability is significantly improved. The device has four external speakers with the advantage of high volume and quite good soundstage, but the bass is a bit weak and volume above 70% will reduce clarity quite clearly. At a low price range, the X8b is still equipped with the ability to play high-quality Hi-Res 24 bit/192 kHz wireless audio.

The device uses dual-band Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac connection, Bluetooth 5.0. In addition to the USB-C charging port, Honor's tablet also has a microSD card slot, an increasingly rare feature on phones and tablets today.

A special feature of Pad X8b is the pre-installed Honor Kids mode specifically for children. Here, parents can set an access password, limit usage time with each software as well as prevent children from using the main screen interface for adults. Compared to competitors with the same features, the X8b also has the ability to remind children when their eyes look at the tablet too closely, and a black and white effect when the time of use is over.

The Android operating system in general and the Apple iPad both have a child mode, but the device will then be limited to children only. Meanwhile, tablets with children's mode in the form of pre-installed software like X8b are suitable for families who share a device and need additional control tools when giving the device to children to play with.

11-inch screen with Full HD + resolution (1,920 x 1,200 pixels), 90 Hz scan frequency like X8a but upgraded brightness to 500 nits. This helps the device significantly reduce glare when used outdoors compared to its predecessor. The X8b has Google's highest DRM security certificate, Widevine L1, allowing you to watch Netflix and YouTube at the maximum supported screen resolution of Full HD.

The X8b retains the same rear and front cameras with the same 5 megapixel resolution as its predecessor. The quality of photos and videos is not outstanding, but it is understandable because of the low price, as well as this equipment is not used often on tablets. In Honor Kids mode, recording and photography features are available but with an interface that is more appealing to children.
