Honor Tablets Price in Nepal

Honor Tablets Overview

Honor has two tablets currently available in the Nepali market, the Honor Pad X9a and the Honor Pad X7. But the thing is, both of these tablets sit firmly in the budget segment, competing mostly with Xiaomi and Samsung. So, there are no flagship tablets currently available in the market even though we will soon see the likes of MagicPad 3 in  Nepal, which sits at a premium, albeit not flagship range.

Coming back to what we have right now, the price gap between them is merely Rs. 6,000. But despite almost identical pricing, it does translate to meaningful differences in screen size, performance, and features. Both run Android 15 out of the box, which is surprisingly up-to-date for this price range. And both come with Honor's MagicOS interface layered on top.

Design and Display

The display situation varies considerably between these two tablets. The Honor Pad X9a gives you an 11.5-inch LCD screen with 2,508 x 1,504 pixel resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. That's a decently sized large display that can help you with smooth scrolling, which makes reading and browsing feel premium. But the brightness game is quite weak here with a mere 400 nits peak brightness. The issue here is that you'll indeed manage indoors, but direct sunlight will have you squinting.

The Honor Pad X7 features a much smaller, compact 8.7-inch display. It has a lower 1340 x 800 resolution but compensates with 625 nits peak brightness and a 90Hz refresh rate. The higher brightness makes outdoor use more practical, but that HD+ resolution on an 8.7-inch screen means text won't look as sharp. You'll notice the pixels if you're paying attention.

Both tablets use LCD panels, not OLED. That means decent colors but not the deep blacks or infinite contrast you'd get from more expensive displays. For Netflix and YouTube, they're perfectly fine. For photo editing or color-critical work, just look elsewhere.

Design-wise, the X9a features a dual-tone gray finish with a metal-look appearance that punches above its price. The X7 is notably more portable at just 365g and 7.99mm thick. Honor claims it's passed 42 reliability tests, including drop resistance and steel ball impact. 

Performance and Camera

As said earlier, the Honor tablet available in Nepal isn’t a particularly performance machine. The Honor Pad X9a runs a Snapdragon 685 chipset with 8GB RAM (virtually expandable to 16GB) and 128GB storage. The Snapdragon 685 is a basic 6nm processor that handles YouTube, Netflix, and light multitasking, but if you are aware, the Snapdragon chipset is virtually an un-gamble chipset. PUBG Mobile will run, but you'll need to dial down graphics settings for a playable experience.

The Honor Pad X7 uses an even older Snapdragon 680 with up to 6GB RAM and 128GB storage (expandable via microSD). That processor is four years old at this point. It's built for basic tasks like social media, web browsing, and video calls. Anything more demanding and you'll notice lag. Neither tablet is a multitasking beast in any meaningful sense of the word. If you're planning to run multiple heavy apps, edit videos, or play demanding games, these aren't for you. But for online classes, document viewing, and content consumption, they're adequate.

The camera situation is equally modest across both tablets. The X9a has an 8MP rear camera and 5MP front camera. The X7 mirrors this with an 8MP rear and 5MP front setup. These are utility cameras, hence they are only good enough for basic video calls or scanning documents, nothing more. The quality is functional at best, poor in low light, and disappointing by modern smartphone standards.

Battery, Charging, and Features

But battery capacity is quite big here. The Honor Pad X9a packs an 8,300mAh battery with 35W fast charging. Honor claims up to 70 days of standby time, and the battery gets it juice from a 35W charger. 

Similarly, the Honor Pad X7 houses a 7,020mAh battery, which is still decent for the size. You're looking at 2-3 days of moderate use easily. But the compromise is it only supports 10W charging, and a full charge would easily takes 3-4 hours.  Both tablets are Wi-Fi only. No cellular connectivity option exists on either model. If you need mobile data on the go, you'll need to tether to your phone.

Both tablets include standard features like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.1, and stereo speakers. Nothing revolutionary, but everything you need for daily use.

Who Are These Tablets For?

It should be extremely obvious that the Honor tablet scene in Nepal (or at least right now) is just mostly for young students. The tablets available work well for online classes, note-taking, PDF reading, and research. And you are just someone who primarily watches streaming services the the large screens will of great use. It goes without saying that, given their display quality, neither tablet will blow you away with picture quality, but for Netflix, YouTube, and similar platforms, they're pretty adequate as it gets..
