| The Honor Pad X10 Pro is a new mid-range Android tablet with an 11.5-inch screen |
Honor is doubling down on the competitive tablet market with not one, but two new Android slates. The headliner is the Honor Pad 10 Pro, a premium, productivity-focused device that aims to be your next laptop replacement. Alongside it arrives the Honor Pad X10 Pro, a more budget-conscious option that makes strategic cuts to hit a lower price point. Let's dive into what makes these new tablets tick.
The New Flagship: Honor Pad 10 Pro
Honor is positioning the Pad 10 Pro as a versatile powerhouse. It builds upon the foundation of the Pad 10 but adds pro-level features designed for creators, students, and professionals on the go.
A Display Built for Speed and Clarity
The centerpiece is an impressive 11.5-inch IPS panel. It boasts a super-smooth 144Hz refresh rate, making scrolling and gaming feel exceptionally fluid. With a sharp resolution of 2800 x 1840 pixels and a brightness of 500 nits, it promises vibrant colors and solid visibility even in brighter conditions. For creative work, it offers full compatibility with an optional stylus for note-taking and sketching.
Slim Design, Robust Features
Honor has packed this performance into a remarkably slim chassis. The tablet is just 0.24 inches thick and weighs a light 1.05 lbs, enhancing its portability. Despite the slim profile, it houses a large 10,100mAh battery that supports fast 66-watt USB-C charging. The quad-speaker system, tuned for immersive audio, makes it a great device for streaming movies and video calls.
For those looking to truly replace their laptop, Honor offers a keyboard case with a trackpad. Paired with the raw power of the MediaTek Dimensity 8350 chipset—featuring a top boost clock of 3.35GHz—the Pad 10 Pro is built to handle multitasking and more demanding applications with ease.

Software and Cameras
The Pad 10 Pro launches with Honor MagicOS 10, based on the latest Android 16. For photography, it’s equipped with a 13MP rear camera and an 8MP front-facing camera for video conferences.
The Value Proposition: Honor Pad X10 Pro
For buyers who want a large-screen experience without breaking the bank, the Honor Pad X10 Pro enters the fray. It shares the 11.5-inch screen size but steps down to a 120Hz refresh rate, a 2508 x 1504 pixel resolution, and 400 nits of brightness. This should still provide a very enjoyable media consumption experience.
The compromises continue under the hood. It’s powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 685 processor, which is significantly less powerful than the Dimensity 8350 in the Pro model. The battery is smaller at 8,300mAh, and the camera system uses an 8MP main and 5MP selfie sensor. It also launches with the older Android 15 out of the box.

Price, Availability, and Final Thoughts
The initial launch market for both tablets is China. The Honor Pad X10 Pro starts at an attractive price of approximately $193 for the base model with 8GB RAM and 128GB of storage.
The more capable Honor Pad 10 Pro carries a higher premium, priced at around $360 for a configuration with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. Honor has not yet announced pricing or availability for other global markets.
The Bottom Line:
Honor's new duo offers a clear choice. The Pad 10 Pro is a compelling all-rounder for users seeking top-tier performance, a brilliant display, and laptop-like versatility. The Pad X10 Pro, meanwhile, is a strategic entry for those who prioritize screen real estate and core functionality at a very accessible price, accepting trade-offs in performance, cameras, and charging speed. This two-pronged approach allows Honor to compete aggressively at both ends of the mid-range tablet spectrum.
