![]() However, I'll also admit that I wouldn't really store a huge deal on the device. ![]() I have to admit to being a little bit disappointed by the lack of a micro-SD tray to expand the Pad 8's storage. They're never going to be used for taking "proper" photos, but work fine for Google Meet calls (front camera), and for scanning documents or taking images quickly during note-taking on the tablet with the rear-facing sensor.įinally, the storage space. The Pad 8's cameras are fine for their practical uses. No faffing around with stupid Bluetooth menus for me! Obviously Bluetooth headphones also sound great, and the Pad 8 features Honor's instant pairing tool, so when I pop my Honor Earbuds 3 Pro case open, I get an instant pairing request from the Pad 8. Firing up Fear-E's latest release- Clydesdale Tales-the sound definition surprised me, even through the loudspeakers. My Kindle Fire HD 10 sounds nowhere near as good as the Pad 8, to make a comparison. The Honor Pad 8, however, has surpassed my expectations in terms of loudspeaker audio, and has set the bar high in terms of speaker quality on tablets. These are often some sort of cursory inclusion, like the manufacturer has just remembered to throw some speakers inside the chassis, and they're often a horrible, tinny mess as a result. On the audio front, I was quite surprised by the quality of the loudspeakers on the tablet. These look simply beautiful on the Pad 8's display, and I've been working my way through the 540 sumptuously illustrated pages of Jodorowsky and Giminez' Metabarons omnibus with aplomb. ![]() I also use Kindle Unlimited, as it has a nice selection of graphic novels that I can read. While the likes of Xbox's cloud gaming service and PlayStation's Remote Play function work passably on the Pad 8, I found the device struggled a little, graphically, when I was playing Chorus on Xbox Cloud Gaming. The Pad 8 is also capable when it comes to playing some games, although don't expect to be running resource-intensive games like the procedurally generating No Man's Sky. So, great battery performance even when the battery is powering that LCD screen. LCD screens are also known to consume more battery than an OLED equivalent, although I found the 7850mAh battery more than capable of providing enough juice for 2-3 days of regular use, with multiple app types operated during that time. However, remember this is an LCD display, so you're not going to get those deep blacks like you would with an OLED. Plus, everything looks stunning on the 2K screen. I use Prime Video, Now TV, and Netflix, and everything I watched streamed perfectly, without a hitch. In terms of media streaming, the Pad 8 performs well here, too. I tested Meet, and the front-facing camera was more than capable of displaying my face and the mess in the office behind me, so again this makes the case for the Pad 8 as a productivity partner for use away from the desk. On a further productivity tip, the tablet works well for video calling, so Google Meet, Zoom, and Teams should all work fine for you. Scrolling through menus with multiple background apps running also shows no sign of stuttering or hanging. ![]() If it breaks, return it and we'll replace it for free with our 2-year worry-free guarantee.The tablet can run multiple apps at once without showing signs of lagging, further bolstering the device's productivity chops.Stay in touch: children can make voice and video calls and send announcements over Wi-Fi to approved contacts with an Alexa-enabled device or the Alexa app. ![]()
