The tablet runs on MagicOS 8.0, based on Android 14, offering a smooth and responsive user interface.
Battery life won’t be an issue with its substantial 10,050mAh battery, which supports 35W fast charging to quickly get back to full power. The audio experience is enhanced by its four speakers and four tweeters, providing rich and immersive sound.
For photography enthusiasts, the Honor Pad 9 Pro is equipped with a 13MP rear camera and a 5MP front-facing camera, suitable for video calls and basic photography.
