Düsseldorf – September 08, 2026 -- HONOR has expanded its tablet lineup with three new models: the HONOR Pad 20, HONOR Pad 20 Pro, and HONOR Pad X9 Max, targeting everyone from students to power users.
The Pad 20 packs a 12.1-inch 3K display with eye-comfort tech
The HONOR Pad 20 features a 12.1-inch, 3K display at 292 ppi with up to 120 Hz refresh rate and 700 nits peak brightness, running MagicOS 10 in a 6.29 mm all-metal body starting at 525 grams. The device includes AI Defocus Eye Comfort, which the company says improved transient myopia by an average of 13 degrees across more than 2,000 tested scenarios, alongside a circadian night display, hardware-level blue light filtering, and motion-sickness relief rated 89 percent effective for on-the-go use.
Connecting the optional Smart Bluetooth Keyboard switches the Pad 20 into a PC Mode with a desktop interface, taskbar, and up to 15 resizable windows. Native iWork-to-Microsoft-Office file conversion and an AI Notes feature that generates meeting transcripts are built into the system.
An Octa-Core Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 chip delivers 15 percent higher CPU efficiency and 50 percent higher GPU efficiency than its predecessor. The 10,100 mAh battery supports up to 71 days of standby, 9 hours of video playback, 50 hours of music, or 14 hours of e-book reading, and charges from 0 to 100 percent in about 106 minutes.
The Pad 20 Pro adds a 165 Hz screen and Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chip
The HONOR Pad 20 Pro uses the same 12.1-inch 3K panel but pushes the refresh rate to 165 Hz, scaling dynamically across five levels. It runs on the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 Mobile Platform with 8 GB of RAM, 256 GB of storage, and Wi-Fi 7 support, all inside a 277.07 mm x 179.28 mm x 6.29 mm metal chassis weighing about 537 grams. The same 10,100 mAh battery provides up to 9 hours of local video playback, and the tablet adds three- and four-way split-screen templates for multitasking.
The Pad X9 Max targets families with a 13-inch IMAX Enhanced display
The HONOR Pad X9 Max introduces a 13-inch, 120 Hz, 2.5K display carrying IMAX Enhanced certification, paired with a quad-speaker system offering a 200 percent volume boost and DTS processing. Despite its size, the aluminum unibody tablet measures 6.72 mm thick and weighs 618 grams. It runs on a 10,100 mAh battery with up to 18 GB of RAM through HONOR's RAM Turbo technology, 256 GB of internal storage, and microSD expansion up to 2 TB.
Optional accessories across the lineup include the HONOR Magic-Pencil 4s stylus, which supports 4,096 pressure levels and weighs about 10 grams, plus a Smart Bluetooth Keyboard that doubles as a protective cover.
