Listen to article

The HONOR Pad X8a is an affordable tablet designed for students and casual users, featuring an 11-inch FHD display with a 90Hz refresh rate and a sleek aluminum body. Priced at PHP 7,999, with an early bird offer of PHP 6,999, it aims to deliver a balance between essential features and cost-effectiveness.
