Honor may launch new tablet in India after long time, Pad 8 likely

Honor, which tore off from Huawei to become an independent brand, is planning to launch a new product in India after a long time. The brand could introduce the Honor Pad 8 in India soon with the same specifications as its international counterpart, which was launched in July.

That would make it a direct competitor to the Realme Pad X, which comes with a Snapdragon 695 processor.
