HONOR Announces Four New Devices, Available April 25th Onwards
Following the teaser announcement last week, HONOR Malaysia is now officially unveiling the new devices set to be available nationwide on April 25, 2024 onwards. The lineup consists of the new HONOR Pad 9 5G, HONOR X7b 5G, HONOR MagicBook X 16, and the HONOR Band 9.
The HONOR Pad 9, now available in the 5G variant, will cost RM1,799. This tablet features a 12.1-inch 2.5K 120Hz display with eye-care features like Dynamic Dimming and Circadian Night Display, which is TÜV-certified for its low blue light and flicker-free performance. It comes with 8 speakers onboard courtesy of the company’s Histen sound tuning, plus the Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 and 256GB of storage, and an 8,300mAh battery for all-day use.
For every purchase of the new Pad 9 5G tablet, customers can get the Smart Bluetooth Keyboard and HONOR CHOICE pencil as a bundle for the price (worth RM698). Alternatively, both Maxis and CelcomDigi offer telco plans with the tablet bundled via an additional price of RM47/month and RM1/month respectively. The Wi-Fi variant, which was launched earlier, costs RM1,499 and is available today.
Additionally, HONOR is also announcing a higher-end variant for the Pad X9 tablet, which will come with 8+5GB RAM and 256GB onboard storage. This makes for an improvement from the original model which comes with 4+3GB RAM and 128GB storage. It’ll cost RM1,199, available on the same day as all devices mentioned here.
Next is the HONOR X7b 5G, making it a second variant after the original, 4G-only X7b. The 5G capability is enabled via the new MediaTek Dimensity 6020 SoC, and it’s paired with 256GB onboard storage, as well as 8+8GB RAM via its RAM Turbo feature. The camera consists of a 108MP main shooter, and the 6,000mAh battery lasts up to 3 days, the company claims. It’ll cost RM899 when it launches this week and comes available in Flowing Silver and Emerald Green colors.
Next up is the MagicBook X 16 laptop – costing RM2,999, this laptop comes with the Intel Core i5-12450H (quite a dated chip by today’s standards) processor which features a 4P+4E core configuration. Next to the processor is 8GB of RAM and 512GB SSD, and it features an FHD+ 16:10 display with an 89% screen-to-body ratio. Customers purchasing this laptop will be eligible for gifts worth RM468, which includes a backpack, a 1-year Microsoft 365 subscription, and a 3-year warranty.
Finally, the HONOR Band 9 is equipped with a 1.57-inch 60Hz AMOLED display and is rated for up to 14 days of battery life on a single charge. It comes with 96 training programs, and watch face customization is available as well. It’ll cost RM199 apiece, available in Purple, Black, and Blue colors.
