Honor MagicPad 2 review

4 prosinca, 2025

Introduction

The Honor MagicPad 2 was announced at IFA this year and we’ve been eyeing it for a while. It’s an intriguing tablet with flagship specs all around, and you might get the Smart Keyboard and Magic Pencil 3 for free if you catch the right retail promo bundle. The Honor Magic Pad 2 brings a large OLED display, a great update over the previous model. The screen has high resolution, 144Hz refresh rate, up to 4320Hz PWM dimming, and HDR10 and IMAX Enhanced certifications. Then we have the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chip, which may not be the fastest on the market, but it offers plenty of oomph even for gaming. There are a total of eight super loud speakers, also IMAX certified, for a completely immersive experience with compatible content. The tablet also has a large 10,050mAh battery with support for 66W Honor SuperCharge. The tablet launched at €599 price, but it is often discounted by at least €100 and Honor usually bundles it with the Keyboard and/or the Pencil, sometimes even Honor Earbuds X6, too, depending on your market.

Is this tablet better than the iPad A 16 for drawing?

I have it. The pad is very good and the attachable Bluetooth keyboard is lovely to use. Fast and the screen is silky smooth. I am using it for work and it is so much faster than my old dell XPS13 which is no slowcoach

I feel like that 1 year update should have Honor sued especially as Android 16 has improvements for tablets.

Why sell something expensive and support the software with only 1 major upgrade?
