Honor Pad V7 Pro debuts with MediaTek Kompanio 1300T chipset, 120Hz display and 7,250mAh battery

Hot on the heels of the Magic3 series and X20 5G smartphones, Honor went ahead and announced an Android tablet dubbed Honor Pad V7 Pro. This is the maker’s most premium slate and it comes with an 11-inch 2560x1600-pixel resolution LCD with a fast 120Hz refresh rate. It’s also the first device to utilize MediaTek’s Kompanio 1300T chipset.

The 6nm chipset brings four Cortex-A78 performance cores and four efficient A55 cores alongside the nine-core Mali-G77 MC9 GPU. Performance is said to match the smartphone equivalent Dimensity 1200 SoC.

You get 6/8GB RAM and 128/256GB onboard storage and a dual-camera setup around the back with a 13MP main sensor and a 2MP depth helper. The front houses a 1080p video-capable shooter. Pad V7 Pro also comes with quad speakers with DTS:X Ultra capabilities.

MagicUI 5.0 on top of Android 11 covers the software front and we expect international variants of the Pad V7 Pro to come with the coveted Google Mobile Services (GMS) just like the recently launched Honor smartphones. The tablet charges its 7,250mAh battery over USB-C at up to 22.5W charging speeds. Honor is also introducing a Magic Pencil 2 stylus with 4096 pressure points and 8ms latency as well as a magnetic keyboard case with a built-in trackpad and stylus holster.
