Context
Why does this story matter?
The Pad X8 Lite is the latest addition to HONOR's portfolio of mid-range tablets. It is fueled by the MediaTek Helio G80 SoC, making it a great daily gaming option. The device, however, does not have a SIM card slot or a headphone jack. This makes it more one-dimensional than many would like. A lot would still depend on how HONOR prices the tablet.
