Honor WIN Pad is a compact gaming tablet with a 240 Hz OLED display
The Honor WIN Pad is powered by a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor and features active cooling. At just 6.1 mm thick and weighing 315 grams, it packs a 10,000 mAh battery.
Display
The Honor WIN Pad features an 8.4-inch OLED display with a resolution of 2304 × 1440 pixels, a pixel density of 324 PPI and a refresh rate of up to 240 Hz. The screen covers 93% of the front panel, reaches a peak brightness of 6,000 nits, supports the DCI-P3 color gamut and includes HDR image-enhancement technologies.
Gaming modes are available at 165, 185 and 240 Hz. More than 40 games support 240 Hz, while over 40 others are optimized to run natively at 165 and 185 Hz. The actual frame rate depends on the game and its version.
The touch layer’s instantaneous polling rate reaches 5,000 Hz, while its standard rate is 480 Hz. Touch-accuracy algorithms help reduce input lag, including when using a screen protector or finger sleeves.
The display also supports PWM dimming at up to 4,440 Hz, hardware-based blue-light reduction and adaptive image adjustment.
Performance
The Honor WIN Pad is powered by a 3 nm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor with an Adreno 840 GPU. The performance cores reach a maximum clock speed of 4.6 GHz. The tablet comes with 12 or 16 GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 256 or 512 GB of UFS 4.1 storage.
According to Honor, the device scores over 4.62 million points in AnTuTu. The proprietary HONOR Phantom Engine manages computing resources. In the manufacturer’s tests, the tablet maintained an average of 59.8 fps after three hours of gaming under a heavy graphics load, while it averaged 119.7 fps over seven hours in a MOBA game. These results have not yet been independently verified.
The updated Geek Center lets users adjust processor and graphics settings, screen refresh rate, RAM allocation and power limits. Settings can be saved as separate profiles and shared with other users.
Cooling system
The Honor WIN Pad features the Dongfeng Turbo active cooling system, which combines a built-in fan, two vapor chambers and copper radiator fins.
The fan spins at up to 15,000 rpm, and the total heat-dissipation surface area is 38,000 mm². The vapor chambers have a surface area of 16,382 mm². Two exhaust vents channel hot air out.
Honor says active cooling can lower the device’s surface temperature by around 8 °C in laboratory tests. Fan speed can be adjusted automatically or manually through Geek Center. The fan also has decorative lighting whose effects can change depending on the operating mode.
Battery
The tablet has a typical battery capacity of 10,000 mAh and supports wired charging at up to 66 W and reverse wired charging at up to 27 W.
A bypass charging mode lets the connected adapter power the device directly, bypassing the usual battery-charging process. This helps reduce additional battery heat during extended gaming sessions.
Honor claims up to seven hours of play in a popular MOBA game at a high frame rate. Actual battery life depends on screen brightness, graphics settings, refresh rate and fan use.
Gaming features and software
The Honor WIN Pad has two X-axis linear vibration motors with support for 4D vibration. Haptic effects are optimized for several games, including Genshin Impact, Zenless Zone Zero and PUBG Mobile.
The tablet supports AI-powered game image enhancement, upscaling to 2.3K, adaptive HDR processing and brightening of dark areas. It also offers a multi-window multitasking mode and lets users run multiple instances of compatible apps at once.
The tablet is also said to support running PC games through compatible emulators and remote-access apps. These include third-party programs such as GameSir GameHub and UU Remote. Compatibility depends on the game and app.
The Honor WIN Pad runs MagicOS 11 based on Android 17. Honor’s own apps enable file sharing with Android, iOS, Windows and macOS devices.
Other features
The rear of the tablet houses a 13 MP main camera, while the front has an 8 MP camera. Four speakers provide stereo sound. A USB Type-C port with a USB 3.2 interface is available for connecting external devices.
The Honor WIN Pad is available only as a Wi-Fi model. It does not support mobile networks via a SIM card.
The body is made of metal. The device measures 189,34 × 121,48 × 6,1 mm and weighs 315 grams.
