Honor introduces the Pad X9b Max in the Philippines, featuring a 13-inch 2.5K screen, Snapdragon 6s Gen 2 processor, and a promotional bundle including a JBL speaker, aiming to appeal to media and light productivity users.
HONOR has brought the Pad X9b Max to the Philippine market, positioning the device as a larger Android tablet for streaming, browsing and lighter work. The company says sales begin on September 19, 2026, with a tablet-only price of ₱19,999 and a keyboard bundle at ₱21,999, while pre-orders are being handled through HONOR stores and official online channels.
The main draw is the 13-inch display, which gives the Pad X9b Max more room than the smaller tablets many buyers use for media and everyday tasks. HONOR lists a 2.5K panel with a 120Hz refresh rate and IMAX Enhanced support, while Notebookcheck says the screen measures 2,500 x 1,560 pixels, reaches up to 700 nits and uses a 16:10 format.
That combination places the tablet in the middle ground between a phone and a laptop. For video calls, reading, split-screen use and casual productivity, the larger canvas is likely to be more useful than raw speed alone. A 120Hz display should make scrolling and supported apps feel smoother, but the benefit will depend on the content and the software in use.
The Pad X9b Max also arrives with a 10,100mAh battery, which HONOR describes as a typical capacity, and a claim of expandable storage up to 2TB in some markets. Third-party product listings add that the device uses a Snapdragon 6s Gen 2 chip, 6GB of RAM, 128GB of storage, stereo quad speakers and MagicOS 10, though configuration may vary by region.
HONOR is also offering a launch promotion that includes a free JBL Go 4 speaker for qualifying purchases made between September 1 and September 30, 2026, according to the company’s Philippine launch information. The offer is tied to participating stores and official marketplace listings, so buyers will need to check the terms before ordering.
