The Pad V9 boasts an 11.5-inch screen that offers a resolution of 2,800 x 1,840 and supports a refresh rate of up to 144Hz, providing very smooth visuals. Honor states that the LCD panel can reach a peak brightness of 500 cd/m². The device accommodates inputs from a compatible stylus and is powered by the Extreme version of the MediaTek Dimensity 8350, which includes four Cortex-A510 cores and four Cortex-A715 cores that can run as fast as 3.35 GHz, a bump from 3.2 GHz in the regular version.

The Honor Pad V9 is equipped with Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2 but does not offer cellular connectivity. The weight of the tablet is 475 g (about 1.05 lb).
Software and Features
Shipping with MagicOS 9.0, which is built on Android 15, the tablet includes various AI functionalities to support users in daily tasks. For example, the AI technology can transcribe voice memos into text, pull out important points from digital documents, and even create equations from handwritten notes. Additionally, users can utilize a keyboard for window management, allowing the tablet to function as a laptop alternative.
Honor's latest offering seems to be positioning itself as a versatile tool for both productivity and entertainment, but the lack of information on its global release adds a layer of uncertainty for potential buyers.
