Honor launched the Pad 9 in China in December, and it seems like the global release is imminent since the tablet has already received certification in Singapore. Additionally, the Honor Pad 9 has now secured the BIS certification, indicating its likely launch in India.
BIS Certification for Honor Pad 9
The BIS certification, granted on Jan 19 under the model number HEY2-W09, matches the one previously given by IMDA in Singapore.

For a quick recap, the Pad 9 comes with a 12.1–inch screen with symmetrical bezels on all sides. Honor says the tablet has a paper-like display with a matte finish and a resolution of 2,560 x 1,600 pixels.
The LCD panel offers a peak brightness of 550 nits, an 88 percent screen-to-body ratio, and a 120Hz refresh rate. Moreover, the company claims the device can eliminate 98 percent of reflected light for a glare-free viewing experience. The tablet is also compatible with stylus and keyboard.
Camera and Audio Features
On the camera front, the tablet features a circular camera module on the back housing a 13MP sensor, along with an 8MP selfie camera. For audio, the device is equipped with eight speakers.
Powerful Performance and Battery
Under the hood, the Honor Pad 9 is powered by a Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 processor, coupled with up to 12GB RAM and 512GB storage. It is backed by an 8,300mAh battery with 35W fast charging support. Software-wise, it runs on MagicOS 7.2 based on Android 13 out of the box.
Color Options and Possible Launch
The Honor Pad 9 is available in three color options, namely Azure, White, and Gray. The company hasn’t confirmed any launch timeline for the tablet, but Honor has been teasing the launch of Honor X9b and Choice Earbuds X5 in India. So there’s a possibility the tablet might launch alongside them.
