Fresh off its global debut, the huge HONOR Pad X9b Max has officially touched down in the Philippines. The company’s latest tablet targets professionals and content junkies looking for an oversized screen.

Locally, the HONOR Pad X9b Max is priced from ₱19,999 (around $320) for the base model. For those who want to transform the device into a more productivity-focused machine — a budget laptop alternative, if you will — a ₱21,999 ($350) bundle includes HONOR‘s Smart Bluetooth Keyboard accessory. Retail availability begins Sept. 19 through authorized physical stores and e-commerce partners, including Shopee, TikTok Shop, and Lazada. To sweeten the deal, customers will receive a free JBL Go 4 Bluetooth speaker valued at ₱2,599 ($40) until Sept. 30.

HONOR Pad X9b Max release announcement

The biggest selling point here is undeniably the 13-inch 2.5K LCD panel operating at a fluid 120Hz. More importantly, the display carries an IMAX Enhanced certification. For everyday buyers, that badge guarantees the HONOR Pad X9b Max meets rigorous Hollywood-grade standards covering color accuracy, contrast, and high-fidelity audio output. You get the kind of punchy visuals and immersive sound you really don’t expect from a standard midrange tablet.

But it’s not just for kicking back and watching movies. The tablet can help you get some real work done. It runs on Android 16-based MagicOS 10, which gives you handy tools like AI Memo and a file manager that actually feels like you’re using a PC. Plus, split-screen multitasking should be a breeze on a display this big. And with HONOR Connect, you can easily beam files across iOS, Android, Windows, and HarmonyOS with just a few taps.

Obviously, keeping such a large screen running requires serious power, so a 10,100mAh battery sits inside the 6.72mm-thin chassis. Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 6s Gen 2 chipset handles processing duties efficiently, yielding up to 16 hours of continuous video playback. And when the battery does eventually tap out, the 45-watt fast charging should minimize your downtime, letting you spend less time at the wall outlet and more time enjoying the HONOR Pad X9b Max.
