Yes, getting notifications on my iPad has been around for many years, and glad to see Android brands offering the same user experience. These features never get talked about but are the little things that keep me within the Apple ecosystem.
Is the 2.0 usb port of the magicpad 2 fast enough to read games from a Micro sd /usbc adapter?? For yuzu (switch) emulagion games, would usb 2.0 enough speed for reading them???
do you find the display isnt the sharpest? it should be pin sharp but i can see text is a bit pixelated and about arms length. didnt notice this on the xiaomi pad 6s pro or tab s9 series
A keyboard is important to me, and the prerequisites are a trackpad and backlit. This tablet has neither, so it is a deal-breaker no matter how good the tablet is-and it seems very good. Thanks for the look anyway. I'm continuing my search for an Android companion tablet for my M1 iPad Pro, which is still strong and performs comparable to 2024 devices after 3.5 years.
@@wintermutevi Nice, and yh the others are UFS 3.1. I'm guessing you bought the China version then? As there isn't a global version with more than 256GB that I've seen.
I'm a med student who owns a tab s9 ultra. I used it since 2023 and it's a damn good device. It's screen is big and the whole experiance is still buttery smooth after a whole year but if i have to choose between at least for now i would go for honor because it's specs are just superior for the parts that matters to me like cpu and gpu. And personaly lacking a fingerprint sensor is not a deal breaker for me. For the pen experiance samsungs pen experiance is magnificent. it's responsive and you can use it without charge. I realy don't know the pen experiance of honor tho so you should do your own research about that. Hope that it helps.
Depends on the use... But t that's why I chose honor over one plus... I had tablets and phones from both brands and both were reliable and still ran like new, no downgraded perform the years. Same experience with xiaomi.
Does it have video out? I currently have a tab s8 plus but I noticed that I tend to have eye strain from the oled screen (probably due to low PWM), could this one be a nice replacement?
have you found out yet? my main concern is eye strain. In addition, I am not sure how good this tab for extensive note taking, audio marking, and transcription when recording long meetings.
@@NANA-gy7yx I got the honor and I wouldn't go back to the galaxy. You can wireless stream to TVs (you'll get some delay but for my use case it's ok). Regarding eye strain, I've never had any issue with the Honor, even for low light reading, while the galaxy gave me headaches in 10 mins. In addition, I think Honor is better for screen and audio quality
Why cant somone make a review where they tell about the desktop mode and compare it to dex and note taking experience,havent found anyone make a good review about this device,not that there are many anyways
Hey, sorry for the question, but if you had to choose between the Xiaomi Pad 6s Pro and the Honor Magic Pad 2, which one would you choose? XD Your answer could also help me decide which smartphone to get in 2025. Thanks in advance! :D
I really enjoy using my one plus pad 2. I never felt the LCD was a downgrade and I have a galaxy s24 ultra and lg C4 OLED tv so I'm accustomed to excellent colours and black levels. The LCD display in the one plus is excellent quality, equivalent to iPad lcd's. That being said if I was buying again I'd have the Honor pad even with the lesser chipset just for that display and speakers combo.
Was able to get the Magic V3 in a bundle deal: - 300 EUR discount - MagicPad 2 for 350 EUR (instead of 600) - Honor Wireless Charger Stand - Honor Earbuds X6 - Honor Band 9 - Most importantly, a 66W charging brick (Apple, Samsung and others, take notes!!!!) So all of that for "just" 2049,00 EUR Thanks Honor Germany, very cool.
I have Samsung tab S9 ultra ist garbage the sound is Vs honor magic pad 2 unbelievable,just I would like to have simcard on pad 2 but I can't,I don't know maybe with e SIM??
Users on Reddit have shown WhatsApp messages from Honor in Germany and Italy confirming that this will on get one OS update to Android 15 and then no more. Can anyone confirm this as its a deal breaker if so?
Never understood the appeal of syncing phone on the tablet, for me it's just taking too much of the screen. If I want to send something, I could just use quickshare or other method
@theblacksorrow tab s9 has 8gen2 8gen3 much faster and smoother but I don't think because of the chip Samsung did something one plus simply doesn't hold back besides wait a little and even one plus will be cheaper in a few weeks
The way it expands the TH-cam app to show its shortcuts is a clever trick
Great review! Bought this Pad after watching this video. Thanks heaps!

Are sellers in China flashing a global ROM on this device that would not receive any further updates?
Nice review Ben
is it not providing major software updates for more than only 2 years?
Does it have GPS? I use my tablet a lot for driving in the car.
Which is that video editor application 2:45
Does anybody know if Magic Ring works if the tablet is global version and the phone is in the Chinese ROM?
Great review, do you know if this Honor pad has gorilla glass or scratch resistant screen? Also, how many years of updates will it get?
Need to honor the phone to the honor tablet or can be any android devices to mirror into the honor Pad ?
when is the release in the philippines?
Yea me waiting too ❤
is in the tablet some good pre installed app for notes-writing?
Does the feature of running the tablet on the mobile also include the Honor Magic 6 Pro device?

Yes, comma, they really need to have a better keyboard, especially if the random access memory goes to 16 gigabits.
You can purchase 3rd party keyboards that have all of those features, and it's not like apple supplies one with the iPad.
What app it is? 8:01
How would this tablet be for video editing, say lumafusion
Question is,how long Honor is going to offer updates on the tablet?
Great review! Do you know if it is UFS 4.0 or UFS 3.1? And are the tablet rails/frame made from metal?
Would like to know that too as I am debating between Oneplus Pad 2 which has stronger chip but ufs 3.
@@savvasneophytou5664 I was told that it is all plastic build, but good quality. And that only the 1TB model has UFS 4.0
@@savvasneophytou5664 I was recently told that it is actually a plastic frame, but good quality. And only the 1TB magicpad 2 has UFS 4.0

6:21 I was wondering why that girl who used to appear on Ben's videos stopped doing so that suddenly. I think I now know what happened hahah
is that the upcoming huawei tri-fold in the editing software? anyway, the magicpad 2 looks great!

I got the one plus pad 2 last week wi😢8gen3 and it's only 500 dollars
Do you think the display is a major selling point over the OP Pad 2?

Same experience with xiaomi.
This or apple iPad m4, which one do you recommend?

Does this pad have GPS
What about display out, fingerprint (for banking)?
does banking require f1ngerprint?

Honor is the new giant of the Android❤❤
question can it do something similar to Samsung dex? the one that came up in my country is around 580+ eu dollar with 20gb ram, only that.
From what I have seen it has something similar to Samsung dex
It will work with my Honor Magic 6 pro right? The ring function. Another GREAT review.
Yes it will
@@bensgadgetreviews thank you Ben. 🙏
Yes it will typing on my 6 pro 😊 but I got one plus pad 2
Will all those features work if i have a hauwei phone ?
probably not, because the operating systems are different {Android and Harmony Os}, even though the MagicOs skin looks similar to HarmonyOs
Do you recommend iqoo pad 2 pro over xiaomi pad 6s pro? Thanks
The honor has the oled panel, and honors software is smoother and works better on a tablet over xiaomi
Does it also pair with other phones or just honour devices
Just honor . And maybe one other brand that starts with H 😂😂😂😂
@@bensgadgetreviews 😂😂
What do you recommend? This or Huawei Matepad pro 12.2?
which one did u end up getting i think honor has more value for price but matepad pro is better
@arcue3644 Mate Pad Pro 12.2...
I got it for £350 the whole set. So hopefully would be great. Still waiting for it.

Does it at least have 3.1 video out? Haven't made it to that part of the video yet
But it has 66 watts fast charging!
OnePlus is OnePlus. Honor can never match their brand value, software, performance and UI.
