The handheld's screen swivels using a 'self-developed ultra-thin alloy hinge built for lasting durability.' Even companies like Nintendo sometimes struggle with keeping moving parts durable on their devices, so hopefully Anbernic has come up with a hinge design that will last.
The purpose of this release is to allow app developers and early adopters to create "even better software experiences". The installation requires flashing a ROM, and if you don't have experience in software development or you expect to use the device as a daily driver, it's not recommended to proceed.
The new tablet has an 11-inch 1920x1200 IPS LCD screen with a 90Hz refresh rate, a 5MP rear camera, a 5MP front camera, and a 10,100 mAh battery. The Honor Pad X8b is powered by the Snapdragon 680 SoC, paired with 4GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. It runs Android 16 with MagicOS 10 on top, it's 7.25mm thin, and weighs 496g. It comes with a charger in the box, at least in Saudi Arabia.
