For the past week we focused on comparative in which we put the new one face to face Honor Pad 2 with other tablets of similar or even higher prices, but taking into account the price range in which we expect it to be placed when it arrives in our country, it makes sense to also measure it with tablets with somewhat lower prices to help you decide if the difference in Technical specifications it is enough that it may or may not be worth it to make a slightly larger investment. To verify this, we are going to start with a duel in which you will have to beat the latest 8-inch tablet from Amazon: the Fire HD 8.
Integrated
Aesthetically we find two quite different tablets, with somewhat wider frames and straighter lines on the Fire HD 8 that in the Honor Pad 2. In any case, and apart from the more subjective evaluations of each one, what does seem to be granted to the Huawei tablet is a certain advantage in terms of materials and finishes, thanks to the fact that it comes with a metal casing, while in the Amazon tablet predominates in plastic.
Dimensions
As we mentioned before, the frames of the Fire HD 8 They are somewhat larger and that can be seen when comparing the size of both tablets (20,93x12,3 inch against 21,4x12,8 inch). The tablet of AmazonIn addition, it is not only somewhat larger, but it is also noticeably thicker (8,1 mm against 9,2 mm). Despite this, and surprisingly, the weight of both devices is practically identical (340 grams against 341 grams).
Screen
One of the sections that can justify paying something more to get the Honor Pad 2 is the screen, since in both cases it is 8 inches and 16:10 aspect ratio (optimized for video playback), but the tablet Huawei has a resolution (1920 x 1200 against 1280 x 800) and a pixel density (PPI 281 against PPI 189) noticeably older.
Performance
The tablet of Huawei in the performance section, with a higher level processor (Snapdragon 615 eight-core and 1,5 GHz maximum frequency versus a Mediatek quad-core and 1,3 GHz maximum frequency) and no less than twice the RAM memory (3 GB against 1.5 GB).
Storage capacity
Where they are completely tied, on the other hand, is in terms of storage capacity: the two offer us 16 GB of internal memory and give us the possibility to expand it externally if we are short through card micro-SD.
Cameras
Although cameras should not be a focus of attention for the average user when choosing a tablet and less when it comes to cheap tablets, if any of you are really interested in this section, it should be noted that what the Honor Pad 2 in this sense it is much better, with a main camera of 8 MP (which is usual in high-end ones) and a front of 2 MP, while those of the Fire HD 8 They are 2 and 0,3 MPrespectively, which is the least you can expect.
Autonomy
In terms of battery capacity, on the other hand, the two tablets are very close (4800 mAh against 4750 mAh), but here it is interesting to take into account that consumption is just as important when it comes to achieving good autonomy and that, logically, the higher resolution of your screen makes it possible that your energy demand will also be higher, which you should do leave with advantage to Fire HD 8.
Price
At the moment we only know that Honor Pad 2 it will cost about U.S. dollar 150, which should make us expect a price of at least 150 euros when it arrives in our country and probably even higher. The Fire HD 8, for its part, is sold for $110. How much more would you be willing to pay for the tablet of Huawei?
