Honor is reportedly preparing a new mid-to-high-end tablet, with early details emerging on Weibo via well-known tipster Digital Chat Station. The device, internally named Yongle, could become one of the brand’s most powerful tablets to date thanks to Qualcomm’s upcoming Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 platform.
According to the leak, Yongle will feature LPDDR5X RAM and arrive in two color options, while also supporting a leather keyboard (case) and an active stylus. These clues suggest a productivity angle similar to the direction established by the Honor MagicPad 3, rather than a gaming-centric successor to the Pad GT2 Pro.
No concrete details have surfaced regarding display size, resolution, or battery capacity, but the presence of keyboard support strongly hints that Honor is aiming for a premium, full-size tablet rather than a compact revival. Digital Chat Station also noted that Honor’s small-tablet lineup has been “on hold” since December — meaning this device could fill the gap before any smaller models return.
MagicPad 3 launched with a 13.3-inch IPS LCD at 165 Hz, a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, and a 12,450 mAh battery with 66W fast charging. Upgrading to the latest Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 would be a logical generational jump, and Yongle seems positioned as the next step in Honor’s productivity-driven tablet ecosystem.
Meanwhile, the leak suggests this isn’t a follow-up to the MagicPad 3 Pro. Instead, all hints point toward a direct replacement for MagicPad 3 or the Pad GT2 Pro — with the keyboard support making MagicPad the more plausible lineage.
Honor tablets have historically been hard to buy in the United States, outside of third-party resellers like eBay. It’s unlikely that Yongle will change that strategy, with availability expected to remain focused on Asia and selective European markets.
Since no release window or official specs were mentioned, Yongle is likely still in early internal testing. But the increasing volume of leaks suggests a reveal could come sooner rather than later.
