The new phone also has a 90Hz screen refresh rate--versus HONOR 90 5G's 120Hz.

The tablet, which has a Snapdragon 685 processor, makes use of vocal enhancement technology which distinguishes human voice, accentuating vocals and producing more accurate sound vocalization.

This makes virtual classes sound clear and are more engaging, said HONOR Philippines senior public relations officer Denis Santos.

It also has an 11.5-inch screen with a 120Hz refresh rate, making it ideal for students who multitask with 4 apps open at a time.

The tablet has 4GB RAM and 128GB ROM, which makes ideal for storing a large number of files. Santos said the gadget can hold about 28,600 photos.
