Global Availability Challenges
Honor tablets often face challenges in global markets like Verizon, with limited availability similar to what OnePlus Pad 3 experiences. However, the upcoming tablet aims to provide an advantage with the latest Elite processor, promising enhanced performance.
Anticipated Pricing Considerations
