Honor Pad 8 set to be launched in India soon, Flipkart teases availability

Honor is preparing to launch the Pad 8 in India soon, after going official for the global market earlier this year. Some details about the Indian variant of the Honor tablet have surfaced online. Honor launched the Pad 8 globally in August this year. The tablet comes in a single storage option.

Honor Pad 8 set to be launched in India soon, Flipkart teases availability

If the recent leaks are anything to go by, the Indian variant of the Honor Pad 8 could retain the specifications of the global variant. Honor is using the Pad 8 to make an impressive return to India’s tablet market. 

The brand has been teasing the imminent arrival of the Honor Pad 8 in India for quite some time now, and will be selling the tablet in India via Flipkart.

Honor Pad 8 Specifications
The Honor Pad 8 comes with a 12-inch LCD panel with 2K resolution. The tablet boots packs an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 680 SoC and runs the MagicUI 6.1. The Pad 8 ships with 128GB of onboard storage option. For optics, the tablet houses a 5MP front shooter for selfies and video calling. 

Also, it provides a myriad of connectivity options including Bluetooth v5.1, OTG, and dual-band Wi-Fi. It has an 8-speaker setup, coupled with Honor Histen and DTS:X Ultra.

The tablet uses a 7,250mAh battery, which supports 22.5W fast charging. The tablet’s dimensions are 174.06 x 278.54 x 6.9mm, and it weighs about 520 grams.

Honor Pad 8 India launch and possible pricing
The Pad 5, Honor’s last tablet in India was launched back in 2019, and was available for Rs 15,500. The new Pad 8 will be more expensive than that, given the massive jump in specs that it will be getting. 

Also, Honor will be making a comeback in to the Indian market with this device, so they will be pricing it aggressively in India. The global variant of the Pad 8 retails for Malaysian Ringgit 1,399 or about Rs 24,600. In India, it is likely to be priced a tad bit lower, but it would be advisable to take this rumour with a pinch of salt.  

In the international market, you get the 128GB storage variant for this price. Moreover, the tablet comes in a Blue Hour colour option.

COVID-19 origins: Should we pay more attention to the lab leak theory and formally investigate it?

Image
A year and a half into the pandemic, we still do not know exactly where the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which causes Covid-19, came from. The prevailing view so far has been that the virus “spilled over” from bats into humans. But there are increasing calls to investigate the possibility that it emerged from a lab in Wuhan, China, where Covid first appeared at the end of 2019. So what do we know for sure, and what do we need still to find out? We know the sequence of the SARS-CoV-2 virus is close to that of bat coronaviruses . Several decades ago its “ancestor” was circulating in bat populations in southern Asia. But there are still many unanswered questions: we don’t know how the virus arrived in Wuhan, how its sequence evolved to allow human infection, and under what conditions it infected the first people who crossed its path. And for each of these stages, we don’t know whether there was a human contribution (direct or indirect). Zoonotic transmission pathways, in other words the pas

Menstrual cups are cheaper, more sustainable than pads and tampons for women

Image
Every year in America, women spend at least US$2.8 billion on sanitary pads and tampons that can take hundreds of years to decompose . Is there a more economical and environmentally friendly way? To find out, we asked Susan Powers , a professor of sustainable environmental systems at Clarkson University about her work comparing the environmental impact of tampons, sanitary pads and menstrual cups. What is a menstrual cup? A menstrual cup is a type of reusable feminine hygiene product. It’s a small, flexible bell-shaped cup made of rubber or silicone that a woman inserts into her vagina to catch and collect menstrual fluid. It can be used for up to 12 hours, after which it is removed to dispose of the fluid and cleaned. The cup is rinsed with hot water and soap between each insertion and sterilized in boiling water at least once per period. A cup can last up to 10 years . Although menstrual cups have been around for decades, they historically have been less popular than pads or ta

Human bodies respond to infections differently depending on the time of day

Image
When microorganisms – such as bacteria or viruses – infect us, our immune system jumps into action. It’s highly trained to sense and eliminate infections and clear up any damage caused by them. It’s typically assumed our immune systems work the exact same way regardless of whether an infection occurs during the day or at night. But research spanning over half a century now shows our bodies actually respond differently at day and night. The reason for this is our body clock, and the fact that each cell in the body, including our immune cells, can tell what time of day it is. Our body clock has evolved over millions of years to help us survive. Every cell in the body has a collection of proteins that indicate the time depending on their levels. Knowing whether it’s day or night means our body can adjust its functions and behaviours (such as when we want to eat) to the correct time. Our body clock does this by generating 24 hour rhythms (also termed circadian rhythms ) in how cells f
