I noticed a clear inaccuracy in the comparison scores on NanoReview between the Xiaomi Pad 7 and the Honor Pad 10. The site gives the Honor Pad 10 a higher score for its display, which honestly doesn’t make sense. The only advantage it has is a slightly larger screen size. In every other aspect, the Xiaomi Pad 7’s display is clearly superior — it has a much higher resolution, higher pixel density (DPI), a wider color gamut, and support for better visual technologies like Dolby Vision. There’s simply no logical reason for the Pad 10 to score higher in the display category. This seems like an error in NanoReview’s scoring system, and it really should be corrected to reflect the actual specifications and display performance.
