Recently, we got a lot of phones from Chinese smartphone makers with high-end chipsets but very aggressive prices. Some examples include the Realme Neo 7 with the Dimensity 9300+, the iQOO Neo 10 with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, and the Redmi K80 with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. All these phones have a starting price of under ¥2500 (~$340), and today, we got another phone in this price segment in China from Honor. The phone is named Honor GT, and this is the successor to the Honor 90 GT, launched with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset last year.
There isn’t anything unique in the design, as the Honor 90 GT has a pretty generic design. There is a rectangular camera module on the rear with a dual camera setup and a two-tone design with “GT” printed in the bottom right corner. The frame is flat, and it is a polycarbonate frame. There are stereo speakers, an IR blaster, NFC, and an X-axis linear motor. The phone is quite slim at 7.7mm and weighs 196g. There is an IP65 rating.1
Speaking of the specifications, the Honor GT is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, and unlike the Honor 300 Pro series, which uses the underclocked version of the 8 Gen 3, the Honor GT has the 3.3GHz version. The phone has 12GB or 16GB LPDDR5X RAM with 256GB or 512GB or 1TB storage. It is worth mentioning that only the 1TB variant has UFS 4.0 storage, so the rest of the variants come with UFS 3.1 storage.
The phone has a 5,300mAh battery with 100W wired charging.
In terms of the display, the phone has a 6.7-inch 10-bit 1.5K AMOLED panel with a 120Hz refresh rate, 3840Hz PWM dimming, and 4000 nits peak brightness. There is an optical under-display fingerprint scanner.
The dual camera setup on the rear includes a 1/1.56″ 50MP Sony IMX906 sensor for the primary camera with OIS and a 12MP sensor for the ultrawide/macro camera. The selfie camera has a 16MP sensor.
Finally, Android 15-based MagicOS 9.0 runs out of the box.
Honor GT comes in three colors, and here is the pricing for China –
- 12GB + 256GB – ¥2199 (~$300)
- 16GB + 256GB – ¥2399 (~$330)
- 12GB + 512GB – ¥2599 (~$355)
- 16GB + 512GB – ¥2899 (~$400)
- 16GB + 1TB – ¥3299 (~$450)
