Honor has just added serious firepower to its gaming-focused GT lineup with the launch of the Honor GT Pro. It’s a full-blown flagship with a spec sheet that’s hard to ignore — overclocked Snapdragon chip, massive battery, four 50MP cameras, and more. But for now, it’s a China-only release, and we’re left hoping it eventually makes its way to global markets.
Display
Up front, the Honor GT Pro sports a large 6.78-inch LTPO OLED panel with a full-HD+ resolution. What sets it apart is the variable refresh rate, ranging from 1Hz to 144Hz, allowing the display to adapt depending on what you’re doing — saving battery life without compromising performance. The screen hits up to 6,000 nits of peak local brightness, which is among the brightest on any smartphone today. Whether you’re indoors or under direct sunlight, it’ll stay crystal clear.
Durability is also top-tier. The display is protected by Honor’s Giant Rhino Glass, built to withstand accidental drops and scratches. There’s also an embedded ultrasonic fingerprint sensor under the screen for quick and secure unlocking.
Performance
The GT Pro is driven by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset — the overclocked version of the already-powerful Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. The leading edition used here features a prime CPU core running at 4.47GHz and a GPU clocked at 1.2GHz. These are the same frequencies seen in the chip used on the Samsung Galaxy S25 series, putting the GT Pro in elite territory for mobile performance.
Backing the chip is up to 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 1TB of UFS 4.1 storage, giving it more than enough headroom for multitasking, gaming, and media-heavy tasks.
Camera Setup
One of the highlights of the GT Pro is its quad 50MP camera setup. Yes, all four sensors — front and back — are 50 megapixels. The rear setup includes:
- IMX906 main sensor for detailed shots with strong dynamic range
- 3x telephoto IMX856 lens for zoom without loss in quality
- 120-degree ultrawide sensor for landscape and group photos
On the front, there’s a 50MP selfie camera tucked into a small punch-hole, offering a 22mm focal length. This setup ensures high-quality selfies and smooth video calls, with flagship-level clarity.
Battery and Charging
Powering the device is a massive 7,200mAh battery — which is almost unheard of in flagships today. Honor pairs this with 90W fast wired charging, so even this huge battery won’t take forever to fill. The phone is clearly designed with gamers and power users in mind, giving you enough juice to go all day, even with heavy usage.
Software and Build
On the software side, the GT Pro runs MagicOS 9.0, which is based on Android 15. It brings a clean and fast user experience with Honor’s customizations and features layered on top.
The phone also has an IP68/69 rating for water and dust resistance, making it a sturdy daily driver. You’ll get that extra peace of mind even in rough weather conditions or accidental spills.
Variants and Pricing
The GT Pro is available in three colours: Gold, White, and Black. Pricing in China is as follows:
| Variant | Price (CNY) | Price (USD approx.) |
|---|---|---|
| 12GB + 256GB | 3,699 | $505 |
| 16GB + 512GB | 4,299 | $587 |
| 16GB + 1TB | 4,799 | $656 |
It’s a lot of smartphone for the price — high-end hardware, impressive camera setup, and a huge battery all wrapped in a sleek package. While there’s no official word on international availability yet, the GT Pro has all the makings of a global hit if Honor decides to release it outside of China.
