Honor is all set to bring its next-gen performance-focused smartphone, the Honor GT Pro, to the Chinese market next week. The brand has confirmed that the GT Pro will launch on April 23 alongside the new Honor Tablet GT. Through official teasers and listings on its Weibo handle and store, Honor has revealed key specs and design details that hint at a solid flagship-tier phone tailored for gamers and power users.
Launch
The launch event is scheduled for April 23 at 2:30pm local time in China (which translates to 12pm IST). Pre-reservations are already open via Honor’s official online store in China. The GT Pro will sit above the existing Honor GT in the lineup, offering noticeable upgrades in display, performance, and battery.
Design
Honor has shared official renders of the GT Pro, showcasing three stunning colour options — Burning Speed Gold, Ice Crystal, and Phantom Black. The design includes a flat display with a centered hole-punch cutout for the selfie camera and a squared rear camera module that houses four sensors, an LED flash, and the GT branding.
Adding to its premium build, the device is confirmed to feature a metal middle frame and dual speakers. These choices suggest that Honor is aiming not just for power, but also for a solid in-hand feel and immersive sound.
Display
Display-wise, the Honor GT Pro is shaping up to be a visual treat. It will sport a 144Hz refresh rate panel, ideal for high frame-rate gaming and smooth scrolling. The screen will be a 6.78-inch AMOLED with 1.5K resolution, according to leaks, and will include Oasis polarised eye protection technology. The rhino glass protection on top should offer extra durability as well.
| Feature | Honor GT Pro |
|---|---|
| Display Size | 6.78 inches |
| Display Resolution | 1.5K |
| Refresh Rate | 144Hz |
| Screen Protection | Rhino Glass |
| Special Tech | Polarised Eye Protection, Flat Design |
Performance
Under the hood, the GT Pro is expected to run on the Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC — Qualcomm’s flagship processor built for high-end performance. That’s paired with LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.1 storage, both of which are top-tier options and ideal for gaming, multitasking, and future-proofing.
It will also feature a 3D ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, typically faster and more secure than standard optical sensors. That’s a great touch for a device that’s pushing premium specs.
Camera
While not much has been officially confirmed about the camera system, leaks suggest a 50-megapixel main rear camera. With a four-sensor setup hinted in the renders, there could also be ultra-wide, macro, and depth sensors, although specifics are yet to be revealed.
Battery
Battery life looks like another standout feature. The Honor GT Pro is tipped to come with a battery capacity exceeding 6,000mAh — significantly higher than most flagships. And with 100W fast charging support, topping it up should be a breeze. For comparison, the standard Honor GT features a 5,300mAh battery with the same 100W fast charging.
| Model | Battery Capacity | Fast Charging |
|---|---|---|
| Honor GT | 5,300mAh | 100W |
| Honor GT Pro | 6,000mAh+ (rumored) | 100W |
Pricing
While the price of the Honor GT Pro hasn’t been officially revealed, we can expect it to be higher than the regular GT, which launched at CNY 2,199 (around Rs. 25,000) for the 12GB + 256GB variant in December last year. Given the upgrades, the GT Pro could land closer to the CNY 3,000 range or more.
With cutting-edge features like a high refresh rate screen, powerful processor, massive battery, and enhanced durability, the Honor GT Pro is shaping up to be a serious contender in the flagship killer space — especially for gamers and performance-hungry users.
