In the second half of 2022, Honor introduced smartphones with GT branding. The Honor X40 GT was the first, which was soon followed by the Honor 80 GT.
A year later, these devices are yet to get successors. Instead, the brand recently released the Honor X40 GT Racing Edition.
However, there have been rumors of new models for months. Today, one of the company’s executives teased the arrival of next-gen GT phones on Weibo.
Wei Xiaolong is one of the many important executives of the Honor brand in China. He has been the product manager of the Honor Play series since the company was owned by Huawei.
But today, he has changed his Weibo description to ‘product manager of Honor GT series.’ This suggests that Honor GT could now be a new independent family of smartphones from the brand. Up until now, Honor released GT phones under both number and X series.
Additionally, the executive shared an image revealing the ‘Honor Thanos Project.’ He is most likely teasing the imminent launch of the new GT handsets.
As per rumors, Honor will debut Honor X50 GT and Honor 100 GT. But given that these devices are now spun off into a separate lineup, we are not sure if they will bear these names.
Anyways, reliable tipster Digital Chat Station claims that they will be powered by Qualcomm chipsets. The X50 GT, in particular, is expected to house a Snapdragon 888 SoC and feature a rear design inspired by the Huawei Mate X5. While both of them are said to sport flat displays but the type of the panel is not known.
We are looking forward to learning more about these handsets in the coming days as they are nearing their launch.
