According to recent leaks, the Honor X50 GT will come equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 chipset, whereas the Honor 90 GT will have the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 onboard. It is speculated that the X50 GT and 90 GT will rival the Redmi K70e and Redmi K70, which feature the Dimensity 8300-Ultra and Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipsets, respectively.

A recent leak suggests that there could be a higher variant dubbed the Honor 90 GT+, which may feature 24 GB of RAM. It is speculated that both of the upcoming GT series will be priced aggressively.

Honor’s first 24GB RAM smartphones are coming soon

Sudarshan Ravichandran — Wed, 06 Dec 2023 10:15:22 +0000

Honor is gearing up to launch new GT series smartphones in China. One of the brand executives just teased the arrival of these devices last week.

As per leaks, there will be two devices, namely Honor 90 GT (previously Honor 100 GT) and Honor X50 GT. These phones will be centered around performance.

We only know a few tidbits about these products. Today, a couple more crucial details have emerged. Let’s go through them.

According to Digital Chat Station, the upcoming Honor 90 GT and Honor X50 GT will come with up to 24GB RAM. They will be the brand’s first smartphones to offer this huge amount of RAM.

Further, the tipster claims that the main camera of these handsets will have OIS (Optical Image Stabilization). He also adds that why will be powered by three different chipsets and will flaunt an eye-catching display.

Previously, the same source had revealed that the 90 GT and X50 GT will be powered by Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 and Snapdragon 888 chips, respectively. But this is the first time we are hearing about three chipsets.

Currently, it is not known which one of these two phones will be housing the third silicon. We think that the 90 GT could come in two variants offering different chips.

As for displays, the handsets are said to sport flat screens. It is not known whether they will be equipped with LCD or OLED panels. There’s a chance that they may arrive with OLED displays after all.

We are looking forward to learning more about the Honor 90 GT and the Honor X50 GT in the coming days. Perhaps, the brand may finally start teasing the features officially as an executive has already hinted that GT will be spun off into a new separate lineup of devices from the existing number and X series.

Honor exec seemingly teases new GT series phones

Sudarshan Ravichandran — Tue, 28 Nov 2023 12:16:29 +0000

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.

Honor 80 GT

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.
