Record-Breaking Performance
The upcoming Honor GT Pro has reportedly shattered AnTuTu benchmark records with an exceptional score exceeding 3.44 million points. While Honor hasn't officially confirmed this score, industry insiders strongly believe it belongs to the GT Pro, making it potentially the highest-scoring device on the platform to date. This remarkable performance is attributed to the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset that will power the device, complemented by advanced LPDDR5X Ultra RAM and UFS 4.1 storage technologies.

Premium Display and Design
Honor has released official images revealing the GT Pro's design, which features a centered, square camera module with distinctive GT branding. Unlike its predecessor, the vanilla GT, the Pro model adopts a more serious and flagship-worthy aesthetic. The smartphone will sport a 6.78-inch flat OLED display with 1.5K resolution and a smooth 144Hz refresh rate. The screen also incorporates nine-layer eye protection enhancements and is reportedly protected by Honor's reinforced Rhino glass technology. An ultrasonic in-screen fingerprint scanner will provide secure and rapid authentication.
Impressive Battery and Audio
Battery life appears to be a significant focus for the GT Pro, with reports indicating a capacity between 6,000mAh and 6,999mAh. This substantial battery will be supported by 90W fast charging capability (some reports suggest up to 100W), ensuring minimal downtime for power users. The audio experience hasn't been overlooked either, as the device will feature dual symmetrical 1216 speakers, previously praised in Honor's Magic 7 series, promising immersive sound quality for gaming and media consumption.
Photography Capabilities
While complete camera specifications remain under wraps, the GT Pro is expected to feature a 50-megapixel main camera as part of a triple-camera system that includes a telephoto lens. The camera module's design suggests Honor is positioning this device as a serious contender in mobile photography, though we'll need to wait for the official launch to learn about specific sensors and capabilities.
Configuration Options
Pre-orders for the Honor GT Pro have already begun in China, with the device set to be available in four configurations: 12GB+256GB, 12GB+512GB, 16GB+512GB, and 16GB+1TB. Color options will include gold, white, and black variants, catering to different aesthetic preferences.
Honor's Expanding Portfolio
The April 23 event will not only showcase the GT Pro but also introduce the Honor Tablet GT. While details about the tablet are limited, leaked information suggests it may feature a Dimensity 8350 chipset, 12GB of RAM, 256GB of storage, and a massive 10,000mAh battery. Additionally, Honor is expected to launch the Honor X60 GT phone on April 22 and is reportedly working on the Honor 400 and 400 Pro models for both global and Chinese markets.
Market Positioning
With its focus on high performance, substantial battery capacity, and premium features, the Honor GT Pro appears to be positioned as a direct competitor to gaming-oriented flagships and performance-focused devices from other manufacturers. The impressive AnTuTu score suggests Honor is serious about claiming the performance crown in the highly competitive smartphone market.
