News about Honor’s next GT phone has been
trickling out again, though the pieces don’t quite line up perfectly yet. Even so, a clearer picture is forming. What stands out right away is the timing. The first GT came late last year, and the
GT Pro showed up only a few months after that. Now it looks like the Honor GT 2 Pro could arrive even earlier, maybe in December, which is unusual for this lineup. It feels like Honor is adjusting its schedule rather than simply following the previous cycle.
One rumor that keeps resurfacing is the battery size. Early testers mention something around 8,500 mAh, which sounds almost unreal for a device that isn’t supposed to be bulky. If that figure is even close, battery life should be noticeably better—maybe not just a few extra hours, but a whole different rhythm of day-to-day use. People who game on their phones or watch long videos will probably notice the difference first.
The screen is another part that seems to be shifting in a quieter way. A 6.83-inch flat LTPS OLED display with a 1.5K-ish resolution is being mentioned. The “1.5K” label isn’t standard, but it suggests something sharper than Full HD without fully committing to high-resolution power drain. The flat panel, honestly, makes sense; more people prefer it for grip, for typing, and even for screen protectors. So while it’s not a headline feature, it could be one of those small things that ends up improving the overall feel.
Camera leaks are far less dramatic. A 50 MP main sensor and a compact telephoto are mentioned, but nothing beyond that. This is consistent with the GT’s identity: strong performance first, photography second. A metal frame seems to be part of the design too, and that usually helps with durability and heat management.
Something that did catch my attention is the talk about an ultrasonic fingerprint reader under the screen. These tend to work better when fingers aren’t perfectly dry. It’s one of those features that doesn’t sound important, yet once you use it daily, you notice when it’s missing.
As for speed, leaks point toward
Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. If Honor goes with this chip, the GT 2 Pro should feel like a genuine step forward over last year’s model, not just a small refresh.
Pricing remains a mystery. With a larger battery and a top-tier processor, the cost could shift upward, but no one has solid numbers yet. For now, the GT 2 Pro seems like a thoughtful refinement built on a faster release rhythm.
