HONOR GT Makes a Powerful Entrance: Redefining Performance Phones Starting at $299

On December 16, 2024, HONOR officially launched the HONOR GT, the first product in the independently operated HONOR GT series. This phone quickly became a leader in its price segment thanks to its exceptional performance tuning, leading eye-care screen technology, and bold, innovative design. With a starting price of just $299 (RMB 2199) and five different versions available, the HONOR GT offers compelling value in terms of specifications, tuning, and price, making it one of the few performance phones currently on the market that are genuinely worth buying without hesitation.

Design: Blade Eye and Flying Lines, Leading Visual Trends

The HONOR GT boasts a radical new design with a visually striking aesthetic. The "Blade Eye" camera module draws inspiration from the dynamic headlights of a supercar, employing a secondary oxidation supercar process and featuring a prominent "GT" totem, underscoring its flagship performance status. Furthermore, the HONOR GT uniquely incorporates a flying line design that runs the length of the device, extending from the camera module to the bottom, complemented by a three-dimensional fine-carved texture, creating a highly technological and futuristic visual experience.

The HONOR GT is available in three colors: "Ice Crystal White," "Phantom Black," and "Aurora Green." Notably, the Aurora Green version retains the classic HONOR "large logo" design from the HONOR 30 series, adding a touch of classic HONOR heritage.

Performance: Powered by Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, Upgraded Cooling System

The HONOR GT is equipped with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 flagship processor, coupled with LPDDR5X high-speed memory and UFS 4.0 flash storage, delivering an ultra-smooth user experience. To address the high power consumption of the flagship processor, the HONOR GT utilizes a new 3D Natural Circulation Cooling System. This system features an industry-first 3D Waterfall Mimic Cavity VC and dual-dry flow capillary network design, with a 10% improvement in single VC performance compared to the previous generation. Additionally, the HONOR GT incorporates aerospace-grade thermal gel and 2K high-performance graphite for enhanced heat dissipation, ensuring stable performance even under prolonged high-load operation.

HONOR Phantom Engine: AI-Powered, Addressing Gaming Pain Points

The HONOR GT features the HONOR-developed Phantom Engine, which uses AI technologies to effectively solve common gaming issues such as lag, touch interruptions, and battery life. Its industry-first AI rendering separation technology accurately predicts dropped frames, using asynchronous computing to independently compensate, generating keyframes with realistic displacement and lighting effects to fill in the gaps, resulting in a smooth and stable gaming experience. This technology eliminates keyframe drops in high-load gaming scenarios and reduces jitter to 0.1%.

Another industry-first feature is the AI screen protector detection technology, which collects and corrects touch signal data in real-time to mitigate the negative impact of screen protectors on touch accuracy and improve gaming responsiveness. The AI power consumption adaptive technology uses intelligent game scheduling to manage game scenes precisely, eliminating power consumption blind spots and extending game battery life.

Screen: HONOR AI Oasis Eye-Care Gaming Screen, Protecting Your Eyes

The HONOR GT features the HONOR AI Oasis Eye-Care Gaming Screen, a 6.7-inch 1.5K LTPS high-frequency dimming straight screen with advanced eye-care technologies. These include 360-degree all-scenario motion sickness relief display, 3840Hz ultra-high-frequency PWM risk-free dimming, AI defocus eye protection technology, flagship-level AI sleep-aid display, natural light eye protection, 360 adaptive dimming, and hardware-level low blue light. These technologies minimize eye strain from prolonged phone use, providing a more comfortable viewing experience.

Battery Life: 5300mAh Large Battery + 100W Fast Charging, Worry-Free Endurance

The HONOR GT boasts a 5300mAh high-capacity Qinghai Lake battery (gaming edition) with a 5.56% increase in energy density. It also supports 100W super-fast charging technology with a gaming-grade IC, achieving a charging peak efficiency of up to 98%, ensuring users can fully charge their phone quickly without prolonged waiting.

Imaging: 50MP Main Camera + HONOR AI Light Engine, Capturing Memorable Moments

The HONOR GT features a rear 50MP OIS main camera + 12MP ultra-wide-angle lens and the flagship HONOR AI Light Engine, enabling single-lens DSLR-level bokeh and eagle-eye impressive capture, delivering an exceptional imaging experience.

System: MagicOS 9.0, AI-Powered Gaming Experience

The HONOR GT runs on the upgraded MagicOS 9.0 system, which integrates AI capabilities into gaming for the first time, including the industry-first AI game one-sentence check-in function, allowing users to complete game check-ins with a simple voice command.

Audio: HONOR Sound Dual Speakers, Immersive Audio Experience

The HONOR GT is equipped with HONOR Sound dual speakers and utilizes HONOR Sound's self-developed stereo algorithm to enhance amplitude and bass performance, providing an immersive audio experience.
