The Chinese brand Honor has unveiled a new gaming-oriented smartphone under the Honor 80 series. The device in question is called the Honor 80 GT and it comes equipped with a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 processor. Its design strays far from the rest of the series members and it offers an OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. Let’s have a closer look at the specs and pricing of the newly launched Honor 80 GT.
The Honor 80 GT debuts with a premium-looking design. It features a large rectangular camera module, aligned vertically. The module is partitioned into two, the upper part houses two cameras and the lower one has another camera and an LED flash.
The handset is offered in three colors— Interstellar Black, Streamer Mirror, and Light Rain Meteor. It comes with a thickness of 7.9mm and a minimum weight of 187g.
Moving to the specs, the Honor 80 GT packs a 6.67-inch flat OLED panel that supports a 120Hz refresh rate, 300Hz touch sampling rate, peak brightness of 1400nit, and 2160Hz high-frequency PWM dimming.
For a smooth gaming experience, the phone comes powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 + processor, paired with LPDDR5 RAM and UFS 3.1 storage. It is also equipped with an independent display chip which can increase the game frame rate by up to 100% and reduce the power consumption by 25%.
The device has a capable camera setup. It packs a triple camera unit on the back with a 54MP main camera (Sony IMX800), an 8MP ultra-wide-angle lens, and a 2MP macro unit. There’s a 16MP selfie camera on the front.
The smartphone comes with IR blaster, NFC, and linear motor, and runs MagicOS 7.0 based on Android 13 out of the box. Fueled by a 4,800mAh battery, the Honor 80 GT supports 66W fast charging.
