Last year, Honor unveiled the Pad GT Pro, a gaming tablet with a 12.3” 144Hz OLED display, a Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chip and a 10,050mAh battery. Now the company has unveiled the sequel, which will be available later this month.
The Honor Pad GT2 Pro ups the screen refresh rate to 165Hz and can actually make full use of that as it promises to run CrossFire: Gunfight King at 165fps. The screen resolution is listed as “3K”, but we don’t have the exact numbers (the resolution is likely the same as the original, 3,000 x 1,920px).
The new model has more oomph with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 – no “s” this time. The difference in benchmark results is more significant than it sounds. The Pad GT2 Pro can be configured with 8/12/16GB of RAM and 128/256/512GB storage (prices below). The tablet also boasts improved cooling with graphene.
The battery capacity now stands at 10,100mAh, but there’s no word on charge speed yet (the original did 66W). The new model measures 5.8mm thick and weighs 580g, making it slightly heavier than its predecessor (555g).
Like its predecessor, the Pad GT2 Pro promises immersive audio with 8 IMAX Enhanced speakers, plus a haptic feedback engine.
