Honor is preparing to launch its most ambitious phone yet. The upcoming Honor GT 2 is rumored to pack a massive 8800 mAh battery, powerful internals, and flagship-tier features all aimed at setting a new standard for high-performance Android phones. The device is expected to debut alongside a GT 2 Pro variant later this year.
Honor GT 2 battery sets a new benchmark
According to recent leaks, the Honor GT 2 will include an 8800 mAh battery, one of the largest ever in a mainstream phone. That’s a big leap even from Honor’s previous heavyweights like the Power (8000 mAh) and X70 (8300 mAh). Despite its size, the battery is still expected to support 100W fast charging, meaning long battery life won’t come at the cost of charging speed.
This puts the GT 2 in a rare category: a flagship phone built for endurance.
Meta forms a Midjourney partnership to power its AI with high-end image generation, replacing in-house models with more advanced visuals.
Expected Honor GT 2 specs and features
While the final spec sheet hasn’t been confirmed, here’s what leaks suggest for the base model:
- Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chipset (or possibly Snapdragon 8 Elite)
- 6.7-inch LTPS OLED display
- 1.5K resolution, flat design
- Up to 24 GB RAM
- Up to 1 TB storage
- Ultrasonic in-display fingerprint sensor
- Premium metal frame
These specs would put the GT 2 well into flagship territory, especially with that much RAM and battery packed into one device.
GT 2 Pro might push things further
The standard GT 2 already sounds powerful, but early reports suggest the GT 2 Pro could go even further. It’s expected to feature Qualcomm’s upcoming Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 chip. No other specs have leaked for the Pro yet, but if the base model is this stacked, the Pro version could be one of the most powerful Android phones of the year.
Launch expected by the end of 2025
Leaks point to a launch window around November or December, shortly after Qualcomm reveals its next-gen chips. If true, Honor GT 2 and GT 2 Pro could be among the first phones to feature the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 and Elite 2 platforms, giving them a head start in 2026’s flagship race.
Honor’s latest move shows it’s not just keeping up, it’s going for the crown. With that kind of battery, speed, and spec sheet, the GT 2 series might just pull it off.
