Tipster Digital Chat Station (translated from Chinese) on Weibo claims that the launch of Honor GT 2 series will take place before the end of 2025. As per the leak, the upcoming GT-branded smartphones will be equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Elite and the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5.

The Honor GT 2 lineup is tipped to feature a 1.5K resolution display and a metal frame. Another key highlight could be the inclusion of a 50-megapixel main rear camera and a 3D ultrasonic fingerprint sensor. It is said to come with a 'full level' water resistance rating.
