There’s now an HONOR 10 variant with 8GB of RAM
June 05, 2025
HONOR has unveiled a souped-up version of theHONOR 10with 8GB of RAM and pre-loaded with the recently announced GPU Turbo tech update. The new model, dubbed the HONOR 10 GT, will begin shipping on July 24 in China via the HiHONOR store and JD.com.
With the exception of the increased RAM count,GPU Turbo update, and a new camera mode for taking night shots, the HONOR 10 GT is identical to the standard HONOR 10 that debuted in May.
That means the HONOR 10 GT benefits from HUAWEI’sKirin 970 SoC, a 5.84-inch FullView HD+ display (19:9), and a 16MP + 24MP dual-lens rear camera. It also runs theOreo-basedEMUI 8.1 update out-of-the-box, and features an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor.
Aside from the RAM increase, the main draw for prospective buyers is the GPU Turbo update, which is based on the same graphics processing acceleration tech that powered theHONOR Play.
HONOR says the update will offer smoother performance, better frame rates, and increased battery efficiency when playing graphically-intensive games. The boost is achieved by increase graphics efficiency by 60 percent and reducing system-on-chip energy usage by 30 percent.
While the HONOR 10 GT won’t be rivaling the likes of theRazer Phone, Xiaomi’sBlack Shark, or the upcomingASUS ROG Phone, it’s release is yet another sign thatphones built for and marketed towards gamers are on the rise.
Unfortunately, there’s no word on pricing or availability outside of China, though we should hear more once the phone launches later this month.
