Honor X60 GT launches as new affordable phone with Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1
Honor has officially unveiled the X60 GT in China. At the core, it's an affordable phone that promises decent performance for the money, thanks to the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 inside. This is the same SoC that powered flagships from 2022, but it's on par with some of the newer mid-range SoCs, such as the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3, when it comes to performance.
The SoC isn't the only highlight of the Honor X60 GT, though. It features one of the largest batteries that the brand has packed into a phone. To be specific, this new affordable phone features a 6,300 mAh battery, which supports 80 W fast charging (100 W Anker Prime charger curr. $49.99 on Amazon). The company claims that the smartphone can get from 0% to 47% in just 15 minutes.
Another big battery highlight is support for bypass charging. For those unaware, this will let the X60 GT stay powered directly from the wall, which helps to avoid overheating and throttling, a handy feature for gaming. Honor also claims that the phone sports a 5,514 mm2 vapor chamber for enhanced cooling during heavy loads.
On the front, the X60 GT comes with a 6.7-inch AMOLED screen with FHD+ resolution and a rated peak brightness of 5,000 nits. The front also houses a 16 MP selfie camera, while the back has a 50 MP primary sensor with OIS and a 2 MP depth sensor.
Other highlights of the phone include up to 16 GB of RAM and 512 GB of storage, IP65 rating, and MagicOS 9.0 based on Android 15. As for the price, the Honor X60 GT starts at CNY 1,799, about $247, while the top-end configuration with maxed-out memory and storage costs CNY 2,399, around $329.
