Honor quietly announces gaming-focused Tablet GT Pro

Honor has silently announced a new pad in China. Called Honor Tablet GT Pro, the device is listed on the official Chinese store, and the company is now taking pre-reservations. The listing doesn't share much about the device, but it does share that the pad will feature an "esports screen and flagship SoC."

That suggests the Tablet GT Pro will be a gaming tablet, possibly competing against the recently launched 2024 Lenovo Legion Y700 and RedMagic Nova. However, it's possible that the device could be a rebrand of the MagicPad 2 12.3, as the pictures on the listing highlight some similarities.

For example, the Tablet GT Pro and the MagicPad 2 have the camera island in the same spot on the back. They even have a single camera on the rear, and they both have a 12.3-inch display. However, there are some differences in the rear design. For example, the shape of the camera island is different.

If it's indeed a rebrand of the MagicPad 2, the Tablet GT Pro will come with the Snapdragon 8s Gen 2, which isn't actually a flagship SoC. Instead, it's more of an upper mid-range chipset that can offer flagship-grade performance. It is, however, a capable gaming chip (OnePlus Pad 2 with 8 Gen 3 curr. $499.99 on Amazon).

The good news is that Honor mentions that the Tablet GT Pro will launch on October 16, which is right around the corner. So, you don't need to wait too long to get all the details of this gaming tablet.
