The HONOR Pad GT2 Pro specs and features, the tablet feels every bit as premium as its “Pro” branding suggests. The tablet is just 5.95mm thin and weighs around 532 grams; it’s very light and comfortable to hold. In terms of display, it comes with a 12.5-inch LCD panel with a up to 165Hz refresh rate and up to 1000nits of peak brightness. It is available in two color options, i.e. Crystal White and Phantom Grey. But don’t let its slim build fool you into thinking it’s capable – it is an impressive gaming machine.
The display also supports HDR Vivid and DCI-P3 wide color gamut. This is a panel that makes games, movies, and even basic browsing look fantastic. Moreover, seven variable refresh rates from 30Hz to 165Hz allow for better battery optimisation and flexibility across content types. Furthermore, audio is another area where HONOR is clearly trying to flex; the 8-speaker system with 3rd-gen 3D spatial audio technology creates an immersive soundstage rarely seen on tablets, especially in this price segment.
