Honor is reportedly joining the ultra-smooth display race. New leaks claim the upcoming Honor GT 2 and GT 2 Pro will pack 6.83-inch 1.5K OLED panels running at a blistering 165Hz — specifications that place them squarely against recent OnePlus flagships.
165Hz OLED screens and flagship ambitions
According to a recent Weibo leak shared by tipster Experience More, both Honor GT 2 and GT 2 Pro will use a 6.83-inch OLED display with a 1.5K resolution and a 165Hz refresh rate. That combination promises fluid motion and sharper detail for gaming, scrolling and media playback — the same display profile OnePlus introduced on the OnePlus 15 and Ace 6.
Specs that hint at a direct rival to OnePlus
Rumors suggest the GT 2 could compete directly with the OnePlus Ace 6 Turbo. Why? Both phones are expected to ship with the upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 platform, putting them in the same performance bracket. Meanwhile, the GT 2 Pro is tipped to step up to the newer Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip, which would give Honor a high-end option for power users.
- Display: 6.83-inch OLED, 1.5K resolution, 165Hz refresh rate

- Battery: Ace 6 Turbo rumor — 8,000mAh; GT 2 rumor — 8,800mAh
- Charging: Both phones reportedly support 100W fast charging
- Build & security: Ultrasonic in-display fingerprint sensor, metal middle frame
- Memory: GT 2 may offer up to 24GB RAM and 1TB storage (unconfirmed)
Where cameras and details still remain fuzzy
While OnePlus' Ace 6 line is said to include a 32MP front camera and a 50MP + 8MP rear setup, Honor's leaked sheet doesn’t include camera specs for the GT 2 series yet. Expect more leaks to fill gaps on sensor choices, imaging software and exact RAM/storage trims as launch approaches.
When to expect the reveal
Industry chatter points to a December debut in China for both devices. If the timelines hold, we could see Honor and OnePlus trading blows in the last quarter with flagship-grade displays, massive batteries and very fast charging speeds.
Imagine gaming at 165 frames per second on an OLED panel backed by enormous battery life — that’s the pitch here. Whether Honor delivers a balanced package or focuses on one area (battery, display, or raw power) will determine how well the GT 2 lineup stacks up against rivals.
