Honor Play 8T has a Pro version.

Honor Play 8T Pro, i.e. Honor Play 8T on steroids

The Honor Play 8T model has just been joined by Honor Play 8T Pro. Both models have a lot in common - but the "Pro" in the name of the newer one did not appear without a reason.

Although Honor Play 8T Pro looks different from Honora Play 8T, both models have the same heart - MediaTek Dimensity 6080 processors. Both also have similar selfie cameras, with 8 megapixel matrices (f/2.0), the rear cameras are also similar - double, where an additional eyelet is used for blurring the background in portraits. However, the main matrices are different. While the base model has 50 megapixels, the Pro version has 108 megapixels (f/1.75). However, whether this will translate significantly into photographic possibilities - I doubt it. In Pro, the front camera is accompanied by a mysterious sensor - probably an image depth recorder, helpful in portraits and face recognition. The Pro model also has - surprisingly - a smaller battery than the base version. Instead of 6000 mAh, it has only 4500 mAh, with 35-watt charging.

The new model also received the newer Android 14 instead of 13, as well as only a higher memory tier, 8+256 GB. There is also virtual RAM, but the most important improvement is probably the display. The LCD screen in the Pro version has been replaced with an OLED screen, with a diagonal of 6.7 inches, Full HD+ resolution and an image refresh rate of 90 Hz. The screen reaches a peak brightness of up to 2,000 nits, with a typical 1,200 nits. Honor Play 8T Pro was priced at 1,899 yuan, or $262.
