Honor has quietly dropped the X40 GT Racing Edition. If you’re wondering why Honor isn’t vocal about it, it’s mostly because the device is not an entirely new phone. Instead, it’s a minor update from the regular X40 GT that Honor launched back in October of last year.
If you can recall, the regular X40 GT came in two variants. One came with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, while the other packed 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. They were priced around $287 and $329 respectively. The new Honor X40 GT Racing Edition also comes in two variants, but both come with 12GB of RAM.
The starting price of the new X40 GT Racing Edition is around $246, which comes with 256GB of storage. There’s a 512GB storage version too. That is going for around $274. You can pick the device up in Racing Silver, Racing Black, and Midnight Black colorways.
Main Highlights of the Honor X40 GT Racing Edition
In terms of technical specs, the Honor X40 GT Racing Edition is very similar to the regular X40 GT. Under the hood, the device features a Snapdragon 888 SoC. Honor has paired this chipset with UFS 3.1 storage and LPDDR5 RAM to make sure that the performance remains smooth across all tasks.
