Honor Pad GT2 Pro unveiled with Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, 165Hz display

Last year, Honor unveiled the Pad GT Pro, a gaming tablet with a 12.3' 144Hz OLED display, a Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chip and a 10,050mAh battery. Now the company has unveiled the sequel, which will be available later this month. Honor Pad GT2 Pro The Honor Pad GT2 Pro ups the screen refresh rate to 165Hz and can actually make full use of that as it promises to run CrossFire: Gunfight King at 165fps. The screen resolution is listed as '3K', but we don't have the exact numbers (the resolution is likely the same as the original, 3,000 x 1,920px). The new model has more oomph with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 – no 's' this time. The difference in benchmark results is more significant than it sounds. The Pad GT2 Pro can be configured with 8/12/16GB of RAM and 128/256/512GB storage (prices below). The tablet also boasts improved cooling with graphene. The battery capacity now stands at 10,100mAh, but there's no word on charge speed yet (the original did 66W). The new model measures 5.8mm thick and weighs 580g, making it slightly heavier than its predecessor (555g). Like its predecessor, the Pad GT2 Pro promises immersive audio with 8 IMAX Enhanced speakers, plus a haptic feedback engine. Honor Pad GT2 Pro in Ice Crystal White and Phantom Gray The Honor Pad GT2 Pro will go on sale in China on July 28 (Monday two weeks from now). You can already pre-order it from Honor's online store with a choice between Ice Crystal White and Phantom Gray colors. Note that some early bird prices are in effect. Honor Pad GT2 Pro MSRP Early Bird Price 8/128GB CNY 2,500 CNY 2,125 8/256GB CNY 2,700 CNY 2,295 12/256GB CNY 3,000 CNY 2,550 16/512GB CNY 3,400 CNY 2,889 Source 1 | Source 2 (in Chinese)

C-SPAN's Next Big Bet Is a 'Radically Different' Sort of Cable News Show: ‘CeaseFire'

Can a 'radically different' cable news show help C-SPAN make an impact in a radically divided Washington D.C.? The non-profit public affairs channel has ordered a new weekly program called CeaseFire (yes, it's a play on the late and lamented CNN show CrossFire), a show in which 'Democrats and Republicans come together to solve problems and discuss the great challenges facing our nation,' per the channel. More from The Hollywood Reporter CNN to Air Live Broadcast of George Clooney's 'Good Night and Good Luck' in Broadway First Springstreen Slams "Corrupt, Incompetent, and Treasonous" Trump Administration CNN Sending Eva Longoria to France as 'Searching For' Franchise Expands (Exclusive) Debuting in the fall, CeaseFire 'will offer viewers across the country something radically different during a time when division and dysfunction dominate the national conversation.' The program is the first big swing by Sam Feist, who joined C-SPAN from CNN a year ago (yes, he also produced CrossFire). Feist has leaned into C-SPAN's roots as an unbiased and unfiltered chronicler of national politics, with live feeds and coverage of Congress that traditional cable channels mostly ignore. 'In a media landscape that too often rewards outrage over understanding, CeaseFire stands out by showing what respectful, principled conversation looks like,' said C-SPAN CEO Feist. 'C-SPAN may be the only television network in 2025 uniquely equipped to air a program like this — operating as a non-profit public service, we aren't driven by ratings or drama, but by a mission to inform, educate and empower an engaged citizenry.' The concept will see politicians and other figures from opposite sides of the aisle sitting down to discuss the things they agree on, while avoiding the topics they don't. 'This program creates a space for two leaders — dedicated to respectful dialogue — to explore common ground, spotlight bipartisan cooperation, and model the constructive behavior essential to a thriving democracy,' C-SPAN says.
