Honor 300 Pro spotted on Geekbench ahead of its launch on December 2
Honor 300 Pro will be launched in China on December 2. The smartphone, which is expected to succeed the Honor 200 Pro, will be launched alongside the base phones Honor 300 and Honor 300 Ultra. The company recently revealed the design, colorways, and RAM and storage configurations of the Pro variant. It is teased to run Android 15-based MagicOS 9.0 and carry a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC. Ahead of the launch, the Honor 300 Pro appeared on Geekbench with an underclocked version of the chipset.
Honor 300 Pro Geekbench listing
The Honor 300 Pro with the model number Honor AMP-AN00 has been spotted on Geekbench. The list shows the Honor 300 Pro with single-core and multi-core scores of 2,141 and 6,813 respectively. It comes with a single-core octa-core chipset with a clock speed of 3.05 GHz. Five performance cores are seen with speeds of 2.96 GHz, while two efficiency cores have 2.04 GHz. The speed is slower than the standard Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, with the main core typically clocking in at 3.30 GHz.
It is speculated that the lower clock speeds of the Honor 300 Pro processor are affected by the cooling system. Since the Honor 300 Pro is a mid-range offering, Honor may not offer the best flagship-level cooling technology. This may prevent Qualcomm’s previous generation flagship chipset from delivering peak performance.
Honor launch of the 300 series
The Honor 300 series handsets have been teased will be launched in China with Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipsets. The phones come with MagicOS 9 based on Android 15. They are confirmed to have 50-megapixel main cameras and 3D ultrasonic fingerprint sensors for security.
Honor 300 Pro will be available in RAM and storage configurations of 12 GB + 256 GB, 12 GB + 512 GB and 16 GB + 512 GB. It is offered in Ink Rock Black, Tea Kaji, and Starlight Sand color options.
