At the heart of the X60 GT is Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset, paired with either 12 GB or 16 GB of RAM, and 256 GB or 512 GB of storage. It features a 6.7-inch AMOLED display with Full HD+ resolution (2,664 x 1,200 pixels) and an ultra-bright 5,000 nits peak brightness, ideal for outdoor use.

To keep performance optimal, the phone includes bypass charging and a sophisticated cooling system with a 5,514 sq.mm vapor chamber, preventing overheating during gaming or heavy multitasking.
Software and Smart Features
The Honor X60 GT runs MagicOS 9.0, which introduces:
- Dynamic Island-style notifications
- A smart personal assistant
