Honor just dropped two performance-driven phones in China the Win and Win RT. These aren’t your average flagships. Built for gaming and power users, both pack massive batteries, ultra-fast displays, and serious silicon under the hood.
Honor Win series features a massive 10,000 mAh battery
Let’s start with what stands out most: battery life. Both models are fitted with a 10,000 mAh silicon-carbon battery, far larger than the standard fare. That’s paired with 100 W wired charging and 80 W wireless support on both models. It’s clear Honor built these phones for long, demanding sessions gaming or otherwise.
On display tech, the Win and Win RT use a 6.83-inch FHD+ OLED panel with an ultra-smooth 185Hz refresh rate. Peak brightness hits a wild 6,000 nits, and the screen supports HDR10+ with high-frequency 5,950 Hz PWM dimming.
Live images reveal OnePlus Turbo’s sleek design ahead of launch, with a 144Hz display, Snapdragon chip, and a huge battery.
Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 powers the Honor Win series
Under the hood, the Win gets the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 paired with the Adreno 830 GPU. The Win RT uses a slightly lower-tier Snapdragon 8 Elite, still plenty fast for high-end performance. Both come with up to 16 GB LPDDR5X RAM and a whopping 1 TB of UFS 4.1 storage.
Here’s a quick breakdown of the specs:
- Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 (Win) / 8 Elite (RT)
- 6.83-inch OLED, 185Hz refresh rate
- Up to 16 GB RAM + 1 TB storage
- Active cooling fan with 25,000 RPM mode
- 10,000 mAh battery, 100 W wired / 80 W wireless charging
- HDR10+, 6,000-nit peak brightness
Honor Win adds a telephoto lens, Win RT keeps it simple
The Honor Win features a triple rear camera system: a 50 MP main sensor with OIS, a 12 MP ultrawide, and a 50 MP 3x telephoto lens. The Win RT drops the telephoto, settling for a dual 50 MP + 12 MP setup. Both phones share the same 50 MP selfie camera.
Gaming extras round out the Honor Win experience
Beyond raw specs, the phones include IP68/IP69K durability ratings, in-display fingerprint sensors, stereo speakers, and a 25,000 RPM active cooling fan. Bluetooth 6.0 and Wi-Fi come standard, along with NFC and an AI-enhanced subwoofer for added depth during gaming or media use.
Pricing undercuts the competition
The Win starts at CNY 3,999 ($570), scaling up to CNY 5,299 ($755) for the maxed-out version. The Win RT is even more aggressive, beginning at just CNY 2,699 ($385). That puts both phones in a strong spot against pricier rivals, especially given their spec sheets.
Honor didn’t just tune these phones for performance, they built them to last. Heat, power, and brightness all get addressed up front. Now it’s up to the rest of the market to keep up.
