| The Honor Win features a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor |
In a move set to thrill mobile gamers and power users, Honor has just pulled back the curtain on two formidable new smartphones in China: the Honor Win and the Honor Win RT. Positioned as performance kings, these devices aren't just incremental updates—they're packed with specs that read like a power user's wishlist, headlined by a colossal battery that redefines endurance.
Built for Marathon Gaming Sessions
The centerpiece of both models is a groundbreaking 10,000 mAh silicon-carbon battery, a capacity that dwarfs most competitors. Honor isn't just promising all-day battery life; they're hinting at multi-day endurance for heavy use. When you finally need to recharge, 100W wired supercharging will jet-fuel the battery back up in no time, complemented by robust 80W wireless charging for convenience.
But what's a powerful battery without a screen worthy of it? Both phones feature a stunning 6.83-inch FHD+ OLED display with a blistering 185Hz refresh rate for buttery-smooth animations and gameplay. It pushes brightness to an eye-searing 6,000 nits peak, ensuring visibility even under harsh sunlight. For user comfort, it incorporates 5,950 Hz high-frequency PWM dimming and HDR10+ support for vibrant, dynamic content.
Performance Where It Counts: Snapdragon Elite & Active Cooling
Under the hood, the performance bifurcates slightly but remains top-tier. The standard Honor Win is powered by the cutting-edge Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset paired with an Adreno 830 GPU. Its sibling, the Win RT, opts for the formidable Snapdragon 8 Elite platform. Both can be configured with up to 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 1TB of UFS 4.1 storage, leaving no room for slowdowns.
Honor knows raw power generates heat, so they've included a secret weapon: an active cooling fan with a 25,000 RPM mode. This integrated system promises to sustain peak performance during extended gaming or intensive tasks, a feature typically reserved for dedicated gaming peripherals.

Camera Systems & Rugged Durability
The photography capabilities see a distinction between the two models. The Honor Win sports a versatile triple-camera array:
- A 50 MP primary sensor with Optical Image Stabilization (OIS)
- A 12 MP ultrawide lens
- A 50 MP telephoto camera offering 3x optical zoom
The Win RT takes a slightly more focused approach with a capable dual-camera setup, featuring the same 50 MP main and 12 MP ultrawide lenses but omitting the telephoto. Both share a high-resolution 50 MP front-facing camera for sharp selfies and video calls.
Durability is also a key focus. Both devices boast an impressive IP68/IP69/IP69K rating, making them resistant to dust, water immersion, and even high-pressure, high-temperature water jets—perfect for gamers and adventurers alike.
Pricing, Availability, and Final Thoughts
The Honor Win series starts at a competitive price point in China:
- Honor Win: Starts at CNY 3,999 (approx. $570) for the 12GB+256GB model, with higher tiers at CNY 4,499 and CNY 5,299. Available in Black, White, and Blue.
- Honor Win RT: Begins at CNY 2,699 (approx. $385) for 12GB+256GB, with the top 16GB+1TB model priced at CNY 3,999.
