Honor has officially launched two new gaming smartphones, the Honor Win and Honor Win RT, targeting mobile gamers who demand top-tier performance and endurance. Both models are equipped with a massive 10,000 mAh silicon-carbon battery, designed to support long gaming sessions without frequent recharging.
The Honor Win leads the line with the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset paired with the Adreno 830 GPU, providing cutting-edge graphics and processing power. Meanwhile, the Honor Win RT features the slightly lower-tier Snapdragon 8 Elite, which still offers flagship-level performance suitable for gaming.
Both devices come with up to 16 GB of LPDDR5X RAM and up to 1 TB of UFS 4.1 internal storage. This powerful configuration enables seamless multitasking and reduces game loading times, crucial for gamers who switch between apps or play resource-intensive games.
The display on both models is a 6.83-inch OLED panel with Full HD+ resolution, HDR10+ support, and an ultra-high refresh rate of 185 Hz. This ensures smooth animations and responsive gameplay. The brightness can reach up to 6,000 nits, making the screen easily visible under direct sunlight. The screens also feature 5,920 Hz PWM dimming to reduce eye strain during extended use.
In terms of security, Honor has integrated an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor within the display. This sensor offers faster and more accurate unlocking than conventional optical types, enhancing user convenience and security.
The Honor Win sports a versatile triple-camera setup on the back, featuring a 50 MP main sensor with optical image stabilization, a 50 MP telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom, and a 12 MP ultra-wide camera. The Honor Win RT, while lacking the telephoto lens, still provides a reliable 50 MP main camera. Both phones include a 50 MP front camera for high-resolution selfies.
One of the standout innovations in these models is the active cooling system. A rear camera module houses a fan rotating up to 25,000 RPM to maintain stable device temperatures even during intense gaming sessions, preventing thermal throttling and performance drops.
Charging is fast and efficient, with both phones supporting wired fast charging at 100 W. The Honor Win additionally supports 80 W wireless charging, providing versatile recharging options. Such high-capacity batteries paired with rapid charging ensure minimal downtime.
Both devices run MagicOS 10 based on Android 16. They also carry IP68, IP69, and IP69K certifications, offering dust, water, and high-pressure spray resistance. Connectivity features include Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6.0, dual SIM 5G, NFC, infrared sensors, and stereo speakers with Honor AI surround subwoofers for immersive audio.
