Honor released the Win smartphone, which features a 10,000 mAh battery—the kind typically found in tablets. It retains its compact size thanks to the new silicon-carbon battery technology, which offers higher capacity than lithium-ion batteries in a similar size. The Win boasts flagship hardware, but costs half as much as an iPhone 17 Pro.

The new series includes the Honor WIN and WIN RT models. Their key difference is their processor: the older Honor WIN has the new Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, while the younger WIN RT has last year’s Snapdragon 8 Elite. These smartphones are equipped with 12 or 16 GB of LPDDR5X RAM and built-in storage ranging from 256 GB to 1 TB. In all cases, owners will appreciate the attractive design of these smartphones, with a flat frame around the perimeter and rounded corners. The thickness of the case is 8.3 mm. The back cover of the smartphones houses a camera module: two on the younger model and three on the older model, as well as a ring-shaped air intake for the fan in both cases. The fan has not prevented Honor from providing IP68, IP69, and IP69K protection for the WIN and WIN RT, including dust and water resistance.

The Honor Win series smartphones are equipped with 6.83-inch HD+ (1272 × 2800 pixels) displays with a 185 Hz refresh rate for a smooth gaming experience. The peak brightness is 6000 cd/m²; the hardware dark mode is 1 cd/m². High-frequency PWM at 5920 Hz and a number of AI-based technologies are declared, which ensure high image quality. A fan measuring only 0.666 cm accelerates to 25,000 rpm, thanks to a dual 360-degree air intake system, air flow increases by 10%, and the temperature is reduced by up to 7 °C. An updated heat dissipation system with a vapor chamber and a 3D contour in the form of a butterfly wing is present, which helped to increase cooling efficiency by 25% compared to previous solutions; A thermally conductive gel used in the aerospace industry has improved heat dissipation by up to 200%.

Honor WIN series smartphones are equipped with 10,000 mAh batteries, which are enough for 16 hours of gaming, 31 hours of video viewing, and 10 hours of video recording.

The Win RT is available in five configurations, with the entry-level model costing 2,699 yuan and featuring 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage. Other configurations include 12/512 GB (3,099 yuan), 16 GB/256 GB (2,999 yuan), 16/512 GB (3,399 yuan), and 16/1024 GB (3,999 yuan).
