HONOR WIN2 Series Launches in China With Dual-Fan Cooling and Up to 12,070mAh Batteries

HONOR has launched its WIN2 gaming smartphone lineup in China, comprising the flagship WIN2, the WIN RT2, and the more affordable WIN Turbo2. The three models feature a 6.89-inch 2K OLED display with a 185Hz refresh rate, while their processors, cooling systems, cameras, and battery capacities vary by model.

The WIN2 and WIN RT2 went on sale in China on October 21, while the WIN Turbo2 is scheduled to go on sale on October 30. The company has yet to announce international availability.

HONOR WIN2 Leads the Lineup With Dual-Fan Cooling

The HONOR WIN2 is the most powerful model in the lineup, featuring a sixth-generation Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 processor, LPDDR5X Ultra memory, and UFS 4.1 storage. It also uses HONOR’s Phantom Engine tuning technology, designed to improve gaming performance and maintain consistent frame rates.

Early reports from AnTuTu Benchmark note the phone achieves over 5.7 million points in its AnTuTu score.

For thermal management, the WIN2 features HONOR’s Dongfeng Twin Star Turbo Cooling system, which uses two fans and an airflow-focused design to dissipate heat during demanding gaming sessions.

The phone also packs a 10,100mAh battery with support for 100W wired and 80W wireless charging. Its other features include a 200MP main camera with optical image stabilization (OIS), dual symmetrical speakers, IP68/IP69/IP69K protection ratings, an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, and a dedicated WIN gaming key.

WIN RT2 and WIN Turbo2 Offer Larger Batteries

The HONOR WIN RT2 takes a different approach, pairing a fifth-generation Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor with a larger 12,070mAh battery. It supports 90W wired charging and uses a single built-in cooling fan.

The more affordable HONOR WIN Turbo2 also features a 12,070mAh battery and 90W wired charging, but it omits active fan cooling. It is powered by a Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 processor and has a 50MP main camera with OIS.

Both models retain the lineup’s 6.89-inch 2K 185Hz OLED display and dual symmetrical speakers, making them alternatives for gamers who prioritize battery capacity and display performance.

Shared 2K 185Hz Display

All three phones feature a flat 6.89-inch LTPS OLED panel with a 2K resolution and a 185Hz refresh rate. The WIN2 also has symmetrical bezels measuring 0.93mm, contributing to its nearly edge-to-edge appearance.

The high refresh rate is designed to deliver smoother motion in supported games. Actual performance will depend on whether individual games support the display’s maximum refresh rate.
