Honor is set to launch the WIN Turbo in China on May 29, and the company has already been teasing several aspects of the phone over the past few days. In its latest teaser, Honor confirmed that the device packs a huge 10,000mAh battery, with some reports suggesting the actual rated capacity could be slightly higher at around 10,080mAh. Either way, it is an unusually large battery for a phone that still appears relatively normal in size and design.
Honor claims the WIN Turbo can handle over 14 hours of continuous gaming or more than 22 hours of short video playback. Marketing numbers are usually best taken with some caution, but realistically, this thing should still outlast most phones pretty comfortably.
Charging does not seem compromised either. The phone supports 80W wired fast charging and even 27W reverse charging, so it can double as a power bank for smaller devices if needed.
Unlike the more expensive WIN and WIN RT models, the Turbo version is apparently skipping the built-in cooling fan. Instead, Honor seems to be focusing more on battery life and everyday gaming rather than pushing fully flagship-level performance.
The phone is expected to use MediaTek’s Dimensity 8500 Elite chip, which should still be more than capable for gaming, multitasking, and general use. It is not aiming for premium territory, but that is probably the point here.
Other leaked specs include a flat 1.5K LTPS display, a metal frame, and a 50MP main camera with OIS. Storage options are rumored to go up to 16GB RAM and 512GB storage. Honor is also preparing several color options, including black, white, and blue finishes.
Interestingly, the WIN Turbo reportedly shares its base platform with the Honor Power 2. The difference is that this model drops the active cooling hardware, which may help keep the overall cost lower and the body relatively slim and light despite the giant battery inside.
Most phones today are already good enough for a full day, so Honor seems to be targeting people who simply do not want to think about charging very often at all. If the pricing lands in the right place, the WIN Turbo could end up becoming one of the more interesting battery-focused phones this year.
