Honor has revealed the cooling technology behind its upcoming Win 2 series, focusing on keeping temperatures under control during demanding gaming sessions. The company is introducing a new approach to active cooling as smartphone processors become more powerful. The system is designed to maintain performance while making the phone more comfortable to hold.
Honor Win 2 dual-fan cooling system explained
According to Honor China executive Fang Fei, the Win 2 features the new Dongfeng Twin-Star Turbo Cooling System, which uses two specially designed fans to manage heat across the device. The fans work together to cool the processor, frame, rear panel and display. Honor claims the system delivers a combined airflow of 1.19 CFM, which is 2.8 times the industry’s current maximum airflow.
The company says the cooling setup can lower the phone’s overall temperature by up to 14.4°C, while reducing the processor’s temperature by as much as 15.5°C. Its airflow design directs hot air through a dedicated pathway, and redesigned curved fan blades are claimed to improve airflow by 14% at the same rotational speed compared with conventional designs of a similar size. Honor also says the system can reduce fan noise without sacrificing cooling performance.
Users will be able to choose between automatic temperature-based fan control and manual adjustment, including four preset speeds and finer speed control. A rapid-cooling mode is claimed to reduce the phone’s temperature by 10°C in just 50 seconds. Both fans reportedly meet IP58 protection standards and have passed L10 lifespan and 5,000-drop testing, with Honor targeting five years of reliable use.
The cooling system will support the Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 chipset, which also powers the likes of the Xiaomi 18 Pro Max, Honor Magic 9 Pro Max, and iQOO 16. The new chip will be accompanied by LPDDR5X Ultra RAM and UFS 4.1 storage. The device is said to have a 6.89-inch 2K OLED display with a refresh rate of up to 185Hz, alongside AI-based performance scheduling and support for native 144Hz, 165Hz and 185Hz refresh-rate modes. It goes without saying that one of the major highlights of this phone is that it will pack a humungous 10,000mAh battery with 100W charging support.
The Win 2 will be unveiled with Win RT 2, Win Turbo 2, Win Pad 2, and Win earbuds on Oct. 21 in China.
