Honor Win 2 series roundup: Which of the three gaming phones is right for you?

Each model uses a flat OLED panel with a 2K resolution and a 185Hz refresh rate. According to display maker Visionox, it’s the first smartphone panel to combine 2K resolution with a 185Hz refresh rate, and Honor is bringing it to the entire Win 2 lineup rather than reserving it for the most expensive model.

A recent leak also points to a metal frame, dual stereo speakers, and IP68, IP69, and IP69K ratings across all three phones. These details haven’t all been confirmed by Honor, so some specifications could change at launch. You can find more in the full Honor Win 2 series spec leak.

The new lineup follows the original Honor Win and Win RT, which launched in December 2025 with 10,000mAh batteries and built-in cooling fans. This time, Honor is adding a second fan to the top model while giving the other two phones larger batteries.

The Honor Win 2 sits at the top of the lineup, with a Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 processor and a 10,100mAh battery. Honor has confirmed both details, while a leaked AnTuTu result claims the phone scores more than 5.7 million points. 

Cooling is one of the main differences between the Win 2 and its siblings. The phone has two built-in fans as part of Honor’s Dongfeng Twin-Star Turbo Cooling System. According to Honor, the system can reduce the phone’s overall temperature by up to 14.4°C and the processor’s temperature by up to 15.5°C. A rapid-cooling mode can reportedly lower the temperature by 10°C in 50 seconds, and users can either leave the fans on automatic control or adjust their speed manually.

The remaining specifications come from leaks. The Win 2 reportedly supports 100W wired charging and 50W wireless charging, along with a 200MP main camera with optical image stabilization. It also has a dedicated Win key for gaming and a USB 3.2 Gen 1 port.

Memory configurations are said to range from 12GB of RAM with 256GB of storage to 16GB of RAM with 1TB of storage. The phone will be available in Quick Black, Designated Win, and Red/Blue Buff.

Honor has already revealed the price of the 12GB+512GB version at 5,499 yuan after national subsidies. The standard price hasn’t been disclosed. For comparison, the original Honor Win launched at 4,499 yuan for the same memory configuration, making the new model more expensive.

The Honor Win RT 2 trades some of the Win 2’s processing power for a larger battery. It has a 12,070mAh cell, around 21% bigger than the 10,000mAh battery in the original Honor Win RT.

The phone reportedly uses the same Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 as the original Honor Win. While it isn’t the same chip as the one in the Win 2, it should still provide plenty of processing power for mobile games. As for cooling, Honor could use a built-in fan, and it will just be one rather than the dual-fan system reserved for the Win 2.

The camera setup is also slightly different. The Win RT 2 reportedly has a 200MP main camera with optical image stabilization, but it uses a smaller 1/1.56-inch sensor. Its USB port is limited to USB 2.0, compared to the USB 3.2 Gen 1 on the Win 2.

The Win RT 2 is expected to come in 12GB and 16GB of RAM and 256GB and 512GB storage. The available colors are said to match those of the rest of the lineup. Honor hasn’t announced a price for the Win RT 2 yet. The original Honor Win RT started at 2,699 yuan, although rising memory costs across the industry could affect the new model’s pricing.

The Honor Win Turbo 2 is expected to be the most affordable phone in the lineup, with a simpler hardware setup than the other two models. It also skips the built-in cooling fan of pricier siblings.

Despite the lower position in the lineup, the phone reportedly keeps the 6.89-inch 2K 185Hz OLED display and the same 12,070mAh battery as the Win RT 2.

The processor is less certain. A tipster has listed the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4, but the specification was marked as unconfirmed. The main camera is reportedly a 50MP sensor with optical image stabilization, rather than the 200MP camera used in the other two phones. It also has a simpler optical fingerprint sensor and a USB 2.0 port.

The Win Turbo 2 is expected to be the only model available with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. Other configurations reportedly go up to 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage.

Honor hasn’t confirmed these specifications or announced a price. The Win Turbo 2 will likely cost less than the other two models, but we’ll have to wait for the launch to see how much cheaper it actually is.

The phones won’t be the only products at Honor’s October 21 event. The company is also preparing a gaming tablet called the Honor Win Pad, along with its first Win-branded earbuds.

Honor’s teasers indicate the Win Pad will have an OLED display, a built-in cooling fan, and a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor. The company has already shared official renders of the tablet, showing its available color options.

Details about the earbuds remain limited, so we’ll have to wait for the event to learn more about them.

For now, the only confirmed price is for the Honor Win 2’s 12GB+512GB configuration, which costs 5,499 yuan after national subsidies. Honor is expected to reveal pricing for the Win RT 2 and Win Turbo 2 at the launch event.

The original Win series has been sold in China, and Honor hasn’t announced plans to bring the new models to other markets. Buyers outside China may therefore have to import one if the company doesn’t announce a wider release.
