The Honor Win series has made its first appearance through new leaks and a retailer listing. The latter suggest that the new lineup will include dual flagship phones. Here’s a look at the latest developments about the new Honor Win series.

Honor Win series expected to launch this month

According to multiple industry sources and the above JD listing, the Win label replaces the previously expected GT 2 and GT 2 Pro names. Listings circulating on retail platforms in China have shown the Win series accompanied by the term “super performance dual flagships”, reinforcing expectations of two models arriving together.

Recent reports have suggested that the base model will have the Snapdragon 8 Elite, whereas the higher version will pack the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. It appears that both devices have appeared with model numbers AAK-AN00 and AAP-AN00, along with a 100W charger, on China’s 3C certification platform in the recent past.

Battery capacity appears to be an area of significant change. Reports mention units with capacities starting around 8,500mAh, with some engineering prototypes testing even higher figures.  Leaks indicate that Honor has prepared new engine-level performance tuning and gaming enhancements, which could include AI-based optimisation to stabilize frame rates, touch response and thermal output during extended use.

The series is also expected to feature a large 1.5K flat display, a metal frame and high-grade water resistance. Imaging hardware may include a 50-megapixel main sensor paired with Honor’s computational algorithms.

The Honor Win series is scheduled to launch this month. There’s no clarity whether these devices will ever make it to the global market.

The post Honor GT 2 leak reveals 24GB RAM, 8800mAh battery, 100W charging appeared first on Gizmochina.

The Honor GT 2 series is generating a buzz in the tech space ahead of its official announcement. Well-known Chinese tipster Digital Chat Station has shared new insights about what appear to be the second-generation GT phones, revealing chipset, display, and battery capacity details.

Honor GT 2 series chipset and display details

The leaks suggest that the Honor GT 2 series will be split into two models: a standard version and a Pro edition. The standard variant is reportedly undergoing A/B testing on two Qualcomm chipsets — the Snapdragon 8 Elite (SM8750) and a new Snapdragon chip with model number SM8845.

In a previous Weibo post, DCS described the upcoming SM8845 as the latest TSMC N3P (3nm process) chipset featuring a self-developed Oryon CPU with a full-core configuration of 2+6 (2 prime cores and 6 performance cores). Some of its components are shared with the SM8850 chipset. Its overall performance is said to be slightly lower than the Snapdragon 8 Elite. Rumors suggest that the Redmi K90 may also feature the SM8845 chip.

The Honor GT 2 Pro model, on the other hand, is said to be confirmed with the next-gen Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 (SM8850), which is expected to launch in September this year.

In terms of design, both the Honor GT 2 and GT 2 Pro are tipped to sport a 6.7-inch 1.5K LTPS OLED flat screen with a 2.5D profile and a durable metal frame. The Pro model may introduce a 3D ultrasonic fingerprint scanner — a first for the series — nudging it further into flagship territory.

Honor is expected to continue its large-battery strategy with the GT 2 series. Last year’s GT Pro model featured a 7,200mAh battery, and this year’s Pro variant may match or exceed that, promising excellent endurance, especially with the use of power-efficient chips.
