– The next Honor Win series phone (likely Win 2) may use a 2nm Snapdragon 8-series flagship chip, a battery exceeding 10,000 mAh, and a second-generation active cooling system with a 6.89-inch 2K+ 185 Hz display.
– Potential display size is slightly larger than the current Win (6.83″), keeping the same 185 Hz refresh rate.
– A possible Honor Win RT successor could pack a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 with similar overall specs but reduced camera and SoC capabilities; a third variant with a Snapdragon 8 Elite chip is also hinted but details are unclear.
Honor rolled out the Win smartphone line in China late last year, introducing the Win and the Win RT, two gaming-centric phones powered by Qualcomm’s flagship Snapdragon chipset, active cooling, and a 185 Hz OLED display, all supported by a colossal 10,000 mAh battery. A fresh leak now hints at the series successor, bringing upgrades to the SoC, battery, cooling and display.
Leak details and potential lineup
The information comes from Digital Chat Station on Weibo, but no manufacturer name is given. Yet the emoji in the post points to Honor, and the specs align with the Win series. The top variant in the lineup, likely the Honor Win 2, is said to feature a “2nm Snapdragon 8-series flagship chip,” a battery beyond 10,000 mAh, a second-generation active cooling fan, and a larger 6.89-inch 2K+ display with a 185 Hz refresh rate.
Possible chip and battery enhancements
The “2nm Snapdragon 8-series flagship chip” hints at either the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 or Gen 6 Pro SoC, while the “10000mAh++” battery signals a charge well past the 10,000 mAh found in the current Honor Win. This improvement is plausible thanks to silicon-carbon batteries that many Chinese brands have moved to. The display is expected to be a tad larger than the Honor Win’s 6.83 inches but would retain the same 185 Hz refresh rate.
Additional variants and potential tradeoffs
Digital Chat Station adds that another variant, likely the Honor Win RT successor, would carry a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. Judging from the original duo, this version should share most of the flagship’s specs but with compromises in the camera department and the SoC. Moreover, there might be a third model in the lineup featuring a Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, though the exact tradeoffs remain unclear.
Official status and caveats
Notably, Honor has not disclosed any information about the next-gen Win series, so readers should take these claims with skepticism.
