Honor Win launched in China with Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 and 10,000mAh battery

Honor has officially launched its latest gaming-focused flagship. It's the Honor Win, which they launched alongside the Win RT, a slightly toned-down gaming phone. This article will discuss everything about the latest Honor Win, including its expected price in Nepal, specifications, and availability.

Honor Win Overview

Display and Design

The Honor Win features a 6.83-inch OLED display with Full HD+ resolution (1272 × 2800 pixels) and an impressive 185Hz refresh rate, which goes beyond the typical 120Hz, 144Hz or even 165Hz (available in OnePlus 15) you see on most flagship phones. It has a peak brightness of 6,000 nits, and the display supports HDR10+ with 5,920Hz high-frequency PWM dimming. 

On the design side, the phone measures 8.3 mm in thickness and weighs 229g, which is slightly heavier than the Win RT due to the additional telephoto camera and wireless charging hardware. It comes in three color options: Black, Blue, and White, and carries IP68, IP69, and IP69K ratings for dust and water resistance. There's also an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint scanner and dual SIM support via Nano + Nano slots.

Performance and Cooling

Since it's a gaming flagship, and as one might expect, the Honor Win runs on none other than the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 with Adreno 830 GPU, which is where it differs from the Win RT that uses the standard Snapdragon 8 Elite. You can configure the Win with up to 16GB of LPDDR5X Ultra RAM and up to 1TB of UFS 4.1 storage. It runs MagicOS 10 based on Android 16 out-of-the-box.

However, both of these devices will feature an active cooling fan integrated into the rear camera module. Similarly, it also comes with AI features that include AI face-swapping detection, blur location, and Parallel Space for running multiple accounts, among others.

Camera System

The Win features a triple rear camera setup: a 50MP primary sensor (1/1.56-inch) with OIS, a 50MP telephoto camera with 3× optical zoom, and a 12MP ultra-wide-angle macro lens with autofocus. This is also another aspect where the Win distinguishes itself from the Win RT, which only has a dual camera setup without the telephoto module. On the front, you get a 50MP selfie camera. 

Battery and Connectivity

The Honor Win packs a massive 10,000mAh silicon-carbon battery. Honor here is claiming up to 16.4 hours of gaming or up to 31.3 hours of video streaming on a single charge. Similarly, this massive battery gets its juice from a 100W wired charger, and it also offers 80W wireless charging, and 27W reverse wired charging. 

Moreover, for connectivity, it comes with the regular package of 5G, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6.0, GPS, NFC, OTG, USB Type-C, and an infrared blaster. And finally, the phone ships with dual speakers, dual microphones, and what Honor calls an "AI surround subwoofer" for audio during gaming.
