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

Honor also launched a more affordable gaming device, the Honor Win RT in China alongside the flagship Win. But just like its elder sibling, it also retains the same key features, like the massive 10,000mAh battery and 185Hz display. Other than that, the Win RT uses the standard Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset and skips the telephoto camera and wireless charging to keep costs down. This article will discuss everything about the latest Honor Win RT, including its price in Nepal, specifications, and availability.

Honor Win RT Overview

Display and Design

The Honor Win RT features the same 6.83-inch OLED display as the flagship Win, with Full HD+ resolution (1272 × 2800 pixels) and a 185Hz refresh rate. Its peak brightness also reaches 6,000 nits with a global brightness of 2,000 nits and a minimum of 1 nit. Similarly, the display supports HDR10+ and uses 5,920Hz high-frequency PWM dimming to reduce eye strain.

The phone is slightly lighter than the Honor Win, as it measures 8.3 mm in thickness and weighs 225g. It comes in Black, Blue, and White, and carries the same IP68, IP69, and IP69K ratings for dust and water resistance. There's also an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint scanner and dual SIM support.

Performance and Cooling

The Win RT runs on the Snapdragon 8 Elite with Adreno 830 GPU. This is where it differs from the flagship Win, which uses the newer Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. You can configure the Win RT 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.

Like the Win, the Win RT also features an active cooling fan integrated into the rear camera module that spins at up to 25,000 RPM.  Honor's also included their self-developed C1+ dedicated RF chip for signal stability.

Camera System

The Win RT features a dual rear camera setup: a 50MP primary sensor (1/1.56-inch) and a 12MP ultra-wide macro lens. But it lacks the telephoto camera as one would find in the Honor Win. Anyway, the Win RT's main camera includes OIS and can shoot 4K video at 60fps with stereo audio and Bluetooth mic recording support. Likewise, on the front, you get a 50MP selfie camera. 

Battery, Charging, and Connectivity

The Win RT packs the same massive 10,000mAh silicon-carbon battery as the as its sibling. You can charge it via 100W wired fast charging and 27W wired reverse charging. 

Other than that, the connectivity is typical, like the 5G, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6.0, GPS with high-precision multi-band GNSS, and so on. The phone ships with stereo speakers, dual microphones, and Honor's AI surround subwoofer.
