Honor WIN 2 Brings a 185Hz Display and Huge Battery. Three Gaming Phones Are Coming

Honor will unveil its WIN 2 gaming phone series in China on Wednesday, October 21, 2026. The company also plans to expand the WIN gaming brand with a tablet and headphones. The expected phones are the Honor WIN 2, WIN RT 2 and WIN Turbo 2.

Most of their specifications come from leaks shared on Weibo by tipsters Experience More and Digital Chat Station. Honor has confirmed some details of the top model, but the full specifications of all three phones remain unconfirmed.

The top model, the Honor WIN 2, is expected to use the Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6, which Honor also calls the 8EE6. It should pair the chip with LPDDR5X Ultra memory and UFS 4.1 storage.

Reported configurations include 12GB of RAM with 256GB of storage, 16GB/256GB, 12GB/512GB, 16GB/512GB and 16GB/1TB.

Honor lists a 6.89-inch flat display with 2K resolution and a refresh rate of up to 185Hz. The bezels reportedly measure just 0.93mm on all four sides.

The phone has also appeared in AnTuTu V12, where a test unit with 16GB of RAM and 1TB of storage scored around 5.7 million points. That is a result from one device, not a guarantee of the same score in every test or real-world gaming session.

The WIN 2 is expected to have a 10,100mAh battery with 100W wired and 50W wireless charging. Honor has also highlighted a dual cooling system, claiming it can lower temperatures by up to 10 degrees during the first 50 seconds. The company has not provided enough detail to judge how the system will perform during longer gaming sessions.

The main camera reportedly uses a 200MP sensor measuring 1/1.4 inches, with optical image stabilization.

Other reported features include a metal frame, stereo speakers with dual 1216 drivers, IP68, IP69 and IP69K protection ratings, an ultrasonic fingerprint reader and a dedicated WIN button. The phone is also expected to have an 0809 linear vibration motor, USB 3.2 Gen 1 and support for the N79 band.

Honor has announced a Chinese price of 5,999 yuan for the WIN 2 with 12GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. That converts to roughly $840, although it is not an official US price.

The WIN RT 2 is expected to sit below the main model. Leaks point to a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip and a display with the same specifications as the WIN 2. Its battery could be even larger at 12,070mAh, with 90W wired charging.

Digital Chat Station claims this would be the largest battery in a phone from a major brand. The main camera is reportedly a 200MP sensor measuring 1/1.56 inches, with optical image stabilization. Unlike the top model, the RT 2 is said to use a single cooling fan.

Expected configurations include 12GB or 16GB of RAM and 256GB or 512GB of storage. The leaked specifications also point to USB 2.0. These details remain preliminary until Honor releases the full spec sheet.

The WIN Turbo 2 is less certain. Experience More has raised questions about its reported Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chip, 50MP main camera and optical fingerprint reader.

The same leak points to a 6.89-inch 2K display with a 185Hz refresh rate, a 12,070mAh battery and 90W wired charging. Unlike the higher-end models, it reportedly will not have an active cooling fan.

Memory options could range from 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage to 16GB/512GB. It is not yet clear whether Honor will use the WIN Turbo 2 name or whether these specifications match the final device.

Honor has not announced plans to sell the WIN 2 phones globally. Their availability in Europe and the US remains unknown, so buyers outside China will have to wait for further details.
