Honor WIN2 Leak Shows RGB Logo as Rumors Point to a 12,000mAh Battery

A leaked photo has given us our first look at the Honor WIN2, a gaming phone that could arrive later this month. The image was shared on Weibo by leaker Whylab on October 11. It shows a horizontal camera module and RGB lighting on the back of the device.

Honor has yet to announce the phone, so its specifications remain unconfirmed. However, early reports point to a larger battery, a high-refresh-rate OLED display and built-in active cooling.

The original Honor WIN launched in December 2025 with a 10,000mAh battery and a built-in cooling fan. Its successor could push that setup even further.

The leaked image shows a wide horizontal camera module, similar to the one on the previous model. The camera section itself now appears to have a separate square shape. Whylab has not shared details about the sensors or their resolution, so we cannot say whether the camera hardware has changed.

The more noticeable change is the RGB lighting. The illuminated element appears to use Honor's logo as its design, giving the phone a more distinctive gaming look.

Reactions to the image have been mixed. Some users liked the colors and overall design, while others compared the camera module to an old MP4 player. For now, the photo is our main look at the phone's exterior.

Leaker Digital Chat Station says the upcoming series uses the codename Barrett. Reports also point to a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro chip and a 6.89-inch OLED display with 2K resolution and a 185Hz refresh rate.

Battery capacity could be another major change. Prototypes reportedly use a typical capacity of around 12,000mAh, while one listed version has a rated capacity of 11,790mAh. Depending on the model, wired charging could reach 90W or 100W.

If the larger capacity makes it to the final phone, the battery would be about 20% bigger than the 10,000mAh unit in the original Honor WIN. That could help with long gaming sessions, although actual battery life will also depend on power use and cooling.

The WIN2 is also expected to retain active cooling, with a large fan and a vapor chamber. The original WIN used a fan rated at 25,000rpm, though Honor has not confirmed the new model's cooling specifications.

Leaks point to red, blue and black color options. Honor may also introduce the WIN Pad, a gaming tablet reportedly featuring an 8.4-inch OLED display with a 240Hz refresh rate and a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip.

Three device codes — BRT-AN00, BRM-AN00 and BRS-AN00 — have reportedly passed certification and are linked to the WIN2 series. Their final names and specifications remain unclear.

Honor has not announced a launch date or price for the WIN2. The original Honor WIN started at 3,999 yuan in China, while the cheaper WIN RT began at 2,599 yuan. Those prices convert to roughly $560 and $365, respectively, before taxes and regional pricing differences.

The first-generation models were not officially sold in every market, and Honor has yet to confirm whether the WIN2 series will receive an international release.
