Honor's next flagship breaks AnTuTu records with 5.7M score

The Honor Win 2 has scored more than 5.7 million points on AnTuTu, making it one of the most powerful Android phones to appear on the benchmark. The result comes just days before its launch in China on October 21.

The phone is expected to use Qualcomm’s new Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 chip. It also combines a large battery, a high-refresh-rate screen and active cooling, which could make it a strong choice for mobile gaming.

The Honor Win 2 appeared on AnTuTu V12 under the model number RTW-AN00. It scored 5,702,964 points in total, with the Snapdragon chip and Adreno 850 GPU listed as key parts of the hardware.

The test also shows 16GB of RAM, 1TB of storage and Android 17. The phone reportedly uses LPDDR5X memory and UFS 4.1 storage.

The GPU scored 2,072,221 points, while the memory test reached 755,729 points. The user experience test added another 1,372,277 points.

These are impressive numbers, but a benchmark result does not tell the whole story. Cooling, power use and software will all affect how well the phone performs during long gaming sessions.

Leaks suggest that the Honor Win 2 will have a 6.89-inch flat OLED screen with 2K resolution and a 185Hz refresh rate. The display could also feature very thin 0.93mm bezels and high-frequency PWM dimming to help control brightness.

The phone is tipped to pack a 10,100mAh battery with 100W wired charging and wireless charging. That is a huge capacity for a smartphone, although real battery life will depend on how the phone is used.

Honor is also said to be adding a dual-fan cooling system. This could help the phone maintain high performance for longer, rather than slowing down as temperatures rise.

Other rumored features include a 200MP main camera, a secondary rear camera, an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor and IP68, IP69 and IP69K ratings. The phone is also expected to support USB 3.2 Gen 1.

Honor has already announced a price of 5,499 yuan (about $770) after Chinese government subsidies. The final price before subsidies has not been confirmed.

The Honor Win 2 will launch in China on October 21. For now, there is no confirmed global release date.

The biggest question is whether its cooling system can make full use of the new chip without draining that huge battery too quickly. The benchmark result looks promising, but real-world gaming tests will tell us much more.
