Honor has officially launched the new Honor Win and Honor Win RT smartphones in China, ushering in one of the most extreme battery and performance-focused phones of 2025. The pair are aimed at gamers and power users, pairing massive endurance, blazingly smooth displays, flagship-tier chips and an active cooling system in a surprisingly refined body.
The key standout of the Honor Win series is its huge 10,000 mAh silicon-carbon battery among the largest ever fitted on a modern smartphone. Combined with aggressive power management and fast charging support, Honor says the battery can deliver up to 16+ hours of continuous gameplay or over 31 hours of video streaming on a single charge. Both models support wired fast charging (100 W) and up to 80 W wireless charging (Win only), as well as 27 W reverse wired charging to top up other devices.
To match that endurance, Honor built both devices around a large 6.83-inch 1.5K OLED display with an industry-leading 185 Hz refresh rate and HDR10+ support, a spec typically seen only on game-focused phones. The panel also includes ultra-high-frequency PWM dimming for smoother visuals and serious responsiveness during fast-paced gaming.
Under the hood, the Honor Win is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset paired with up to 16 GB of LPDDR5X Ultra RAM and up to 1 TB of UFS 4.1 storage for flagship-level performance. The Honor Win RT trades down slightly to the Snapdragon 8 Elite chip but still targets very strong gaming performance with similar memory and storage options. Both run MagicOS 10 based on Android 16.
Honor also went all-in on thermal management, integrating a Dongfeng Turbo Cooling system with active dual fans capable of spinning up to 25,000 RPM. This system paired with vapor chamber and aerospace-grade thermal gel is designed to keep temperatures down during extended gaming sessions.
Camera capabilities aren’t ignored despite the gaming focus. The Honor Win comes with a triple rear camera array led by a 50 MP main sensor, supported by a 12 MP ultra-wide lens and a 50 MP telephoto shooter with 3× optical zoom. The Win RT simplifies that lens array to the 50 MP main and 12 MP ultra-wide cameras. Both phones feature a 50 MP front camera for selfies and video.
Other premium features include 3D ultrasonic in-display fingerprint sensors, dual stereo speakers with Honor AI surround subwoofer tech, and military-grade IP68/IP69/IP69K water and dust resistance rare on phones with such large batteries. Connectivity is comprehensive with 5G, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6.0, NFC and Dual SIM support.
Pricing and availability: The phones are on sale now in China through Honor’s official store and retail partners. The Honor Win RT starts around ¥2,699 ($385) for the base 12 GB/256 GB model, while the Honor Win begins at ¥3,999 ($570). Higher-end configurations scale upward with more memory and storage.
With extreme battery capacity, an ultra-fast display and flagship-class hardware, the Honor Win and Win RT stand out as gaming-oriented powerhouses that push endurance and performance in tandem even if global availability beyond China remains unconfirmed.
