Honor has officially unveiled a new series of gaming-focused phones in the Honor Win, and they promise to pack some absolutely monstrous battery life.
The company recently confirmed that it would be launching the Honor Win line in China on December 26. The company then promptly revealed the design of these phones by putting up pre-order pages on its website .
There will be two Honor Win phones, it seems: the Honor Win, and the Honor Win RT. This is what they look like (Win on the left, Win RT on the right).

These images reveal the plain Honor Win to be the more premium phone of the two, with a triple camera set-up. The Honor Win RT only has two cameras.
In terms of how these phones will be pitched, a recent Honor Weibo post promises (via machine translation) “unparalleled performance, designed to deliver the ultimate e-sports gaming experience”.

Together with yesterday’s news about the OnePlus Turbo , it feels as though Chinese tech companies really have a thing about gaming phones right now.
Also like the OnePlus Turbo, the Honor Win could have the kind of battery life that makes the OnePlus 15’s 7,300mAh cell look tiny.
Well-known leaker Digital Chat Station has proffered that both Honor Win phones will pack batteries that exceed the 10,000mAh mark. That’s bigger than a lot of so-called full-sized tablets that we’ve used.
This will be paired with 100W wired charging, and – in the case of the Honor Win – 80W wireless charging.
The tipster also has notes on the performance levels of these phones. Apparently, the Honor Win will go all out with a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip, while the cheap Honor Win RT will go with the previous-gen Snapdragon 8 Elite, which remains a rapid performer.
