Honor WIN 2 raises the bar with a bigger display, still featuring a colossal battery

With the debut of the first smartphones in the WIN series, the Chinese manufacturer has rediscovered the pleasures of gaming. Beyond phones, the ecosystem will expand to new horizons with a laptop and a mouse, arriving in China on April 23. But in the near future there is also room for Honor WIN 2 and once again we will be dealing with a stellar Gaming Phone in every aspect!

Honor WIN 2 wants to be the king of Gaming Phones: bigger display, extra-large battery and a latest-generation processor

The first details of the next Gaming Phone arrive thanks to the usual Digital Chat Station: the Chinese insider reveals two important novelties and “confirms” some of the features of the current model. Honor WIN 2 will be powered by a 2 nm chipset, and we assume it will be the Snapdragon 8 Elite Ge 6 Pro.

Qualcomm is expected to introduce two flagship SoCs (in September) with some improvements reserved for the Pro version – such as RAM LPDDR6 support. According to the leaker, the new top-of-the-line will feature a larger display, but not by much. Compared to the 6.82″ 1.5K of the Honor Win, the second chapter will move to 6.89″ with 2K resolution – again according to rumors.

The information doesn’t end here: the leaker claims that we’ll find some fundamental features such as an ultrasonic fingerprint reader and the silicon-carbon super battery of 10,000 mAh. There will be a completely waterproof chassis, probably IP69K-rated (like the first WIN model).

The cooling fan is not mentioned but its return can’t be ruled out, since we’re still talking about a Gaming Phone. Below you’ll find an initial draft of the technical spec (based on leaks); there is still no launch window, but a December release is not ruled out (the same month as the predecessor).
