The HONOR Win is a gaming-focused flagship phone with a built-in cooling fan and a 10,000 mAh battery. HONOR announced it in Chengdu on December 26, 2025, and sales in China started the same day. In China, it starts at CNY 3,999 for 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage. The phone is sold only in China, so buyers elsewhere can get it only as an import.
Design and display
The Win has a 6.83-inch OLED screen with a resolution of 1272 x 2800 pixels. The refresh rate goes up to 185 Hz, and HONOR quotes a peak brightness of 6,000 nits. The panel also uses 5,920 Hz PWM dimming. The body measures 163.1 x 76.6 x 8.3 mm and weighs about 229 g. It combines a matte metal frame with a glass fiber back. The phone carries IP68, IP69 and IP69K ratings for dust and water. HONOR sells it in black, white and blue.
Performance
Inside is the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, with cores clocked up to 4.6 GHz. It pairs with LPDDR5X memory and UFS 4.1 storage. The top version has 16 GB of RAM and 1 TB of storage. There is no microSD slot. A small fan sits in the camera module and pulls air through rear vents. HONOR also adds a vapor chamber for passive cooling. The fan can be switched on and off by hand.
Cameras
The rear setup has three cameras. The main camera uses a 50 MP sensor of 1/1.56 inch with an f/1.95 aperture and optical stabilization. A 50 MP telephoto camera offers 3x optical zoom and also has OIS. The third camera is a 12 MP ultrawide that doubles as a macro camera. The main camera records 4K video at up to 60 fps. On the front, a 50 MP camera can record 4K video. There is no periscope lens.
Battery and charging
The 10,000 mAh battery is the main selling point. Wired charging reaches 100 W, and a charger comes in the box in China. The Win also supports 80 W wireless charging with an HONOR wireless charger. It can charge other devices at up to 27 W over the cable. Wireless reverse charging is supported as well. A bypass mode powers the board directly while you play and charge.
Software and updates
The phone runs MagicOS 10 based on Android 16. The China firmware does not include Google apps, so they must be installed separately. HONOR has not published an update policy for this model. Other features include an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint reader, NFC, an IR blaster and stereo speakers. Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6.0 are supported. There is no headphone jack, and the phone takes two Nano-SIM cards without eSIM support.
Should you buy the HONOR Win?
The Win suits mobile gamers who want long battery life and active cooling. The large battery, fast charging and full dust and water protection add everyday value. However, it is officially sold only in China. Importers get no local warranty and no Google apps out of the box. Buyers who need official support in the US or Europe should look at gaming phones sold there.
