Honor has released the Win RT2, offering a dedicated gaming phone equipped with a 12070 mAh silicon carbon battery and an integrated cooling fan. The device pairs a 185 Hz OLED display with a 3 nanometer Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor while maintaining IP68 and IP69K water resistance. The phone is currently available in China starting at 4499 yuan, with promotional preorder pricing dropping to 3649 yuan.
Honor integrates an internal cooling fan with 90 degree air ducts that push airflow across critical hardware components. Players can switch between 4 fan speed levels depending on thermal load. Despite the physical air vents, the chassis retains IP68, IP69, and IP69K liquid protection ratings. Up front, the 6.89 inch OLED panel outputs a 3104x1440 resolution at up to 10000 nits peak brightness. The screen supports native refresh rates of 144, 165, and 185 Hz across more than 40 games, with touch response rates reaching 5000 Hz for single taps and 520 Hz for multi finger inputs.
Processing relies on the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip alongside LPDDR5X Ultra memory and UFS 4.1 storage. Honor runs its proprietary Phantom Engine software to sustain up to 185 frames per second during heavy gaming sessions. Gamers can attach an optional physical controller with handgrips and remappable buttons for tactile control. Symmetrical stereo speakers feature large 16.77 cubic centimeter chambers engineered to isolate enemy footsteps and amplify positional cues. Wireless audio over Bluetooth LE Audio hits latency figures as low as 40 milliseconds, while the Honor C3 radio chip and Link Turbo X combine Wi Fi and cellular data to prevent connection drops.
The 12070 mAh silicon carbon battery provides up to 22.2 hours of uninterrupted gameplay on a single charge. Charging options include 90W wired fast charging, 27W reverse charging, and bypass charging to power the phone directly during play without heating the battery cell. For photography, the primary camera uses a 200 MP 1/1.55 inch sensor with CIPA 6.0 optical image stabilization. A 12 MP ultrawide lens and a 50 MP front selfie camera complete the optical array.
Honor sells the phone in 4 storage configurations. The entry 12/256GB model costs 4499 yuan ($674), discounted to 3649 yuan ($546) during preorders. Moving to 16/256GB raises the price to 4899 yuan ($734), or 4049 yuan ($606) for early buyers. The 12/512GB version retails for 5199 yuan ($779), with a preorder rate of 4349 yuan ($651). The top 16/512GB tier costs 5499 yuan ($823), reduced to 4649 yuan ($696) for launch customers.
