Source: Date:

Honor is pushing its gaming-focused Win series further with the introduction of the Honor Win2 smartphone and the first-ever Honor Win tablet. Both devices lean heavily into performance hardware, adding unusual features such as built-in cooling fans while also packing large batteries, bright OLED displays, and flagship-level specifications for the Chinese market.

The Honor Win2 is positioned as a high-performance flagship with a large 6.89-inch OLED display offering a 1440x3104 resolution, a fast 185Hz refresh rate, and peak brightness of up to 10,000 nits. Under the hood, the phone uses the Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 chipset and is offered with as much as 16GB of RAM and 1TB of internal storage.

For photography, the smartphone includes a 200MP main camera with a 1/1.4-inch sensor and optical image stabilization, alongside a 12MP ultrawide camera. Selfies are handled by a 50MP front-facing camera. Keeping the device running is a large 10,100 mAh battery that supports 100W wired charging and 80W wireless charging.

One of the most distinctive features of the Win2 is its active cooling system. Honor has equipped the phone with two internal fans: an upright cross-flow fan that can spin up to 20,000rpm and a side-mounted fan reaching up to 31,000rpm. According to Honor, the combined airflow is 284% greater than what the original Win offered.

Additional features include a customizable Win key, a light ring around the camera module that reacts during gaming, an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, stereo speakers, and IP68/IP69/IP69K dust and water resistance ratings. The phone runs MagicOS 11 based on Android 17, measures 8.5mm thick, and weighs approximately 237 grams.

In China, the Honor Win2 is now available for preorder in three color options. Pricing starts at CNY 5,499, or around $822, for the 12GB/256GB model. The 16GB/256GB version costs CNY 5,799, roughly $867, while the 12GB/512GB configuration is listed at CNY 6,299, about $942. Higher-end options include the 16GB/512GB model at CNY 6,999, or approximately $1,046, and the top 16GB/1TB version at CNY 7,999, equivalent to about $1,196.

Honor also unveiled the Win tablet, which brings similar performance-focused ideas to a larger format. It features an 8.4-inch OLED screen with a 1440x2304 resolution, a 240Hz refresh rate, and peak brightness of up to 6,000 nits. The tablet is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset and includes a 13MP rear camera, an 8MP front camera, and a 10,000 mAh battery with 66W charging support.

The tablet is notably thin at 6.1mm and weighs 315 grams. Honor claims it is the first tablet to include a built-in cooling fan, with the fan capable of reaching speeds of up to 15,000rpm. It also ships with MagicOS 11 based on Android 17.

Pricing for the Honor Win tablet starts at CNY 4,199, or about $628, for the 12GB/256GB model, while the 16GB/512GB variant is priced at CNY 5,199, approximately $777.
