Official

HONOR officially announced the WIN 2 gaming phone in China alongside the WIN RT 2 and WIN Turbo 2, with the first official sale set for October 30, 2026.

HONOR officially launched the WIN 2 gaming phone in China on October 21, 2026, together with the WIN RT 2 and WIN Turbo 2. Pre-sales opened the same day, and the first official sale starts October 30, when the WIN 2 and WIN RT 2 go on sale together.

The phone has a 6.89-inch 2K OLED display with a 185Hz refresh rate, 0.93mm symmetrical bezels, 10,000 nits peak brightness, 5,000Hz touch sampling and 5,920Hz PWM dimming. It runs on a 5.0GHz 2nm Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 processor with a new Adreno GPU, 12GB or 16GB of LPDDR5X Ultra RAM and 256GB, 512GB or 1TB of UFS 4.1 storage.

Cooling comes from a dual active fan system called Twin Star Turbine, which HONOR says lowers temperatures by up to 14.4 degrees and improves heat dissipation by 150% over the predecessor. The 10,100mAh silicon-carbon battery supports 100W wired, 80W wireless and 27W reverse charging. Cameras include a 200MP main sensor with a 1/1.4-inch size and OIS, a 12MP ultra-wide and a 50MP front camera.

The phone carries IP68, IP69 and IP69K dust and water resistance despite the active cooling, runs Android 17 with MagicOS 11 and has stereo speakers. Color options are Quick Squad, Guaranteed Win and Red-Blue Buff. China prices are CNY 5,499 for 12GB/256GB, CNY 5,799 for 16GB/256GB, CNY 6,299 for 12GB/512GB, CNY 6,999 for 16GB/512GB and CNY 7,999 for 16GB/1TB, while Baidu lists a starting price of RMB 4,999.

The series is currently exclusive to China with no announced global release. That means it is not sold in Egypt or the Gulf yet, and MobiArabia will add local store prices when it arrives.
