Honor WIN 2 Launches in China: Snapdragon 8EE6, 10,100mAh Battery, and Dual Cooling Fans From ¥5,499

Honor unveiled the WIN 2 at its "Honor WIN Esports Universe Carnival" event in Hangzhou on October 21, calling it the year's "T0 esports machine" — Chinese gaming slang for top-tier.

It starts at ¥5,499 (~$770), with national subsidies bringing the entry price down to ¥4,999 .

Pricing

Performance: 2nm Snapdragon 8EE6

The WIN 2 is among the first phones to ship with the 6th-gen Snapdragon 8 Super Supreme Edition (8EE6) , built on a 2nm process with a CPU clocked up to 5.01GHz . It's paired with LPDDR5X Ultra memory and UFS 4.1 storage.

Honor's lab claims an AnTuTu score of 5,702,964 — one of the highest we've seen.

The company's Phantom Engine adds AI render-display separation, which Honor says lifts 1% low frames by 20fps , plus AI ray tracing rated at 120 million rays per second .

Cooling: Two Fans, 150% Better

The Dongfeng Twin Turbo cooling system uses a dual-fan design with a combined airflow of 1.19CFM . Honor claims a 150% improvement in cooling performance and a 229% increase in airflow utilization , with the duct design inspired by nuclear plant cooling towers.

The fan blades use a new golden-ratio dual-arc turbine , which Honor says cuts noise by 9dB at the same airflow while raising total airflow by 284% .

Display: 2K 185Hz

The screen supports 40+ games at native high refresh rates and includes chip-level dynamic defocus eye comfort.

The Bottom Line

The Honor WIN 2 is a spec monster: 2nm silicon, two fans, a 10,100mAh battery, and a 185Hz 2K screen. At ¥4,999 after subsidies, it undercuts most flagship gaming phones in China. Honor hasn't announced global availability, so US buyers will have to wait.
