It hasn’t been a full year when HONOR decided to go break the limits of a conventional smartphone and announced the HONOR POWER with a massive 8000mAh battery.

Eight months in, it seems like the Chinese phone brand is unstoppable as they headline not one, but two smartphones equipped with the world’s first 10,000mAh battery — the HONOR WIN and the WIN RT.

RT or not, here they come!

There are ways to tell each model apart.

First, the vanilla WIN uses the latest-gen Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 SoC. Meanwhile, the RT model is equipped with last year’s Snapdragon 8 Elite — which is still very powerful in the years to come.

Second, the standard WIN unit possesses 80W wireless charging support while the RT variant lacks it.

Lastly, there’s the inclusion of an additional 50MP f/2.4 3x telephoto shooter. That also means the HONOR WIN can zoom up to 100x while the WIN RT is limited to just 20x.

Although the remaining cameras are all similar: 50MP f/1.95 main camera based on Sony’s LYT-700 1/1.56-inch image sensor, a 12MP f/2.2 UWA (Ultra-Wide Angle) lens with a 112-degree FoV (Field of View), and a 50MP f/2.0 selfie camera with 90-degree FoV.

TWIN for the WIN

For the most part, the HONOR WIN twins share similar specs on paper.

As aforementioned, both phones headline the first 10,000mAh battery in a smartphone. Despite that, the phones managed to be thin enough at just 8.3mm.

Specs underneath weren’t compromised. There’s a the high-speed UFS 4.1 storage (ROM) that transfers as fast as 4.2 GB/s. Memory is neither forgotten as it packs either a 12 or 16GB of LPDDR5X Ultra memory (RAM) that can handle speeds of up to 9600 Mbps.

The star of the show has got to be its built-in fan — and it’s actually the industry’s smallest yet fastest fan so far. Then again, another record-breaker for HONOR.

This built-in fan is responsible for reducing heat build-up when used for extreme tasks — specifically hours of gameplay.

Air intake increases by 10% and blows cold air as low as 7ºC. The aerospace-grade thermal gel in that VC chamber then improves heat dissipation performance by up t0 200%.

Flipping to the front, the phones have a 6.83-inch LTPS OLED Full HD+ display. It was not compromised as it boasts a staggering 185Hz refresh rate. Again goes beyond the 120 ~ 165Hz limit.

Touch sampling rate goes extreme at 3500Hz — making these phones a full-blown gamer’s companion.

Brightness goes as low as 1 nit and maxes out at a blindingly bright 6000 nits. It also supports up to 1.07 Billion Colors as well as the DCI-P3 Wide Color Gamut. Beneath it lies a 3D Ultrasonic Fingerprint Scanner with recognition speed as fast as 0.14 seconds.

Both phones also feature a triple IP68 + IP69 + IP69K water and dust resistance ratings. That additional “K” rating means it can withstand stronger water pressure going through narrower nozzles — especially found in cleaning water jets in the automotive industry.

Pricing and Availability

The HONOR WIN series is available in three color options: Fast Black, Designated Wind, and Not Afraid of Blue.
