Smartphones with active cooling are very rare; with the Honor Win, the Chinese manufacturer is making a new attempt. And it could succeed: The phone remains compact and still offers a powerful battery, super-fast charging and many other gaming features.

The Honor Win might just be the most practical performance phone I’ve tested this year. It isn't trying to be the thinnest or the lightest device on the market; instead, it’s doubling down on what actually matters for heavy users: raw battery life and sustained performance. If you’ve been waiting for a device that doesn't compromise on endurance, this is definitely one to watch. The battery life results here are honestly ridiculous. In my shutdown test, the Honor Win pulled over 15 hours of runtime, beating out devices with significantly larger 7000mAh batteries. It completely kills battery anxiety. What makes this phone unique is the built-in fan. It’s not just a gimmick for gamers; it actually helps maintain high charging speeds by keeping the device cool. Whether you are using the 100W wired charging or the fast wireless charging dock, the thermal management is top-tier.

We’ve officially hit a point where gaming phones are becoming the real powerhouses of the industry. It isn’t just about having the fastest chip anymore—it’s about who can actually handle that power without melting in your hand. The iQOO 15, OnePlus 15, and the newly rebranded Honor Win are fighting for the top spot as the best gaming flagship of 2025. Each one takes a completely different approach to what a high-performance device should look and feel like.

Is the Honor Win RT the ultimate mid-range smartphone? With a massive 10,000mAh battery, the powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, and a built-in active cooling fan, this phone is a spec monster on paper. But how does it perform in the real world?
