Honor has unveiled its latest flagship phones in China, the Win and the Win RT. The new gaming-focused smartphones come with a very similar feature set. Speaking more precisely, the Honor Win and the Honor Win RT boast a massive 10,000 mAh silicon-carbon battery with support for 100 W wired and 80 W wireless charging. Both models have a large 6.83-inch FHD+ OLED display with a refresh rate of up to 185 Hz and a peak brightness of 6,000 nits. 

On top of that, the panel also has HDR10+ support and 5,950 Hz high-frequency PWM dimming. Under the hood, the Honor Win is powered by a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset paired with an Adreno 830 GPU. While the Win RT ships with a Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset. It packs up to 16 GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 1 TB of UFS 4.1 internal storage.
