Honor’s New Gaming Phones Come With Huge 12,070mAh Batteries and Built-In Cooling Fan

Honor has released two new gaming smartphones, the Win RT2 and Win Turbo2, in China as part of its Win2 smartphone series. These devices prioritize performance and battery life, both featuring a massive 12,070mAh battery. The Win RT2 also includes an active cooling fan inside its rear camera area, which can lower the phone's temperature by up to 6°C during intense usage.

Users can adjust the fan's speed through software settings with four different levels available. The phones share a 6.89-inch AMOLED display with a 2K resolution, 185Hz refresh rate, and peak brightness of up to 10,000 nits. Both models incorporate an ultrasonic under-display fingerprint sensor and boast an IP69K rating for water and dust protection.

The Win RT2 is equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset, LPDDR5X Ultra RAM, and UFS 4.1 storage, while the Win Turbo2 utilizes the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset and lacks the active cooling fan. Both devices run MagicOS 11 based on Android 17 and offer 5G, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6.0, NFC, and GPS connectivity. The camera systems differ between the two models, with the RT2 featuring a 200MP main camera and the Turbo2 sporting a 50MP Sony main sensor.

Pricing starts at $625 for the Win RT2 (12GB + 256GB) and $480 for the Win Turbo2 (8GB + 256GB), with higher storage configurations priced accordingly. These devices are currently available for purchase in China.
