Honor has officially announced the Honor WIN Turbo for a launch event in China on May 29, 2026. The brand is promoting this device solely as a gaming-focused smartphone, avoiding the tablet or laptop categories entirely. The first teaser image shows a large rectangular camera module with sharp edges and a sporty look. A glowing “Win” logo sits right inside the camera area, signifying that the brand aims to attract buyers who prefer a bold, performance-driven design.
Honor WIN Turbo Leaks: A Rebranded Power 2?
A reliable source, Digital Chat Station, recently shared a leak about the Honor WIN Turbo, which points to the model number SER-AN00. This model number is already linked to the Honor Power 2, which first launched in January this year in China. Because of this match, likely, the new gaming device is just a rebranded or slightly modified version of the Power 2. This approach makes sense for keeping production costs low while updating the lineup with a fresh look.
If it shares the same features as the Power 2, the Honor WIN Turbo is expected to have a 6.79-inch AMOLED display with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate. Inside, buyers can look forward to the MediaTek Dimensity 8500 Elite processor, paired with 12GB of RAM and up to 512GB of internal storage. For the camera, the phone should include a 50-megapixel main camera, along with a simpler 5-megapixel ultra-wide sensor and a 16-megapixel front camera. This setup is quite standard for a mid-range phone, so the device will rely heavily on its battery capacity to stand out.
A key feature here is the large 10,080mAh silicon-carbon battery. However, there is a clear change in charging speeds compared to older models in the same family. The original WIN supported 100W fast charging and reached full capacity in about 45 minutes, but the Honor WIN Turbo drops to 80W. This drop extends the charging time to around 55-60 minutes to fill that large battery.
To understand this change, it helps to look at the original Honor Win and its RT variant. The standard Win was a high-end device with a 10,000mAh battery, a built-in “Dongfeng Turbine Cooler” spinning at 25,000 RPM, and a 6.83-inch 185Hz AMOLED screen with excellent 5920Hz PWM dimming. It ran on the 3nm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip, with fast LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.1 storage. The tough IP68, IP69, and IP69K chassis housed a 50MP selfie camera and a 50MP triple-rear camera system, though the RT variant left out the 50MP periscope telephoto lens.
Positioning the Honor WIN Turbo as an updated Power 2 instead of a direct successor to the premium Win is a smart decision. Honor clearly wants to provide long battery life and gaming features to a wider, budget-conscious audience. The move to the Dimensity 8500 Elite and the slower 80W charging indicate this is a mid-range option, rather than a true flagship competitor. The upcoming launch of the Honor WIN Turbo has also led to speculation about a genuine high-end “Win 2” series that could arrive later this year to replace the original top-tier model.
