Honor is preparing to launch the Win 2, the direct successor to last year’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5-based Win. Through recent teasers, the company has confirmed a couple of key specifications, and among them, the phone’s AnTuTu score teaser is the highlight.
The company claims that Honor Win 2 can reach 5,702,964 points on AnTuTu, higher than the RedMagic 12 Pro+’s marketed score of 5,670,006. For comparison, the iQOO 16 is said to score around 5,574,521 points, while the OnePlus 16 can score around 5,633,288 points.
So, according to the numbers shared by Honor, the Win 2 is the highest performing gaming phone of the bunch. For reference, the smartphone is powered by the same Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 that competing phones come with, and just like its predecessor, it comes with an active cooling setup (current Cyberix Magnetic Phone Cooler $24.99 at Amazon).
Of course, the Win 2’s cooling system consists of two fans, which is probably why it got an edge over the competition. Honor also confirmed that the next flagship gaming phone will sport a 2K display with a 185Hz refresh rate, making it a decent choice for competitive gamers.
One of the previous teasers also confirmed that the phone will have a 10,100mAh battery, which is another area where the Win 2 has an edge over the competition. The launch is scheduled for October 21, 2026, but the company has already revealed pricing details.
The starting price will be CNY 5,499, approximately $822, which is the price for the configuration with 12 GB of RAM and 512 GB of storage. For reference, the base configuration of the RedMagic 12 Pro+ with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage costs CNY 6,499, about $971.
