HONOR WIN series to be launched this December; Expected Snapdragon 8 Gen 5/8 Elite Gen 5 SoC, up to 8,000mAh battery

HONOR has begun teasing the launch of its new HONOR WIN series, a dual-flagship performance lineup set to debut in China later this month. The teaser image highlights a prominent metal camera module featuring WIN branding, along with a metal frame.

According to earlier reports, the HONOR GT series—originally introduced in December last year—is being rebranded as the WIN series. The HONOR GT Pro, unveiled earlier this year, will be followed by a successor positioned as the top-tier model in the new WIN lineup. A leaked image of the device has recently surfaced, showcasing a design with triple rear cameras housed in a large camera module.

Reports suggest the upcoming WIN series phones will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 and Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipsets. They are also expected to pack a massive battery of around 8,000mAh with 100W fast charging, as HONOR devices carrying model numbers AAK-AN00 and AAP-AN00 have already cleared 3C certification.

In terms of specifications, the phones are tipped to feature a 6.83-inch flat 1.5K display with a 120Hz refresh rate, a 3D ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, full-grade water resistance, and a 50-megapixel main camera with a large sensor.

More details, including the official launch date, are expected to be revealed in the coming weeks.
