Honor Win (512GB / 16GB RAM)

The Honor Win (512GB / 16GB RAM) has a standard, non-folding form factor measuring 163.1 mm tall, 76.6 mm wide, and 8.3 mm thick, with a total volume of approximately 103.70 cm³ and a weight of 229 g. A standout aspect of its physical build is the IP69 ingress protection rating, which certifies the device as waterproof to a depth of 1.5 m — a meaningful level of water resistance for a handset that does not carry a rugged designation. Despite lacking a reinforced rugged build, its IP69-rated waterproof protection places it well above average in terms of resistance to water exposure.

The Honor Win features a 6.83″ OLED/AMOLED touchscreen with a resolution of 1272 x 2800 px and a pixel density of 450 ppi, offering a sharp and vibrant visual experience. Its 185Hz refresh rate makes it one of the higher-cadence panels available in this form factor, and the display supports HDR10 along with an Always-On mode for at-a-glance information. The screen is protected by branded damage-resistant glass, though it does not support HDR10+, Dolby Vision, or a secondary screen.

The Honor Win is driven by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, a 3 nm chipset with an 8-thread CPU arranged in a big.LITTLE configuration running at 2 x 4.6 GHz and 6 x 3.62 GHz, supported by HMP and a TDP of 8.2W. It pairs with 16GB of DDR5 RAM at 5300 MHz across dual memory channels, offering a maximum memory bandwidth of 85.1 GB/s and ECC memory support, while internal storage stands at 512GB with a maximum supported memory amount of 24GB. The Adreno 830 GPU clocks at 1200 MHz, features 1536 shading units, supports up to 2 displays, and is compatible with DirectX 12, OpenGL 3.2, OpenGL ES 3.2, and OpenCL 3. The SoC also includes integrated LTE, integrated graphics, TrustZone security, and 64-bit support, with cache distributed across 192 KB L1, 12 MB L2, and 8 MB L3 tiers. Geekbench 6 results are recorded at 3234 for single-core and 10059 for multi-core workloads.

The Honor Win carries a triple rear camera system with sensors at 50 MP (f/2.0), 50 MP (f/2.4), and 12 MP (f/2.2), complemented by a 50 MP front camera at f/2.0 housed in a standard (non-under-display) single-lens arrangement. The main camera supports 4K video recording at 60 fps, optical image stabilization, 3x optical zoom, phase-detection autofocus for photos, continuous autofocus during video, and slow-motion video recording, while a single LED flash is present — though dual-tone, RGB, and front-facing flash options are absent. Manual controls cover exposure, ISO, focus, and white balance, with burst mode, touch autofocus, timelapse, and in-camera panorama also available; manual shutter speed, however, is not supported. The camera system uses a CMOS sensor without back-side illumination and does not offer laser autofocus, 360-degree panorama, HDR10 or Dolby Vision recording, or any 3D photo and video capture capability.

The Honor Win runs Android 16 as a free and open-source operating system, and supports a broad set of privacy controls including clipboard warnings, location privacy options, camera and microphone access management, and app tracking blocking — though Mail Privacy Protection, cross-site tracking blocking, and Wi-Fi password sharing are not available. On the usability side, it offers dark mode, dynamic and manual theme customization, extra dim mode, customizable notifications with granular notification permissions, a media picker, full-page scrolling screenshots, split-screen multitasking, Picture-in-Picture, widgets, sharing intents, a child lock, and the ability to offload apps. It also supports on-device machine learning, offline voice recognition, voice commands, phone tracking, multi-user accounts, Live Text, and the ability to play games while they are still downloading. Direct OS updates from the vendor are not provided, and neither focus modes nor Quick Start are included.

The Honor Win is equipped with a 10000 mAh rechargeable, non-removable battery with a visible battery level indicator. Wired fast charging is supported at 100W, while wireless charging comes in at 80W — both representing notably high charging speeds for their respective methods. The device also supports reverse wireless charging, allowing it to wirelessly charge other compatible devices.

The Honor Win outputs audio through stereo speakers and supports a comprehensive suite of Bluetooth audio codecs, including aptX, aptX HD, aptX Adaptive, and aptX Lossless — though LDAC is not available. The device does not include a 3.5 mm headphone jack, nor does it feature a built-in radio.

The Honor Win supports 5G connectivity with a dual-SIM configuration, and wireless networking covers Wi-Fi 4 (802.11n), Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac), and Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax). Bluetooth 6 is on board alongside NFC, and the device connects via a USB Type-C port running USB 2.0, with no external memory slot or HDMI output available. Download speeds reach up to 10000 Mbits/s and upload up to 3500 Mbits/s. For sensors and navigation, the device includes GPS with Galileo support, a gyroscope, accelerometer, compass, and a fingerprint scanner, while a barometer, infrared sensor, heart rate monitor, iris scanner, and 3D facial recognition are all absent. Crash detection, emergency SOS via satellite, ANT+, DLNA certification, motion tracking, optical tracking, and a built-in projector are likewise not featured, and no stylus is included.

The Honor Win includes a video light for illumination during video recording, while its display is flat rather than curved and uses neither sapphire glass nor an e-paper panel.
