Honor has officially teased a new smartphone lineup, named the 'WIN' series, after months of rumours surfacing on social media platforms. 

On its Weibo post, the company teased the new brand by posting a teaser image filled with the word “WIN” and announcing a communication event for the e-sports-focused phones on December 16.

The event will carry a slogan, 'Exceptional Strength, Born to Win', which highlights the performance-first direction of the series. The 'WIN' series will replace Honor GT lineup, which itself only launched in 2024. According to leaks, the lineup will consist of two models, the Honor WIN and the Honor WIN Pro. 

Honor WIN series features

Leaks has indicated that the Honor WIN series will use a rectangular camera module that carries Win branding and a triple-camera setup. The standard model is rumoured to launch in beige, black, white, and cyan. The Honor WIN Pro will be launched with a built-in cooling component aimed at improving thermals to support longer gaming sessions. 

The Honor WIN is expected to run on Snapdragon 8 Elite, while the Pro model may use the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. Both phones are tipped to feature a 1.5K OLED display, a 50MP main camera, and an enormous 8,500 mAh battery, which will support 100W fast charging.

Honor WIN series launch 

Honor is ready to launch its WIN series tomorrow (December 16), as labelling it as performance-focused line for mobile gaming and high-performance users, marking the end of the GT era and the start of a new chapter for the brand.
