Honor’s rumored WIN 2 series is tipped to pair Qualcomm’s 2nm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 with a 10,000 mAh battery, targeting flagship-level specs at about $700.
That timing suggests the phones cannot launch before Qualcomm unveils the next-generation Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 chip the report references.
The leak builds on the original WIN and WIN RT, introduced in late 2025 with 6.83-inch 1.5K LTPS OLED displays, 185Hz refresh rates and 100W wired charging.
Those first models started at roughly $385 for the WIN RT and $570 for the standard WIN, framing the rumored WIN 2 as a higher-priced but still relatively aggressive offering.

With its 2nm chip and huge battery, what key feature was likely sacrificed to keep the Honor WIN 2's price at $700?

As Europe mandates replaceable batteries, is Honor's giant-battery phone design becoming obsolete before it even launches?

Why can Chinese phones pack 10,000mAh batteries while U.S. regulations seemingly hold back brands like Apple and Samsung?
