Honor Win 2 Teases Record AnTuTu Score Ahead of October 21 Launch


Honor has begun teasing the Honor Win 2, a gaming phone it says can reach an AnTuTu score of 5,702,964. The figure, shared in teasers on Weibo ahead of the phone’s October 21, 2026 launch, would place the Win 2 above the marketed score of the RedMagic 12 Pro+ and other Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 flagships.

A benchmark claim that leads the pack

Honor’s stated AnTuTu result is a company claim rather than an independently verified measurement. Even so, the number is notable for where it sits relative to competing devices. The RedMagic 12 Pro+ is marketed with a score of 5,670,006. Reported figures for the OnePlus 16 and iQOO 16 are around 5,633,288 and 5,574,521 respectively.

Those comparisons put the Win 2 at the top of the group on paper. Whether the advantage holds in real-world use is a separate question. The brief does not include independent testing, and it is not clear whether Honor’s score comes from a retail unit or a test device.

What Honor has confirmed about the hardware

The Win 2 succeeds the original Win, which used the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. For the new model, Honor has confirmed the Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 chipset. The phone also carries a dual-fan active cooling system, a setup that may help explain the performance edge Honor is claiming.

Honor has confirmed a 2K display with a 185Hz refresh rate. The battery is listed at 10,100mAh, a capacity that stands out even among gaming-focused phones. Full camera, software and connectivity details have not been disclosed in the teasers.

Pricing and storage compared with RedMagic

Honor has revealed that the Win 2 will start at CNY 5,499, roughly $822, for a configuration with 12GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. The RedMagic 12 Pro+ base model, by contrast, is priced at CNY 6,499, about $971, and pairs 12GB of RAM with 256GB of storage.

That leaves the Win 2 undercutting its rival on price while offering double the base storage. The comparison is based on announced and marketed figures; global availability and pricing for the Win 2 have not been detailed.

Launch date and open questions

The Win 2 is scheduled to launch on October 21, 2026. Honor’s teasers have focused on benchmark performance, cooling, display and battery, leaving several areas uncovered.

Independent verification of the AnTuTu score, actual thermal behavior under sustained load, and the complete spec sheet remain unknown. Those gaps will matter for buyers weighing the Win 2 against the RedMagic 12 Pro+ and other gaming phones in the same chipset class.
