A new leak points to ambitious plans at Honor. According to insiders, the company is developing a new smartphone line called Honor WIN (or WIN GT), with a built-in cooling fan tipped to be its signature feature.
Active cooling has long been associated with gaming phones: a fan pulls heat away more effectively, curbs CPU throttling, and helps keep performance steady during long sessions. The benefits go beyond gameplay, though—lower operating temperatures are gentler on the battery and can potentially extend a device’s lifespan.
What’s notable is that similar chatter once surrounded Huawei and the Mate 80 series, but, unofficially, that idea was shelved. Now the spotlight has shifted to Honor, which appears ready to test a less conventional approach in a brand-new lineup.
There’s no official confirmation from Honor yet—neither specifications nor the final name of the series have been revealed. Even so, sources suggest the first Honor WIN models could arrive before the end of the first quarter of 2026.
