Honor has launched its gaming-focused WIN2 series in China. It consists of three phones – the WIN 2, WIN RT 2, and WIN Turbo 2, all tailor-made for various groups of users. The WIN 2 is the performance flagship with the newest Snapdragon chip and dual fans. Next, the WIN RT 2 brings last year’s flagship chip with a single fan and a bigger battery and the WIN Turbo 2 is the most affordable model without active cooling.
