Honor Win Turbo unveiled with 10,000 mAh battery and durable chassis

Honor already released the first two phones of its Win series - the regular Win and the Win RT, both with active cooling fans and 10,000 mAh batteries.

The Honor Win Turbo runs on the Dimensity 8500 chipset, which draws less power compared to the Snapdragon 8 Elite and 8 Elite Gen 5 inside the Win RT and the regular Win. So it's not a performance-focused device, but an endurance-focused one. The display is...
