A new leak says that Honor WIN phones have started approaching the “price increase” segment. Following several Chinese brands and Apple’s decision to adjust prices due to rising component costs, Honor is also on its way to raising the price of its devices.
WangzaiKnowsEverything revealed that the Honor WIN phones will soon see a price increase. The company will likely raise the cost of its flagship gaming handsets.
Following the leak, netizens began asking how much the price increased. The tipster responded that the company might raise the cost of the phones by 300 yuan.
The starting price of the WIN RT is 2699 yuan, whereas the standard variant costs 3999 yuan. Honor raised the price of the RT model by 300 yuan in March this year. But it seems the company is now preparing to increase the price for both phones.

Many phone brands have announced an increase in the price of their devices due to the ongoing memory shortages and rising cost of hardware components.
Xiaomi, OPPO, and Vivo already come in this group and have been increasing the price since the first quarter of this year. Meanwhile, Huawei and Apple have recently announced shifts in the price of their future handsets.
Recent news suggested that Honor could increase the price for its PCs and tablets as well. Though it’s unclear when the cost will actually be raised and announced officially.
