Meanwhile, the front has a single punch hole design. It also features an ergonomic frame with a superior and comfortable grip experience. Besides, the matte finish on the back resists the device from daily wear and tear situations.
Win model comes in three bashing colors: Guaranteed White WIN, No feature of Blue Buff, and Let’s Team Up Black. All three color options have a dimension of 163.1mm x 76.6mm x 8.3mm and weigh 229 grams.

Gaming Features – Like no other phone!

The fan supports dual 360° air intake ducts with an area increase of 10% and drops the chip temperature by 7°C. Honor has used aerospace-grade thermal conductive material that improves heat dissipation by 200%.

It involves a C1+ RF enhancement chip with 48% improvements in weak network areas, 2dB Wi-Fi 5G enhanced, 15% reduced game latency, 40% reduced game lag on weak networks, and 97% Wi-Fi signal improvements.
