Honor is set to launch its first Honor Win series phones in China today. The Win and Win RT are performance-focused handhelds with Snapdragon 8 Elite chip and a 10000mAh battery.

Next in January, the company is expected to launch a mid-range performance phone called the Honor Power 2. It could be powered by MediaTek Dimensity 8500 and a 10,080mAh cell. 

Despite these beefy specs, the main talking point of Power 2 could be its design. A Weibo tipster who goes by the alias Panda is Bald shared an image showing the phone’s design, and yeah, it looks like iPhone 17 Pro. 

It’s not very inspiring 

The device has a panned camera module housing three lenses in Apple’s fashion, and the LED cutout is also on the left. In fact, the hero color of the Power 2 seems to be Orange, just like the new Pro iPhones. Apart from this, the phone might be available in Black and White shades. 

For better or worse, Chinese manufacturers, big or small, have always tried to bring Apple’s flavor to their own devices. A recent example is the Xiaomi 17. So we shouldn’t be as surprised by Honor doing the same thing. But yeah, it’s not very inspiring. 

The Honor Power 2 is also expected to feature a 6.79-inch OLED display with a 1.5K resolution and a 16MP front-facing camera. A 50MP lens will lead the rear setup. 

Pairing with Dimensity 8500 is 12GB of RAM and Android 16-based Magic OS 10. Tumors say the same chip will also power Redmi Turbo 5, Poco X8 Pro, and Realme Neo 8 SE. 

The Turbo 5 could be the first phone to feature the said chip, but it will remain exclusive to China. The Poco X8 Pro will arrive as a global version of the Turbo 5.

Tomorrow, Honor will unveil the Honor Win and Win RT, gaming-focused flagship phones in China. In January 2026, the brand is expected to announce the Honor Power 2, which is said to pack a huge battery along with upper mid-range specifications. Speculation is rife that the device will come equipped with a Dimensity 8-series chipset. Ahead of the expected launch, the phone has appeared on Geekbench benchmarking, revealing key details about its chipset.

Honor Power 2 Geekbench listing

Reports have revealed that the Honor Power 2 will feature the upcoming Dimensity 8500 chipset. This chip is also expected to power other phones, such as the Redmi Turbo 5 / Poco X8 Pro and Realme Neo 8 SE. The screenshot above seemingly reveals the Honor Power 2’s Geekbench listing, where it is reportedly labelled with the SER-AN00 model number.

The Geekbench listing reveals that it is powered by an upcoming MediaTek chip, which includes a prime CPU core clocked at 3.40GHz, three cores operating at 3.20GHz, and four cores running at 2.20GHz. For graphics, it is equipped with the Mali-G720 MC8 GPU.

Based on a previous leak, it can be said that this chip could be the upcoming Dimensity 8500. The handset has managed to score 1,532 points in the single-core test and 5,632 points in the multi-core test.

In comparison, the existing Dimensity 8400 chip has a 3.25GHz Cortex-A725 prime core, three Cortex-A725 cores clocked at 3.3GHz, four Cortex-A725 cores running at 2.1GHz, and a Mali-G720 MC7 GPU. This chip scores around 1,400 to 1,500 in the single-core test and around 5,600 in the multi-core test.

Coming back to the Honor Power 2 Geekbench listing, the device is equipped with 12GB of RAM and Android 16, with the MagicOS 10 layer on top.

Speaking of the phone, rumours suggest that the Honor Power 2 will arrive with a 6.79-inch OLED 1.5K display, a 16-megapixel front camera, and a 50-megapixel main camera on the back. It goes without saying that the major highlight of the phone will be its battery, which is said to be around 10,080mAh. The device will offer 80W charging and is expected to arrive in shades such as Midnight Black, Snow White, and Sunrise Orange.

Other Dimensity 8500 phones

The Dimensity 8500 is also expected to power the Redmi Turbo 5, Poco X8 Pro, and Realme Neo 8 SE. The Turbo 5 could be the first phone to feature the said chip, but it will remain exclusive to China. The Poco X8 Pro will arrive as a global version of the Turbo 5.
