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.
