This new phone has fans inside it.

What happened
Honor launched the Win 2 in China, a gaming phone with two tiny fans built in to keep it cool. It also has a huge battery, about twice the size of most phones, and a very bright, fast screen.
Why it matters
Phones get hot when you play games for a long time, and then they slow down. The fans push the heat out, so games run smoothly for longer. Honor also launched a small tablet with a fan inside, which it says is a first.
OTN take
Our take: this is official, but only in China for now, starting at about 820 dollars. It’s heavy and made for gamers. If you mostly text, browse and take photos, you don’t need a fan in your pocket.
