Mobile gaming has taken a huge leap forward recently. With games like Player Unknown’s Battlegrounds we’ve moved beyond the typical ‘mobile game’. We now have games that can offer the type of graphically-intensive experience previously limited to a PC or console, which can be taxing on even the most powerful mobile hardware.
So if you want to get the most out of them you’re going to need the right phone. A phone that can actually boost the power of its hardware without causing the battery to drain faster than it should. That phone is the Honor Play with its built-in GPU Turbo technology.
GPU Turbo is new revolutionary graphics-processing acceleration technology from Huawei, helping to increase the graphical performance by 60% while reducing the amount of power consumed by 30%. That optimises the gaming performance, and in the process offers a smoother gaming experience beyond that of competing brands.
Even though the Honor Play is a budget device, GPU Turbo means it’s able to outperform more powerful devices like the iPhone X and Samsung S9. The GPU Turbo-boosted Play has a consistently higher frame-rate when playing graphically-intensive games like PUBG Mobile.
Neither device have those advanced performance-enhancing features either. The iPhone X has no dedicated gaming mode, and the OnePlus is only able to prioritise the game while minimising distractions. GPU Turbo means the Honor Play is capable of offering an experience superior to that of general phone usage - especially with a game like Mobile Legends, which has been tested and functions exceptionally well under GPU’s influence. Honor has promised more games are on the way, so don’t be put off by the short list.
Wider performance
But performance is one thing. GPU turbo also comes with an extra features designed to improve immersion. That means 3D surround sound, and the 4D Smart Shock. Smart Shock is an advanced form of haptic feedback, causing the Honor Play to rumble at appropriate moments.
If you’re shooting at an enemy in PUBG for example, it’ll vibrate with each bullet fired and help you feel like you’re really there trying to win that chicken dinner. It’s an intelligent system that recognises what it is you’re trying to do, and matches it accordingly. That works for swapping skills, switching weapons, and more, not just the shooting.
But the Honor Play has more to offer beyond GPU Turbo. It has a 6.3-inch Full HD full-screen display, alongside Kirin 970 octa-core processor, 4GB RAM and a 3,750mAh battery. That hardware has a lot of potential, even without GPU Turbo boosting the performance.
So for gamers who need a phone that works day-to-day, and offers the best, long-lasting performance during your play time you need to look no further than the Honor Play. The fact it won’t cost the earth is just an added bonus.
