PLAY BOLD WITH HONOR
Regular
( or not- so- regular) gamers can understand the frustration of frame drops and lags in the middle of their favourite game. While the concept of gaming smartphones is still alien to Indian buyers, there are enough millennials who indulge in occasional gaming on their mobile devices, and most of the times, the CPU performance just doesn’t measure up, especially since the device is doing a whole lot of other things in parallel.
Huawei was one of the first companies that dedicated an entire R& D team to look into effective utilisation of compute power and in real- time allocate processor bandwidth depending on a matrix that prioritises the critical applications. To woo the mobile gaming community, the Honor Play comes with a cool new technology that turbo charges your device, especially while gaming. Honor claims that, thanks to its GPU Turbo tech, it increases processing by 60 per cent, and the single frame System- on- Chip energy consumption is reduced by 30 per cent. The GPU Turbo tech also minimises jitters and maintains a comfortable frame rate all through. In essence, this is an additional software layer, which records your game frames and stores it so you do not need to render the same frames every time you play them. You simply invoke the older ones and the processor intelligently pastes the new graphic elements on top of the GPU Turbo layer.
Honor Play comes with a separate neural processing unit in addition to Huawei’s trademark Kirin 970 chipset, which accelerates AI capabilities. Its 16 MP and 2 MP Dual rear camera backed with AI technology auto-identifies scene types and adjust the camera settings accordingly. The AI- driven algorithms identify 22 objects real time and 500+ scenarios in real time, besides aiding in motion detection.
The phone also leverages AI to create intelligent image galleries by collating your pics and videos, tagging and categorising them intelligently. With a 6.3inch screen and powered by a 3,750 mAh battery, Honor Play is priced at ` 19,999 ( 4 GB plus 64 GB) and ` 23,999 ( 6 GB plus 64 GB). The devices are currently available exclusively on Amazon.
