Honor 10 receives GPU Turbo update

honor 10

The flagship honor 10 is the first honor device to receive the GPU Turbo enhancement via a software update. The update is available today. As you may know, the gaming-focused honor Play was the first device to debut the technology. Mother brand Huawei also recently rolled out the update to the nova 3i several days ago.

GPU Turbo is a hardware-software integration solution that unlocks the true potential of mobile hardware and increases graphics performance.

The technology turbocharges performance on the Kirin 970 flagship chip and new Kirin 710.

According to Huawei, its engineers have re-engineered how graphics are processed at system level.

The result? A 60 percent improvement in graphics performance while reducing energy consumption by 30 percent. It’s not all about quantity. You’ll also notice enhanced graphics quality, even if the game does not support HDR.

Based on internal tests, the Kirin 970-powered honor Play delivers 30 minutes more game time than the iPhone X, and about 15 minutes more than a Snapdragon 845 smartphone.

It also delivers 5fps more than the Xiaomi Black Shark and 10fps more than a Snapdragon 845 device.

It’s not all about power and frames per second. There’s also something called Smart Shock 4D that gives the device a “Dual-Shock”-like experience – with vibrating effects during gameplay.

This applies to selected games like PUBG Mobile.

Apart from mobile gaming, GPU Turbo will deliver an optimised EMUI experience for supported Huawei devices.

To recap, the honor 10 is the top-of-the-line smartphone from honor. It’s beautiful and powerful, featuring a stunning “Aurora Glass” body that curves on all sides and has an ever-changing sheen.

It’s powered by the 10nm octa-core Kirin 970 with a built-in NPU and it’s mated to 4GB of RAM and 128GB of storage.

It has a beautiful 5.84-inch bezel-less Full View 2.0 FHD+ display and a 3,400mAh battery.

It impresses in the camera department with a 24MP + 16MP f/1.8 dual-camera system with AI-assistance. The camera is the industry’s first with Semantic Image Segmentation that can identify multiple objects within a single image.

On the front, it features an equally impressive 24MP front shooter.
