Here's the live stream, from 1pm BST Thursday August 30
By harnessing the power of GPU Turbo (exclusive to Honor phones), Honor Play is built for demanding, next-gen gaming. Honor play uses GPU Turbo to squeeze more performance out of the phone's graphics chip, without sacrificing battery life or inflating the price. It's all done via software optimisation, letting the System on a Chip (SoC) run at lower temperatures and with less jitter. That means more intense gaming, with faster frame rates, for longer.
If you want cold, hard stats, GPU Turbo offers performance gains of up to 60% while energy consumption drops by up to 30% on systems with identical processors. But to see the magic for yourself, you'll need to watch the launch.
Honor always seems to deliver the goods when it comes to making mobile without compromise, yet at brilliantly affordable prices. We'll have a review of Honor's new gaming secret weapon up as soon as possible afterwards, so watch this space…
