The Honor Play may come with a bunch of features, but at the end, it’s designed to be a gaming device. Let’s take a quick look at some of the gaming-centric features that the phone has to offer.

Kicking things off with the processor. The Honor Play is powered by the company’s current flagship chipset, the Kirin 970. This is the same chipset that is used in the company’s flagship device, the Honor 10.

Of course, the highlight of the phone is its GPU Turbo technology. The Honor Play was the first device to offer the tech, which claims to offer a 60% increase in performance, while reducing power consumption for 30%.

That’s not all, in order to improve the gaming experience, the Honor Play features something called 4D Smart Shock. This offers real-time image and audio recognition for over 30 different scenario.

It will offer 10 different levels of vibrations, based on the direction of approaching enemies or gunfire. Currently, the system is supported by PUBG Mobile, but the list should increase overtimes.

The Honor Play also offers 3D Surround Sound, which makes gaming with headphones on quite a treat.

The Honor Play also sports a reasonably large 3750mAh battery. When you do run out of power, fast charging helps ensure that you get back to gaming quicky.

So, what’s your favourite gaming feature of the Honor Play? What features you you like to be added in future iterations? Let your thoughts be known below.

Like we said earlier, post your comments and stand to win an Honor 10 worth ₹33K and up to ₹70,000 PayTM money. For more info, check here in a new tab for more details.

Kirin 970 is not at Snapdragon 845 or Tegra X1's levels for GPU performance.

As per XDA's testing, GPU turbo can't do what it claimed. It is a failure.

So what? Kirin 970 is equivalent to S835 making it a good SoC. At a price of 20k, I don't know why you are even complaining. S660 is inferior to it, which is the next best SoC at that price segment.

Both the testings of xda & GSMArena shows a reduction in frame drops. XDA didn't get improved in power consumption but GSMArean did, strange. You should look at some other articles as well.

Honor never said it would improve fps, so I would say GPU Turbo is ok, not a failure. It was surely made for marketing & the name is kind of misleading as many people will think it improves performance.

Kirin 970 for 20k is still better than stupid pocophone by xiaomi which only have SD845 and is made of plastic with ugly design.I think honor play will sale like hot cakes phone looks cool with decent camera and fast processor what more anyone expect from 20k phone

Right off the assembly line
Like the Honor's play AI bases camera features.
For addition it's not a camera feature well the phone should have a front face led light for better selfies in low light.

Even that won't be priced lower than 25k IMO.
 
Wasn't the update supposed to improve "performance"?
From what I remember it was performance efficiency or something. They cleverly used the words, so normal people will think performance upgrade but if you read carefully you will know that they never claimed it.

It's kind of shady but at least not a false claim like Lenovo with that Z5.
