What will Honor launch at IFA 2018?
Bizarrely, Honor’s plans for IFA 2018 are no secret. It will officially announce the Honor Play smartphone, a device that is already official elsewhere in the world. In fact, we’ve already reviewed it.
Anyhoo, here’s what to expect:
Honor Play
- 6.3in Honor FullView Display, 89% screen-to-body ratio
- EMUI 8.2 (based on Android Oreo 8.1)
- Kirin 970 AI chipset with GPU Turbo and AI NPU
- 4D gaming experience with Smart Shock
- 3D sound effects
- 16Mp + 2Mp Dual AI camera, AI Portrait Mode, 3D Portrait Lighting
- AI Face Unlock
- 3,750mAh battery for 1.5-day life with heavy use
- Available in Midnight Black, Navy Blue and Ultra Violet (Player Edition in Black and Red)
Honor claims its GPU Turbo offers a 60 percent performance and 30 percent efficiency boost over the Kirin 960, with almost full FPS and FPS stability in games.
