Honor Play: A performance-oriented gaming smartphone featuring GPU Turbo, Kirin 970 AI chipset, and 4D Smart Shock haptics.
The Honor Play was launched as a dedicated gaming smartphone, bringing flagship-level performance to a more accessible price point. It debuted Huawei's 'GPU Turbo' technology, which optimizes hardware-software integration to provide higher frame rates and better power efficiency during intense gaming. The device features a '4D Gaming Experience' with AI-driven real-time haptic feedback (4D Smart Shock) that vibrates based on in-game actions like explosions or gunfire. Built with a sturdy metal unibody and a 6.3-inch notched display, it runs on the Kirin 970 chipset—the same processor found in the high-end P20 Pro—ensuring smooth multitasking and AI-enhanced photography.
