Honor has just launched two new performance-focused smartphones, the Win and the Win RT, in China. Both models feature Qualcomm’s flagship Snapdragon chipset, an active cooling fan, a 185 Hz OLED display, and a massive 10,000 mAh silicon-carbon battery with 100 W wired charging support.
Are there actual phone games that would benefit from this? I haven’t had much luck finding games that are actually even much of a game at all, let alone ones that would benefit from gaming hardware.
Does anyone know of actual cool Android games to look at?
Besides the high end gacha games and a handful of PS3 era ports, it’s all about emulation. PC gaming with Gamehub improves as FEX/proton/wine improve along with graphics drivers
Open source graphics drivers for the snapdragon 8 elite GPU’s should be hitting early next year but is pretty good now. There are early emulators for android for PS3 and X360 just even worse compatibility than on PC so right now the high end and pretty good compatibility platforms for android are Nintendo Switch and PC
I appreciate the recommendations! I find it funny that the only real recommendations are things I would barely call games, otherwise they’re non-phone games I have to trick into not realizing they’re on a phone. 😂
Hardcore mobile gaming died like 10 years ago with NOVA 3, and it was clearly fading long before that. Phones can start to handle old console games, but you’d need a controller, which doesn’t make the whole setup any more portable than a Steam Deck.

I’ve spent a stupid amount of time on 2048 but I don’t think it needs special gaming hardware.
