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.
That even one ups the Oneplus 50W that requires a custom charging pad (or something I think). I find it quite ironical that wireless charging on some phones is now more than twice as fast as that on Pixel series (Wired)
The phone will be relevant outside of China as well. Most countries with well developed cellular infrastructure, phones from Chinese brands are widely available through normal retailers. Pretty much just the US where you have to import most Chinese phone brands. Same with Chinese EVs. None in the US. Available in a lot of countries though
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.

Don’t they have gaming duration limits in China, what will they do with these huge batteries

thought this meant it ran windows 😭
I thought it meant someone let Microsoft WinRT escape from hell.
Not even Microsoft was putting Windows on their Surface Duo phones, I think we can safely say mobile Windows is dead…
And those 10kAh will last how long on that system?

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