Honor 10, View 10, Huawei P20 Pro and others to get GPU Turbo; Mate 10 to get 960fps Slow Motion too
Huawei has disclosed a list of its smartphones that will receive GPU Turbo technology. This list is comprised of flagships such as the P20 series, all the way to budget offerings such as the Honor 9 Lite.
There have been some exciting developments emerging from CES Asia 2018. Huawei held a conference today where it announced that the Mate 10 series would be among the first of its smartphones to receive a GPU Turbo boost feature via an upcoming software update. While the primary focus began with introducing new features on the Mate 10 series devices, Huawei surprised everyone by revealing a full list of its devices that were on track to receive the GPU Turbo feature update. Huawei claims that this feature will increase GPU processing power by up to 60% while dropping power consumption by 30%.
Pushing out such a feature with a software update was probably made easier since Huawei mostly uses its in-house manufactured SoCs from HiSilicon on its devices. The Mate 10 will receive this update by the end of this month with the other devices to follow suit in stages.
