Honor 10 GT and Honor V10 GT Announced

On the afternoon of July 2, Honor held a conference. Honor president Zhao Ming presented two special smartphones in face of the Honor 10 GT and the Honor V10 GT. Their biggest highlight is that they upgraded to the revolutionary graphics acceleration technology dubbed GPU Turbo (GT). Thus, we can state these are the original Honor 10 and Honor V10 with a new technology. But the truth is there are more surprises.

GPU Turbo

GPU Turbo was called ‘a scary technology’ by Yu Chengdong. It has been developed by Huawei’s 2012 lab, software team, overseas research institute, operating system underlying technical team, and chip team for five years. It opened up the EMUI operating system and GPU/ Processing bottlenecks between CPU hardware, through software and hardware optimization and coordination. Thanks to special technologies it can improve the graphics processing efficiency of smartphones by up to 60% while reducing power consumption by nearly 30%.

On June 6, Honor also launched the first model supporting this scary technology. It was the Honor Play. At this moment, Huawei and Honor are pushing GPU Turbo to more than 20 mainstream models and tablets that have been released in past two years. Thus, with this move, they bring GPU Turbo to three platforms in face of the Kirin 970, Kirin 960, and Kirin 659.

As for the original Honor V10, the first batch of the update reached 2000 users on June 14. The second batch went live for 20.000 users on June 21. On June 29, the rest of all owners were able to download and update their phones to this new technology. Thus, the whole process took only 16 days. As for now, the Honor V10 GT comes with GPU Turbo pre-installed.

The Honor 10 has also taken action. On June 28, the first batch including 2,000 units was able to get the update. According to the plan, it will be opened to the second batch of 20,000 people on July 5 and will pass the membership on July 15. Thus, the whole process will take only 18 days. After, the Honor 10 GT will enter the game.

In addition to graphics performance improvements, GPU Turbo’s power saving effect is also very significant. According to the official data, the Honor 10 GT will consume 2-3% or even 1% in the standby time for 8 hours at night.

Super Night Scene Mode

In addition to the GPU Turbo, the Honor 10 GT will also get a powerful photo-taking skill with a super night scene.

For the first time, the Mate 10 series introduces the Super Night Scene mode. With a fixed device, you can shoot beautiful night photos that match the camera with a long exposure. The P20 series further adds the handheld night scene mode with AIS technology.

AIS Smart Image Stabilization is based on the traditional electronic image stabilization (EIS) and optical image stabilization (OIS). With the unique AI artificial intelligence processing capability of the neural network unit (NPU) integrated into the Kirin 970, an AI smart anti-shake feature is developed. This soft and hard coordination has been made to solve the night shooting problem.

With the handheld super night scene mode, when shooting a night photo, even if there is no tripod, the user simply holds the phone and performs a series of processes such as AI handheld detection, AI light detection, AI anti-shake processing, AI image synthesis, and so on within 6 seconds.

Prior to this, the Mate 10 series has already enjoyed the handheld night scene mode, which makes the old users pleasantly surprised. Now the Honor 10 can also enjoy this magical skill. According to the plan, the handheld super night scene mode of the Honor 10 will start beta on July 12 and start pushing at the end of July.

If the above two upgrades have been expected, then the birth of the Honor 10 GT 8GB memory version is a surprise. You should know that this is the first 8GB memory model of the entire Huawei smartphone series. Not accidentally, it releases with Honor brand.

It will be available for purchase starting July 24. The pricing will be revealed later.

When it comes to specs, the Honor 10 uses a curved glass body and the industry’s first color-changing aurora coating process.
