Last week, Huawei held a conference
and announced a few new products that made a huge stir in the net. The Honor 9i
is already available for purchase at a price tag of 1399 yuan. But we are more
interested in the first smartphone featuring Huawei’s new and scary technology
dubbed as the GPU Turbo. Of course, it has become a buzzword recently, and many
accuse Huawei saying this technology is a marketing gimmick.
The Huawei Play has been also promoted as a game
phone. But we used to see the game smartphones come with a different look and
way more powerful hardware. At least, the latest game devices in face of the
Xiaomi Black Shark, Nubia Red Magic, and the Asus Rog game smartphone sport
features like that. Anyway, the Play can be considered as a relatively
budget-friendly handset for gaming purposes, in which software plays the main
role.
Our protagonist is packed with a 6.3-inch
full-screen with an aspect ratio of 19.5:9, a Kirin 970 processor,
4+64GB/6+64GB memory combinations, a 16MP front camera, 16+2MP dual-camera on
the back supporting AI, a 3750mAh battery, and many more.
There have been announced a few color options
including Magic Night Black, Aurora Blue, and Nebula Purple. At this moment,
only the former two variants are available on multiple e-commerce platforms
such as Huawei mall, Jingdong, Tmall, Suning, Gome, Gome, Vipshop, etc. the
lower variant is priced at 1999 yuan, while the higher version comes at 2399
yuan.
