Today, Huawei has introduced the Honor 10 GT as its first smartphone with 8 GB of RAM as enhanced edition of the Honor 10 that was introduced in April this year. Also, the Honor 10 GT features GPU Turbo (GT) technology that significantly improves the graphics performance of the smartphone.
In June, Huawei’s sub-brand Honor had introduced Honor Play with GPU Turbo feature. The latter is a software and hardware optimized graphics acceleration technology that enhances the graphics performance of a smartphone by 60 percent and at the same time it consumes 30 percent less power. Huawei is in the process of making it available to several Huawei and Honor phones through a software update.
