Gamescom (stylized as gamescom) is an annual trade fair for games held in Germany. This year’s edition began yesterday, August 20, and will run until Saturday, August 24. Chinese smartphone maker, Honor, was at the fair yesterday where it unveiled the Honor GamePad.
The Honor GamePad is a controller that attaches to your phone via USB-C but actually works over Bluetooth. The USB-C connection is to supply and or draw power from your phone. Yes, the 400mAh built-in battery can supply power o your phone during intense gaming when needed. It can also draw power from the phone too.
The Honor GamePad comes in black with bright yellow buttons. There is a trigger button at the top along with a joystick and a D-pad. There is also a black button below the D-pad. XDA-Developers reports that the buttons are customizable but dependent on the game’s own settings.
Honor didn’t reveal the price of the gamepad or when it will be available. However, they did say it will be sold in Western Europe later this year. While the controller is designed for Honor phones, the adjustable clamp should make it work for most devices (with USB-C).
