The AI chip that I found helpful in battery optimization, point and shoot photography, and even network data utilization.
What's just funny to you maybe a good help to others -,-

    Im making fun from those 500 scenes that have no sense of existing, because they do exactly the same thing... Things like you mentioned can be implemented in any camera, it dont need separate chip.

        ZolaIII, 06 Jun 2018No bootloader unlock no deal. Sorry Huawei even pricing is tempting. Yep that's a very good point, i've just got the P20 Pro which is a meaty device, i actually got my code so i can root, run custom roms etc.

        But you're totally right, if the bootloader was locked down now then i would not touch them with a barge pole.

Like Opsu!*, (yes,the exclamation mark is part of the name), HIT, Mobas (and there are quite awesome ones like Mobile Legends, Heroes of order and Chaos), not fan of Moba? How about Real Racing 3? This one literally saps a huge chunk of your graphical prowess. There are also a lot of 3D intensive MMORPGs. Not to mention PUBG. Should I continue the list? Or you got what I'm talking about?
            Notes:
            Opsu is the android version of the highly popular rhythmical game Osu!

                        Not only that. There's still the Honor View. Which is also the same phone as the honor 10 BUT without the notch.

                        Nonetheless, no new honor phone has the same convenience as the old Honor 8 so none of these newer models are interesting. They are all compromised. You always loose something compared to the 8. Which literally had it all, including laser-assisted focus, headphone-jack, except the Lieca branding.

                        It was fun while it lasted. But now I wouldn't want any of these anymore. If only Nokia would implement an IR-blaster in their models!

At least it's better than 7870.

                                  Nevertheless, this is the cheapest, affordable, high specs gaming phone yet.

                                    Anonymous, 06 Jun 2018what are you expecting for around $300 USD? Top chipset=$$$.300$ value might be variable across regions. In developed regions you might expect the likes of 7870-equipped Samsung J8 or similar performers with their 'loved' chipset, but here in the developing regions, 300$ is quite a fortune for a device that we'll use for pretty much a year IMHO.
