Honor has just launched two new performance-focused smartphones, the Win and the Win RT, in China. Both models feature Qualcomm’s flagship Snapdragon chipset, an active cooling fan, a 185 Hz OLED display, and a massive 10,000 mAh silicon-carbon battery with 100 W wired charging support.

Hardcore mobile gaming died like 10 years ago with NOVA 3, and it was clearly fading long before that. Phones can start to handle old console games, but you’d need a controller, which doesn’t make the whole setup any more portable than a Steam Deck.

Open source graphics drivers for the snapdragon 8 elite GPU’s should be hitting early next year but is pretty good now.
