Furiounx, 09 Oct 2018My issue with gaming phones is that they always compromise ... moreAlso also QHD resolution is literally useless. It’s good in VR,YouTube and marketing but it wont be useful in stuff like gaming. Most new games dont even run at 1080p max settings.

    Furiounx, 09 Oct 2018My issue with gaming phones is that they always compromise ... moreI thought that the whole point of gaming phones is to use lower-grade components for non-game-related features so that you can bring down the price without compromising SoC hence the graphic performance. Also in order to extend the battery life they tend to have large battery capacity and use a cheaper, lower resolution display.

      Furiounx, 09 Oct 2018My issue with gaming phones is that they always compromise ... moreSo you basically want a flagship?

      Gaming phones (obviously) focus on the gaming compartment. The things they need are good amount of ram,a good processor,heat dissipating techniques and a good battery.

      A better screen,and stuff like game optimization softwares etc could be a bonus.

        Realistic1, 09 Oct 2018Large battery + extremley fast charging = Someone get the f... moreUsually this type of rapid charging technology comes with a special battery protection mechanism. VOOC from Oppo for example has electric converter inside the charger so that the phone itself won't heat up. It's likely that Huawei's Super Charge is also using similar technology, and then 50W Super VOOC has been made possible by basically dividing a battery cell into 2 smaller ones and charging them at half the voltage simultaneously, which prevents both overheating and rapid battery degradation. We'll soon see how 40W Super Charge 2 on this phone will hold up.

          if this has no notch, no front facing camera, side mounted charging ports, front speakers this will be my next phone

              ... There is no good phone games that worth you buying a gaming phone.

              Tip. Save $$, and buy a GPD Win2 is a better deal.

                Large battery + extremley fast charging = Someone get the fire extinguisher

                or: "why is my battery bad?" questions after just a year...

                  They probably going to put their phone intoan ice brick as per teaser

                    Anonymous, 09 Oct 2018It won't be below 700, at least not the Pro or X versionsHonor Note 10 is their last gaming phone with bigger battery, heatpipes and big screen device for $450. Specs is top notch with few things compromise (camera especially). - https://youtu.be/SSWh9m3oxFQ

                    In my opinion, a gaming phone should focus only on raw performance instead of other features, at a budget price. They already have Mate 20 pro as a complete flagship phone. And their Honor series, the 'X' word stands for budget type of phone. Well lets wait for it.

                      Shui8, 09 Oct 2018Wow didnt expect this coming. Big Heatpipes. Big batter... morecount me in!

                              My issue with gaming phones is that they always compromise on something. If they can provide a gaming phone with IP67+, QuadHD display, front facing stereo speakers, great rear cameras (dual cameras at least) and a big battery (Bigger than Mate 20 Pro so maybe 4200mAh+) then that'll be a winner for sure.

                                A Big battery and a big heat pipe - another similarity to the Note9.

                                It will be interesting to pit them against each other.

                                  Huawei has been killing it lately. All excellent phones with little to no compromises.

                                  I wonder which will be the more premium phone, the Pro or the X?
