Reading Time: 4 minutes
Honor Play will be first to deliver the phenomenally fast mobile gaming and entertainment experience that gamers have always wanted.
SINGAPORE, Aug. 1, 2018 – Honor launched the Honor Play today, the first of a game changing new product series to deliver the revolutionary fast gaming and entertainment experience the global gaming industry has been waiting for. The Honor Play is a performance beast with the groundbreaking graphics processing technology GPU Turbo to meet young gamers’ demands for “lightning fast” graphics processing capability and extended battery life.
Honor Play offers young people what they really want from their smartphone, an immersive non-stop gaming and entertainment experience. However, this experience has been plagued by space and capacity problems, thermal efficiency and battery consumption issues because of the popularity of multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) games, and because AR, VR and HDR rendering rely on fast graphic processing power. Working with PUBG MOBILE, which is one of the most popular MOBA games, Honor took every effort to not only solve these performance problems but develop the first-ever gamer-oriented phone, the Honor Play – a “Game On” moment for the industry because it will redefine the mobile gaming user experience at an affordable price point of SGD429.
The Honor Play offers an unprecedented gaming performance and a 24/7 “Always On” entertainment experience. This launch brings two ground-breaking and industry leading smartphone technologies to gamers and casual users – Honor’s new GPU Turbo to increase graphic and computing efficiency, and the advanced AI technology to revolutionize smartphone camera function.
The GPU Turbo is an innovative hardware-software integration solution that leaves Honor’s competitors trailing in the dust. As the global official strategic partner of PUBG MOBILE, Honor Play has dramatically increased the graphics processing and boosted the average frame rate to 39.46[1] on PUBG MOBILE. The jitter rate has been reduced to 0.21%, more than a full percentage point below Honor’s key rivals, and the battery life has a 30-minute lead over other flagship devices with 4.5 hours of solid gameplay.
The Honor Play offers a 4D gaming experience which includes 3D audio effects and AI vibration that supports 30 different scenario vibrations[2] customized for most popular mobile games. This is complemented by the 3D surround sound by Histen 3D audio technology, an ultra-wide 3D sound field that immerses the player in a cinematic audio experience.
The Honor Play is one of the smartest mid-range phones on the market. With AI motion detection and intelligent recognition, snapshots using the 16MP front camera are now easier than ever before. The huge 3,750 mAh battery also allows for heavy gaming and entertainment use, equaling more than 15 hours of video streaming and 95 hours for music playback, even with the 6.3-inch FullView FHD+ display. A range of smart features are enabled by the Kirin 970 NPU chipset which, together with EMUI 8.2, unleashes a truly AI-mazing processing power.
The slim and subtle unibody metal design comes in a range of colors for all gamers: Midnight Black, Navy Blue, Ultra-Violet, and a special Black Player Edition. The design retains the body of a typical 5.5-inch screen device to ensure it fits comfortably in your hand and packs a 19.5:9 bezel-less display.
The Honor Play is available through the exclusive distributor Raduga Pte Ltd in Singapore and is now open for pre-order purchase on www.qoo10.sg/shop/honor for SGD429 till August 6. The official launch date for Honor Play is set on 7 August and will subsequently be available at selected retail stores and all official online partners which includes Qoo10, Shopee and Lazada.
“The Honor Play is a new moment for the global gaming industry. Honor will be the first to offer a phenomenally fun mobile gaming and entertainment experience, paving the future for mobile gaming worldwide.” said George Zhao, President of Honor.
Honor Play fans will have the opportunity to put their skills to the test and compete with and against the world’s star gamers at Gamescom this year, on PUBG MOBILE and Asphalt 9. Both games have been customized for the Honor Play, with many others due to be announced shortly.
Sharing the same passion for speed and performance, Honor is partnering with Audi Sports R8 LMS Cup that combines the sleek design and blistering performance of the Audi R8 and Honor Play to deliver the unimaginable.

Everything comes back around in popularity or at least that is what they say. It has happened with vinyl records and now the same is occurring with retro video games. Yes, classic video games have become popular as children of the 1980s and 1990s have grown older and moved into the workforce. But classic games haven’t just become popular to play. People are spending large sums of money on classic games from 20 and 30 years ago and owners who sell the games are making tidy sums. Gamers looking for classic games online can find free casino slot games inspired by retro video games.
Why are classic games popular again?
Classic video games are becoming popular as many older gamers look for a nostalgia factor. Playing games from their childhood brings back memories of yesteryear. Old Nintendo games are a link to the past for many gamers and it is something they don’t want to lose. Nintendo announced in August that it would release a back catalogue of classic games for a new platform. The move will capitalise on the growing number of people looking for older games rather than newer ones. Many older games have inspired online slots which has driven their popularity sky-high.
In addition to personal reasons, today’s mega-blockbuster video games are seen as too violent by many. While video games of the past were an escape from reality, modern games are based – at least loosely – on the problems of the world. From first person shooters to Grand Theft Auto, many older gamers want to play games that don’t reflect reality.
How much are rare video games worth?
A recent study of rare and nostalgic video games from the last 30 years has found a number of old games selling for large sums of money. According to one source, a copy of Nintendo’s Campus Challenge 1991 sells for around $22,000. Amazingly, the now rare game cost just $30 back in 1991. Gamers who had a copy could cash-in on Campus Challenge if they are able to find it. Other rare games selling for big money include the 1988 Sega Megadrive edition of Tetris and Atari’s Air Raid from 1982.
Ultimate 11 is another that is high on the rare games list. According to reports, only 10 copies exist and each goes for $10,000. Kizuna Encounter had only 15 English versions created and is reportedly worth $13,000. One video game collector paid $55,000 for a copy of both games in 2009.
…And then there’s E.T.
In 1982, Atari rushed E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial video game into the marketplace. Atari gave E.T.’s creator just five and a half weeks to develop the game. The company wanted it out in time for Christmas and to reap the rewards of the holiday season. The rushed game was awful and gamers hated it. It barely sold and Atari had warehouses chocked full of E.T. games it couldn’t sell. Unable to move the games and with Atari becoming obsolete by the mid-1980s, the company buried hundreds of thousands of copies of E.T. and other games in the New Mexico desert. Some have been dug up and rare copies of the game have sold for $1,535 at auction. The excavators of the long-lost cartridges found 900 E.T. games in total. After selling them on eBay, the group made $108,000.
Keen to use the technical know-how of SoftSwiss, combined with their profound experience and insightful knowledge of igaming, the team behind the brand is poised to give it their all to entertain players using the best that technology can offer.

What is more, the player-oriented brand rolls out a solid library of the top game providers such as NetEnt, Yggdrasil, Microgaming, Play’n GO, NYX and a plethora of other popular game providers. Thanks to the SoftSwiss Game Aggregator, iLucki establishes a vast portfolio of over 40 game brands.
