Huawei Honor brand at a dedicated event today has taken the wrap off its much-rumored smartphone -the Honor Note T10. The device as expected is as enormous as the Mi Max 3 from Xiaomi but comes with a higher price tag than the Mi Max 3.
A major highlight of the Honor Note 10 like we explained here is the presence of a special button which you can use to trigger the GPU Turbo Tech, CPU Turbo, and Double Turbo mode for optimum performance. The device also houses a large enough battery but is 500mAh battery short of the one embedded in the Mi Max 3. Also part of the mouth-watering package is the so-called ‘ NINE’ liquid cooling technology with 8-layer heat dissipation and a PC-grade liquid cooling pipe that promises 41% increase in heat dissipation and CPU temperature reduction of up to 10° C. These technologies are said to enhance the performance of the device, especially during intense gaming sessions.
