Honor Play to get a massive new update today, could be CPU Turbo technology

The Honor Play, which was unveiled just last week in India, is most likely going to have a major update announced for it today. The information comes from a Weibo post by the company which shows the two Honor Play devices, one red and one black, with a motherboard-like design on it. Now it isn't clear on what exactly will the update be, but it can be assumed that it will be performance related.[caption id="attachment_4903571" align="alignnone" width="1280"]

This CPU Turbo is not to be confused with GPU Turbo technology which is already present in the Honor Play. Together with CPU and GPU Turbo, the Honor Play could quite likely become a powerful gaming house of a device.There is also the possibility of this device getting an 8 GB RAM plus 128 GB storage variant. This would make the Honor Play a real competitor to the likes of OnePlus 6 and the Asus ZenFone 5Z. Or to be honest it could just be a normal software update, with few minor increments in the software. In any case, we are sure to know today about the launch.(Also read: Honor Play review: Only meant for mobile gamers.
