The truth about GPU update - Huawei Mate 10 Questions & Answers

I mean anyone tried this and found it really innovant or this is purely marketing and advertising? Actually i m not really believing it with the numbers given by Huawei.
Perhaps there is more efficient way to handle software to minimize consumption but not as huawei said what do you think

Seeing as it only (currently) supports PUGB and Mobile Legends it feels like it's only advertising. Both those games seem popular in Asia as they receive fixes in updates on AL/TL firmware.

It only currently supports those 2 up to now because Huawei has the work with the game developers as far as I'm aware, it won't just work magically on its own, it's like when the Razer phone was released and they worked with game developers to support 120hz

Quote from GSMArena
https://m.gsmarena.com/review_huawei_gpu_turbo_update-news-32452.php
"As such, given the right software channels, a game could communicate to the GPU exactly what parts of the next rendered bunch of frames will be new and which parts are rendered elements, already in memory."
This is innovative because it hasn't been seen before in android (correct me if I'm wrong), also there are videos on YouTube with a live FPS counter while playing PubG that shows more stable and consistent frame rates, unless those videos are fake then I think Huawei is being truthful about it

Coreplayer developpers are working hard!!

Hey,
I guess how precious is the development of Coreplayer for Android!
lol, do we have any date for a working version??
I am sure that we are so many to wait impatiently this new application that will revolutionize the multimedia side of our "ANDROID" I hope that it will be as soon as possible!
[email protected]!D [email protected]!ON~
There's no official date yet, no. They were reporting that it wasn't possible with the latest NDK some months ago but I believe some progress has been made recently.
Two links for you to check out: -
The official thread for Core Player's Android development: http://forum.corecodec.com/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=2885
Core Player's Twitter account: http://twitter.com/CoreCodec
"Coreplayer developpers are working hard!!"
no they are not...
nope, they are still sitting on their ass, still no coreplayer Android.
Which are the Top 3 Video Players for Android ?
any Freeware ?
I use those (Summer player,Vital player, and Rockplayer) and they are availabe for free (with Ads) on the Android Market.
My favorite one so far is Summer Player since it's the most battery efficient among those and can manage to play RMVB codec based video better too.

I second that! They announced and demoed some sh!t for iphone 2-3 years ago, then said releasing soon, then jailbreak markets, then io4,than sh!t...vaporware... nothing yet...
announced android for ces...vaporware... nothing yet...
All you hear from CorePlayer support is everything ready, for the past one year, yet nothing out there...
If you have a product that is ready, just release it, and fix the bugs along the way... If you dont have a properly working product, dont spread waporware news just to stay up in the news... it will will bite u in the back later!
This company is nothing but vaporware! They may have something in the oven, but have not cooked and served anything but vaporware for the last 2-3 years...
I bet they are just 1-2 young developers living off their families' pockets... Else company that is developing something this long would go bust without earning anything...

Be mindful little one... You are spitting out buco ignorance.. Bottomline is you have no idea what or who you are talking about.
OEM is the core of our business... We have tens of millions of products on Andoid and iOS using technologies like CorePlayer. Just because it does not have our 'name' on it does not mean you are not using our technologies in those resective marketplace stores.
While we would like to publish newer consumer versions if CorePlayer, we have opted to instead focus our efforts on otherwise ATM. This does not mean 'we' will not release it to the public rather then licensing it to Developers for integration into their products, it just means not at the moment.
With CoreAVC 3.0 and CoreMVC 3D coming out in the next Few weeks we will once again focus in on our consumer efforts.
Focusing in something else "at the moment" is realy funny.
Darn long moment in my eyes.
You've been practizing this policy for more then 5 years.
Even the WM6 version was announced to be right around the corner for over a year.
Compared to coreplayer duke nukem was right on time
At your TTM I don't think you you will ever be able catch up with current development.
Good luck with it though.
P.s.: luckyly you can't delete unwanted posts in this forum, betaboy
Sean.... Did you not read what i posted? You are more than likely already using our technologies if you are using any if the leading solutions on iOS or Android.
@beta_boy
Can you tell us which apps use your technology? I'd really like to know.
you are spitting out buco ignorance...

I am sorry beta-boy, but did i miss anything different in your tone than in your PR releases?
I guess not... Same old buco ignorance in your own terms...
If you are so proud of your products, why not name a few out of the so called MILLIONS OF PRODUCTS on ANDROID?
Let me guess, I smell bull-crap! You are afraid to name them either because you dont have any products out there commercially, or the old debate about licensing issues... I m betting your so-called millions of products on android are based on no-name OEMs based in china where copy-right laws are as thin as air...

Back to the beginning again... Same crap again Vaporware. Android, 1.0, 2.0, now 3.0? iphone3g,3gs, ios 4? ios5? You say your code business is OEM? If it is so, than Why would you make bold PR noise for releasing products to mass market when/where actually you will never release, and say they are around the corner for the last 5 years?
A company so proud of its products, cant name a single one of their products out of the millions... I dont know what you call this where you are situated, but where I am, it is called bull-crap vaporware.
I am saying it again, I am betting you can not name it due to licensing/copy-right issues, or you dont have any! Prove me wrong, you wise BIG ONE. I am betting again, if you release full-featured codec support for android will not live very long, because of again, licensing issues, and you will be sued to your pants. Do I smell something? My nose never lies, there is something fishy about the core of your business, and hence all this vaporware...
Coreplayer was nice on WM5. If it is still "the fastest h264 software decoder" I sure could use it on android. But Betaboy, if you know it will never be released just tell us, or if there are other media players on the market using your tech, tell us which! Too arrogant an attitude you seem to have to your increasingly disenfranchised [customer] base.

[Q] Will Android ever seen games like Infinity Blade?

I couldn't help but realize that Android could never get something as detailed as Infinity Blade, but is there hope? And what handset could handle such graphics?
Here is the trailer/article of Infinity Blade:
http://www.redmondpie.com/epic-game...for-iphone-4-is-mind-blowingly-awesome-video/
Well the Samsung Galaxy S has a more powerful GPU than the iPhone 4 (SGX540 vs iPhone's SGX535). So theoretically better games can be made for Android.
But with Android being so widespread the high end games won't run on all Android phones. For example, my old HTC Hero doens't have OpenGL 2.0 support and sucks at all types of gaming.

The main problem isnt the hardware, android has the hardware to support most iOS games (excluding the first few models) but we're lacking the developer support. One day they might realise and then start android development, and then we'd have the definitively winning devices
Well both ID with their RAGE mobile engine have said they are using it for android development and EPIC has shown their unreal engine running on android...both on tablet and phone...its a matter of time now
the short answer... no at the moment.
Despite the fact I loathe apple, one thing I have to give to them is that their graphic engine for 3d games is much more superior than any android on the market.
Just compare playing Hero of Sparta on a SGS(which I own) as opposed to the Ipod touch. You can really feel the lag on the android.
However considering the fact that Sony annouced the PSP android phone, which is scheduled for next year, I am sure it is a issue that would be addressed by next year,
Apple has all good games, android do but not that much. I hope next year more developers will be porting games to android. I really would like to have a tap tap revenge on my vibrant.
I also think its quite difficult to develop games on the android due to the large range of resolutions and styles of each android phone. its a lot easier to develop a game if its based on a single type of phone with a single resolution - like the iphone is.
You guys are right. Perhaps is a matter of time, once they some how manage the fragmentation, like creating a gaming classification for handset manufacturers to encourage developers to make apps to that set class.
Hmmmm,
They should require a "minimum specification" phone for more advanced games (i.e >=1Ghz, >=Adreno 205/SGX535, <=512Mb ram, < 800*600 pixels screen, etc).
No one would expect a game like Crysis, etc to run on an Atom CPU? Why should it be any different on mobile phones?

iphone DO NOT HAVE Standard resolution any more
Iphone 4: Retina Display 640X960
Iphone 1/2/3: HVGA 320X480
and almost all android games can now run on QVGA/HVGA/WVGA without problems
it's just a developer thing...

This is exactly 2x size of iP3. Also the screen in iP4 from the API is handled the same as iP3 (so the resolution is treated as 320x480) but on iP4 we can have half-pixels, thus we can display a small dot in the position 100.5 that has size of 0.5 pixel. So this is exactly the same screen from developer's point of view.
The problem is money. If there was infinity blade for android people will file-share instantly. Iphone there are jailbreakers , but most of iphone population doesnt mind paying for the game.

That's a really bad blanket statement. I think you missed the recent article that said the developer of Pocket Legends made more money on Android than iOS.

RE the trailer:
The video was 98% renders from the PC and the other 3 seconds was from a phone, and it looked just as good as the best Android games.

Um... you never heard of Installous??? It's the one and only best iPhone black market app that provides the most convenient way of downloading pirated apps, where as for Android you need to rely on warez sites, then transferring them onto your device and then browse for it to install.
So technically the ratio of piracy on iOS is much much greater than Android. I haven't met a single person where I live that doesn't have Installous.

I have a few friends with iPhones that pirate apps, and none of my friends with androids do. Also when it comes down to it iOS or Android, the majority of users aren't pirating apps.
You need to Jailbreak to use installous. You don't need root to install warez. Might affect your ratios...
Before i Jailbroke all my friends iDevices and showed them installous I didn't know anyone apart from myself that used installous. Cant really judge this just by the ppl around you.
All I can be sure of is what i know, and i know my inexperienced mind was much happier to install warez on my unrooted hero than it was to jailbreak my iPod touch.
It's really not safe to pirate apps on android. I remember one guy here reported that his phone got a virus because of installing pirated apps. That's why I don't think about pirating apps, and all the apps I need are free. :-D
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Its most definetly possible, infinity blade only looks good because they use normal mapping and other tricks to give a "hi-res" model look, the problem was there wasnt really any android game engines that easily support those features, and its only supported on open gls 2.0.
Unity3d for android has come out afew months ago for the public and it supports all the fancey extras to get that graphically edge, same with unreal 3 engine, dungeon defenders was done in that and it looks pretty damn good, but i dont know when the android version of U3 will be released.
Im currently developing a game in unity3d and im blown away with current tests to how powerful these devices actually are.
edit:
Keep in mind infinity blade is a pretty crap game, swipe swipe swipe, repeat,

Did you read the whole articule before saying thats a bad statement. The articule tells you its an exception rather than the rule.
Look its very simple to understand. Developers will go where they will make the most money. Sure iphone has jailbreakers which I stated in my 1st post. But Android has easy file-sharing access. No developer will bust his a$$ just to make $100 off a game that takes him 6 months to make.
File-sharing is easy on android just like windows mobile 6,6.1, and 6.5 . Unless developers can make money the way they do in the iphone market , they will not make the games for Android. This is not opinion but plain real life facts.

i notice biggest disagreement with all current reviews is the battery, some say its charge lasts too short, some say its about right right and some praise it. I suspect results will also differ based on CPU.
My favourite so far MrMobile [Michael Fisher]
What's with all the reviews saying this phone is a tough sell or hard to recommend? It seriously must be from people who don't use the S-pen often. It's what makes this phone phenomenal. It's not a toss in. It's irreplaceable.
They also seem to say you shouldn't need to upgrade from your S8+... No kidding, this isn't for those people (generally).

It's basically the price. $900+ is new territory for a non-niche smartphone that reviewers are simply having a difficult time recommending people spend that much money without some mind blowing feature like a front fingerprint sensor embedded onto the screen or the first next gen processor of the year or a battery that gives 5000 mAH while remaining the same size or free wireless earbuds or a phone that will make you scrambled eggs and toast in the morning. Unfortunately, when the next iPhone rolls around for $1000+, those same reviewers will sing praises because it has new mind-blowing features like a bezel-less screen and all-glass construction and wireless charging.

If the differences between the S8+ and the Note 8 were the same as the differences between "Current iPhone" and "Upcoming iPhone", the tech media would call it "game changing" and "revolutionary". If an Android handset does try to do something different, like the secondary screen on the V10, the tech media calls it a gimmick. Tech journos would lick the sweat off of Tim Cooks balls and tell everyone it was a lovely unwooded Chardonnay with hints of citrus fruit.

I'll be interested to see her review on the Note 8 as, like you said, she seems to understand the fan-base that will be buying this phone.
Probably best to use this thread to add all reviews to it now. This is my review after 1 Week, with some tips and camera showcase. I had been using iPhone 7 Plus for a whole year as my main phone.

You are banging your head against a brick wall.
So few people understand the purpose of the Note range. They compare the Note 8 with the SGS8+ etc etc. Makes me wonder how such people can call themselves technical reviewers? I have seen this with EVERY Note released.
So few seem to understand the Note is not for everyone, it fills a clearly defined niche. There is the Galaxy 8 RANGE of mobiles and they are non comparable. The 8 is aimed at the majority who desire a top flag ship mobile. The 8+ is for those who want extra size and what we now call a 'phablet'. The Note 8 is exactly what it says, its mobile aimed at those who USE the bloody S-pen!
If you only new how puzzled I get when I read a post here or see a review where the poster says he has bought the Note but never uses the S-pen and then goes on to criticise the device?? I simply dont get it.
WHO WHO WHO goes to buy a car, lets say a Merc' E series, and compares the coupe with the saloon and the cabriolet? Who are these people? Three different cars to suit three different customers, with three different needs.
Like I have written previously, it's a shame the Note 8 has a greater IQ than 'some' of its critics.

Thanks for the post, must have taken you some time to arrange this for us. :good:
My comment is NOT aimed at you.
What qualifies a Youtube poster as "Professional" ? If one means salaried that's fine. I fear when most people read the term 'professional' they automatically think of a person with professional training and qualifications like an engineer etc.
In reality I suspect the vast majority of those who write or post review-clips are enthusiast's like us or just amateur's at best trying to earn a living?
A real professional review, and they are rare, will not pass an opinion only lay down the scientific facts for us to make our own conclusion, they are objective.
Far too often such 'so called reviews' are highly subjective and some are even based on financial rewards thus making them totally subjective and biased.
The problem is today anyone of us can open a Youtube account and post what clips we like. Must be very difficult for the novice buyer in today's market not knowing what to read-view or what is creditable and non creditable.
I am rather thankful I have been purchasing such devices since the late 1980's so have some knowledge and experience of what to look for. Its a mine field.

I agree many reviews are mainly subjective.
Few reviewers understand note taking and the cognitive benefits of writing information down as opposed to typing. This is why the reMarkable product has had so much backing from early adopters as there are few good tablet based pen solutions. The reviews I linked to are where there is an online tech magazine or blog that also has a YouTube channel. This is why I entitled it as "professional" as there are many reviewers that don't the time or resources to undertake a quality review. Also if you read the comment section for the YouTube reviews you'll see people do point out that not many reviewers understand the utility of the S Pen.

The Nexus 6P is a piece of cr*** for games, any games...

After owning that thing for more than 3 years(yes it still works and in use by my mother) and using a oneplus 6 for the last year I have decided that as much as I loved that the device it is a piece of garbage... The only things that makes it any good are the great cameras!
in the two years of using it as my main I loved the camera and the UI but gaming (anything, even 2d) was out of the question.
Simple 2D games that my friend's Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 ran at 60FPS I could barely play at 30.
Now after Years of being a Unity developer and creating complex games as much as simple games, No matter what I do I can't get the thing to run at 60FPS.
Then it hit me, The 6P can't run games even though it is more than capable and I have no Idea why...
In the attached image below, You can see the OnePlus 6 running the game in about 2.68 ms per frame and waiting for the the rest of the time to hit 16ms per frame.
below that you see the darn nexus 6p... it takes less than 4 ms to calculate the frames, it takes less than 1ms to calculate the logic yet the game spikes all over the place with waiting times of up to 50 ms making the game unplayable at 10-60 fps.
it is a very simple game: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.Awesometon.ColorStomp&hl=en
This game runs easily on all other phones that I've tried(including my friend's Redmi Note 4).
I want to understand once and for all, Why does the 6P suck at performance so much to the point of being slower than a low-mid range phone?
It can clearly calculate the frames fast enough yet it fails to present them.
Devs?
Because its 3 years difference between them?
If you do not not have the intention to play Pupb or what's it called on a stable and well developed rom and perhaps in addition a good custom kernel with the right settings, have I difficulties to get a understanding of your expectations.
I am not that keen to game anymore, but some stuff like Implosion and some of the newer jump'n'run's with more attention on pastel/contrast richness, have I no noteworthy issues.

The mido has his issues as well, even with the often used Snapdragon 625 and such android plattform like MIUI.
They each have their own merits.

The problem is not gaming on PUBG and heavy 3D games, It's even on the most simple 2D games.
Simply moving a square on screen (or even an empty scene in unity) works slowly on this device.
Yes I know the redmi is newer however it is also weaker processing power wise...

That can very much be the case.. Therefore the comparison is a not that pointed out, hm.
I just tried a new port CS and the real time multi-player runs basically without lags.
The same goes for Implosion.
But I am not running for office.
Nevertheless remains the actual point of opening such a thread with this tone, beside the whining, just as quizzing; to be clear.
So next time, no Angler.
Please leave me not here with such essential questions hanging.
Many heaps
I think the main culprit is the 1440p screen. As far as I remember all the SD810 phones came with the 1080p display.
I trid GFX+ app for pubg. It will allow you to play PUBG at 1080p. I am able to play with slight lag. Much better than stick 1440p default.
If you can find an app that play all the games in 1080P resolution then you may achieve 60 FPS.

Antutu site has downloable APKs again :-)

Happened after Biden was made president elect. Lets hope whats left of Huawei can also renegotiate trading relationships with the US?
So glad the world is writing a new chapter for 2021.

You mean AnTuTu availability? Does it make it less of a spyware, its de facto standard benchmarking notwithstanding?

Hey do you live in the same world as I do? 1) You can set antutu not to share information after a bench mark! Duh custom rom an permissions control an root. 2) the Poco X3 an X3 NFC is a 'Chinese made' cell.
Everyone steals each others data all the time for marketing China Russia USA. Every country on earth.
Its the world we live in. I dont care if someone knows I like French midget porn (I dont but this is a for instance), then get marketed best french midget dating sites adds.
You shouldnt either.
They only want your consumer data an many companies like 'Huawei' for instance even let you know you can share consumer data in contracts for apps an services in huawei cellphones.
Its all above board an legal an is not theft (if consumers have thier eyes open),
people need to stop this Trumpist thinking of 'China = evil'.
I am stopping now before I get told off for discussing politics
Just so you know, I'm European. But I also happen to be of the "All empires are evil" persuasion.
The main reason the PX3 isn't my daily driver yet is mostly because I haven't managed to set it up to be as kosher as I want it to... and truth be told, I don't really do much benchmarking.

Fair enough. I got a bit impassioned before. Well being European your probably a sensible person. Its ok that you don't do much benchmarking. I take silly risks an sometimes brick cellphones. You are less likely to do that as you probably don't break my rule 'no experimenting when tired'.
I swear I do the sillest things when I'm tired.
My Mi9 is still waiting around for me to pay to unbrick it lol
