Huawei’s flagship phablet, the Honor Note 10, was launched today amid much fanfare at an event in China. The event was live-streamed for fans in India eager for a glimpse at the device. The premium offering by Honor was released with unique nine-layered cooling technology on board along with a host of other features that enhance the gaming experience.

Additionally, the Huawei Honor Note 10 features a Turbo mode, which can be enabled using a dedicated physical ‘Turbo’ button on the device. The Turbo button has been implemented into the UI for easy access while gaming. It can also be used as a shutter button when using the device’s camera app, which also comes with various AI enhancements. On the camera front, the Honor Note 10 gets a 16MP + 24MP AI dual-camera setup at the rear.

Perhaps the most impressive feature of the Honor Note 10 is its massive 5,000mAh capacity battery, something that was reported earlier as well. The phablet will be available in two colours, Phantom Blue and Midnight Black, and it will also be released in a special Honor Note 10 GT edition in lily white.

It won’t be an exaggeration to say that the Honor Note 10 heavily tilts in favour of gamers. For that purpose, there’s multi-channel game audio to assist in gaming. Additionally, the phone will vibrate in particular in-game scenarios, the company has said. And, with assistance from the cooling technology that prevents overheating, a common complaint with heavy gamers, the device packs a punch in an attempt to provide a thrilling gaming experience.

Simultaneously, Huawei also confirmed the price for the Honor Play at 2,399 yuan and announced the launch of two new laptops dubbed ‘Magic Book’ at the event.
