Honor Note 10 with 6.95-inch screen, CPU Turbo, GPU Turbo, and 5,000mAh battery announced!

As expected, Honor launched the Honor Note 10. On paper, it is a pretty amazing 6.95-inch phablet with "cool" new tricks.

A new beast?

First, it is using an AMOLED panel with FHD+ resolution, HDR10 support, and AI image quality enhancement. The new AI image quality enhancement promises 20 percent increase in quality. We just don't know what type of increase of quality it is.

Under the hood, it is powered by the Kirin 970 SoC with NPU for AI tasks. But this time, Honor introduced a new tech dubbed as the CPU Turbo to compliment the GPU Turbo. It also has a Double Turbo mode with dedicated hardware button for the "ultimate" performance. By the way, the Turbo button also serves as  a camera shutter key.

Basically, CPU Turbo will overclock the Kirin 970 to provide a faster smartphone experience. The GPU Turbo on the other hand has up to 60 percent increase in GPU performance and up to 30 percent better power efficiency.

The Honor Note  10 also has the "THE NINE" liquid cooling tech with 8-layer heat dissipation.

Honor claimed that it has a "PC-grade" liquid cooling pipe which can provide up to 41 percent increase in heat dissipation and can lower the CPU temperature by up to 10 degrees Celsius.

It also has a massive 5,000mAh battery with 5V/4.5A super fast charging.
