I see the M5 Mediapads are going to start receiving the GPU Turbo later in the month.
"Huawei, via its official Weibo*account, has announced that its latest Android tablet, the*Huawei Mediapad M5*would be getting a new software update that will bring to it the game boasting*GPU Turbo technology. The update is set to roll out this month, and that will make the Mediapad M5 the first tablet to have the tech in place. No specific*date has been announced for the update to arrive, but it's certain it will arrive sooner."

Not sure if this also includes Oreo 8.1, but will be interesting to see if there are noticable improvements in performance and battery.

Thanks. Interesting what it will bring. In terms of power efficiency, I already think it's fine. The major power drain is from the display when it's on.
Guess I should test the update just released for the Pro edition with regard to this.

Yeah, I think the battery efficiency is specific to gaming in the turbo mode, it's meant to improve performance by 60%, while at the same time using 30% less battery.....
But I agree in general very happy with the battery life on my M5 Pro.
Unfortunately their was never any real explanation of how Huawei are achieving this GPU Turbo feat, but for gamers to have faster frame rates with far less battery is great if true.

Yeah I don't think it would of been included (although your link to did say Power and Battery optimizations), but all of the other Kirin 970 devices that have implemented the 'GPU Turbo' have had to register on Huaweis private forums. https://club.huawei.com/forum.html
So not sure if the M5 tablets will just get a general roll-out or will also have to enrol for the beta.
In fact it looks like it will start private beta in mid July .
https://club.huawei.com/thread-16416385-1-1.html
So we won't likely see a general release until the end of month or a bit after I think....
While I still haven't recieved the C432 update for my M5 Pro, I decided to load the Huawei Firmware Finder tool...
I can see that there has been 2 releases of the GPU Turbo update for the tablets, that are available....
The latest at least for CMR-W19 and CMR-AL19 pro models is CMR-AL19C00B171 (8.0.0.171) from 14th of July
This update adds the Huawei GPU Turbo acceleration technology, which improves graphic processing efficiency.
Adds the Huawei GPU Turbo acceleration technology. You can now enjoy smoother gaming. It's recommended that you enable Gaming mode in Game Suite for a better gaming experience.
Adds the HiTouch feature for online shopping. You can tap product images with two fingers to activate product recognition.
Optimizes the system power consumption in certain scenarios.
Optimizes compatibility with several third-party apps.
Integrates Google security patches released in Jun 2018 for improved system security.

The update is 247Mb for anyone feeling adventurous.
Apparently the GPU Turbo is now officially available for the MediaPad M5 as an OTA update.
https://www.gizchina.com/2018/07/20/gpu-turbo-update-now-available-for-huawei-mediapad-m5/
I still haven't recieved the C432 update with June security patch.
Starting to become a little annoyed with Huawei and their updates or lack thereof.
Yes the China version seem to got the Gpu turbo update, hope the eu version get it soon. I'm not worry about updates as this point from Huawei, M5 got 3 updates already, my M2 get if I remember right 2 ota updates in 2 years period ?? they forgot that device completely. Hope they do a better job this time.

Yes it just seems annoying that others have June security patch, I'm still on May, and I can already see July security patch in the firmware finder.
As for the GPU Update, I'm concerned that I've seen written that Huawei aren't updating US model phones with GPU Turbo, and I unfortunately purchased from Amazon US.
If I don't receive the GPU turbo update, this would be my first and last Huawei product. :crying:
Any review?

I've been really dissapointed by the Mi4i. Its a mostly all round, fantastic phone. But, I just can't get used to the subpar performance. This got me thinking, is the processor really to blame or is it poorly optimized software.....
Well, just check out this video of the Moto X play. Same specs pretty much, but buttery smooth. Also in a recent Reddit AMA, the Moto X play is said to barely heat up atall. Pretty sure Motorola have worked some magic on the software front and I'm wondering if it'll be possible to use bits from its kernel source (When released) to improve our experience.

I so hope this phone gets updated soon! So close to perfection....

mi4i lag problem is because of the throttle and hotplug kicks in way too early .
just adjust / remove them and you won't have lag problem anymore. (modify thermal config )
as for the heat, I'm also interested on moto x play "no heat" claim, we'll see in more reviews later ..
but you can try to set cpu runs at 533/499 interactive . (or at least lower than default 960/800 )
all above works nice in miui

so, basicly is all come from the software?

Hello to all owners of the new beloved device for all of us htc fans.
I have created a benchmarking app last year called UxBench that is available on playstore for free and with no ads. I was just curious about this types of applications and how they can be consistent and accurate in the results.
I wonder if someone of the owners of the 11 can run the program and post here a screenshot or post the results from inside the app.
I have found until now that performance has to do also with software oprimizations and it is not only depended on hardware.
Last week an s8 reached the top after some months where huaweis were in top. I wonder really how high the 11 can be in this list having in mind that the 11 already has a great score despite the older hardware.
The test is very quick about 1-2 minutes. No need to worry about getting hot.

Thanks! I was sure the 11 is the fastest! I have seen videos in youtube showing a difference in app opening and multitasking with s8. Also my app shows clearly that software plays a great role in performance.
The storage reading is a little low. This is an unbuffered reading of text files. If that was a little higher the device could go about 220000.

So does anyone know if huawei is affected by the newest cpu bugs?
Seeing that ARM states that cortex a72 is affected, kirin 960 is almost definitely affected.
as i know, kirin 960 meldtdown=no / spectre=yes
Every month it is some other security breach... I am losing hope in technology.
The question is: when we'll have a tool to check devices (both mobiles and PCs, any OS) for these vulnerabilities ?
EDIT: the mighty Alex Ionescu (ReactOS) published a Windows utility !

Huawei is preparing a "very scary" technology that can change all of its devices
https://infoglitz.com/polandeng/hua...echnology-that-can-change-all-of-its-devices/
What is that? What they will make? Software or hardware? Will P20 Pro be able to use "scary technology "?
Or it will be new P20 Pro with Kirin 980?
It sounds like AI battery optimization to me.
Sounds like a bad translation to me.

Like the recent case with zte, US can pressure Google not to grant the Android license to Huawei, that the worst case scenario.

Some leaks say that Huawei will remove/modify Android's Dalvik to speed system up, and rename the new system to Kirin OS. And of cause, someone has already said that.
No worry about US gov's decision, chineses gov won't agree.
The "scary technology " has been revealed by Huawei today and dubbed "GPU turbo ". Interesting thing is that we probably get this on our p20's as well

Yes but that's with an upgraded GPU. This is software related and can be achieved with existing compatible hardware.

Hi
My phone is EML-L29 8.1.0.132 (c636)
Is the GPU turbo already released for this phone?
Or Huawei firmware finder is the only way to update it?
I'm waiting eagerly as you are bro
I got GPU Trubo update 1+ months ago.
EML-L29 C432 8.1.0.164
Fairly certain if you live in the uk, it's not going to arrive.
C782 is dead to Huawei
I just got the GPU Turbo update a few days ago.
Not notice any performance or battery gain at the moment.
I just notice inside the PUBG game, i can go to higher level of frame rate from "high" to "ultra" and running very smoothly.
Didn't notice battery or heat gain at the moment.
But i have tried once the phone is not charging even there is a "flash" icon beside the battery.
After reboot, it is fine again.
the p20 lite and p20 pro seem to be getting gpu updates but in small ammounts before the normal p20 users will be waiting for ever i sure i seen santa before i se an update .. uk EE here
I have GPU Turbo update. But the GPU Turbo works on 3 games ATM. And they maybe will add 2 more games this year.
It's pretty much useless unless you play a lot of PUBG or some other MOBA that's supported.
