Not sure if anyone seen how this GPU Turbo feature works though. I am kind of skeptical on how their claims. Unlike CPU where it turbos to a high clockspeed to complete a task faster in order to go back to idle, GPU can't really benefit from supposed Turbo when you are gaming. Gaming usually keeps the GPU working all the time for as long as you are gaming. Boosting clockspeed means higher frame rates, but at the expense of battery life. So I actually don't see how it can boost frame rate and battery life at the same time.

something like AMD Mentle?

Maybe like how desktop GPU gets optimised over time with new drivers?

Anyway, I ran into couple of issues with my Mate 10 Pro last and this week.
1) Right after I update to FW 135, my notification is really messed up. Gmail, Whatsapp, Carousell notifications works sporadically.

2) Virtual keyboard will not appear when I need to type in Chrome browser and Whatsapp. Had to restart the phone to get the keyboard to appear properly.

Will monitor to see what other issues will appear with each passing firmware. :o

Not sure if it works that way, but the name GPU Turbo don't suggest that way at least. Looking forward to see some review on how they pull it off.

60% improvement don't sound like a normal driver update. Haha.
Gave me an impression that they overclock the gpu. Keke

60% improvement does sound too good to be true. I'm happy if it's 20% and get rid of the stutter when I'm playing PUBG :s13:

I have tried it out and it says USB C headset is not certified, use a Huawei certified type C... Although not certified, works fine for me.

Version 138 is the newest I believe, assuming you are just using the OTA updates on the phone.
Singtel mate 10 non pro just updated 135 last night. Haven't tried to use a picture of mine to fool the facial recognition. But my daughter's face sure is unable to unlock it even though she looks like me. LoL

woot! i did below tests.

1. displayed my picture on a big screen, raised my phone to wake, unable to unlock.

2. displayed a selfie video of about 10 seconds on PC screen, also unable to unlock.

3. printed my picture on A4 paper, also unable to unlock.

the facial recognition software seems to have countermeasures to detect 2D photo and video attacks, good work.

The face recognition is pretty cool. Other observations: more free space and free memory after update.

Ya, we don't need so many app store. Let me know if you can uninstall it.
