How Good is Huawei Nova 3 and Nova 3i for Heavy Gaming?

Gaming phones have been getting a lot of attention recently. Optimal performance, large battery, and a dedicated gaming mode is a must these days. But, it’s not easy to find a gaming phone on a budget. We have limited options and we have to compromise on some features to get some other features. For example, we might get a phone with good performance but it might be short on battery capacity. So, it gets a little tricky if you want a phone that can play games like PUBG at optimal settings for more than a couple of hours.

And, this is where phones like Nova 3 and Nova 3i can perform better. They come with a large battery and the hardware is sufficient for optimal performance. There might be phones with better performance at the price but Nova 3 and Nova 3i provide both; performance and battery along with Huawei’s GPU Turbo.

Huawei Nova 3 comes with 6 gigs of RAM, 128 gigs of internal storage which can be expanded using a micro SD card. Meanwhile, we get Kirin 970 Chipset with GPU Turbo. The Kirin 970 is the same processor that was used in its flagship device P20 Pro. Internet browsing, opening apps, and multitasking are smooth. It runs most of the intense title with relative ease. On the plus side, the GPU Turbo really helps to conserve the battery even while gaming. Also, the thermal management of this device is equally good. You’ll not face any heating issue with this device. Also, it has 3750 mAh battery.

Huawei Nova 3i gets 4 gigs of RAM, 128 gigs of internal storage which can be expanded using a micro SD card. Meanwhile, we get an upgraded Kirin 710 chipsets with GPU Turbo. The Kirin 710 is a huge step up from the Kirin 659. Internet browsing, opening apps, and multitasking are smooth. It runs most of the intense titles pretty comfortably. And similar to the Nova 3, it comes with GPU Turbo. Also, it has 3340 mAh battery.

Instead of pushing the processor to its limit, GPU Turbo involves improving the GPU’s overall performance by increasing its efficiency. With the inclusion of GPU Turbo, even mid-range phones will be able to run graphically taxing games at higher frame rates with HDR effects. Furthermore, GPU Turbo will be used to optimize the EMUI experience on Huawei and Honor devices. It will support innovative applications like AR and VR, opening the doors of possibilities to applications such as virtual classroom, online shopping, telemedicine, and more.

However, we can say that both of these devices can do heavy gaming at optimal levels for a long period of time. Users can enjoy games for a much longer period because of large battery and efficiency provided by the GPU Turbo.
