Embark on a daring adventure, delve into the mysterious jungle, climb rocks, traverse suspension bridges, unravel ancient mysteries, and uncover the history and treasure secrets of lost temples. Each play feels like watching an amazing animated movie… This is how a player specialized in action-adventure games describes their gaming experience. For many contemporary young people, gaming is not just entertainment but a lifestyle.
Rejecting internal friction, one can indulge in a cathartic release. ‘The reason I play games is that I usually have too much pressure. In games, it’s different; I can fully control my life, conquering all obstacles, and enjoy a cathartic experience,’ says Wang Gang, a post-00s gamer. Do you remember the popular video ‘Back to the Village for Three Days, My Second Uncle Healed My Mental Friction’? While facing stress and anxiety, young people long for a way to heal their mental friction. This is true for the recently popular short dramas and games. In fact, short dramas and games are similar in experience, catering to people’s fantasies and psychological needs, allowing them to find a way to vent amidst real-life pressures and dilemmas. Some describe the feeling of playing games as ‘being the protagonist of a satisfying drama,’ but the former brings more satisfaction because satisfying dramas are just ‘watching,’ while a good gaming experience has a stronger sense of immersion, truly becoming the protagonist. To do a job well, one must first sharpen their tools. To play games well and truly become the protagonist of a satisfying drama, one must have the strongest equipment. Playing mobile games also requires a powerful smartphone. The newly released Honor GT series is just that, with the underlying support of the Honor Phantom Engine, coupled with the third-generation Snapdragon 8 flagship chip, and the full-blood performance of LPDDR5X memory and UFS4. 0 flash memory, it’s a stable frame king. When Wang Gang tried the Honor GT series, he found that the feeling of cathartic satisfaction also came from its built-in Honor Game Manager: ‘What is cathartic satisfaction? First, one must reach an immersive state of self-forgetfulness, completely discarding real-life friction and pressure, and integrating with the game character. The texture, the details, the touch, all are very different from my previous gaming experiences, and there are no frame drops or overheating during the game, the feeling of pointing and hitting is very satisfying. ‘ All of this is thanks to the Honor Phantom Engine’s industry-first AI rendering separation technology, which accurately predicts frame drops, uses asynchronous computing technology for independent compensation calculation, generates key frames with real displacement, lighting, and other effects, and fills them in, successfully eliminating the key frame drops in high-load game scenarios, achieving as low as 0.A 1% jitter rate and the ‘zero jitter’ full-frame stable frame game experience left Wang Gang extremely satisfied. A seasoned gamer once said that entering a game is like entering a whole new world. To achieve this, the game’s graphics, frame rate, and touch control must all cross the critical point. This is easily understood; imagine if the game is always lagging, the picture quality is unclear, and the operation does not follow your hands, it is certain to break the immersion and prevent a cathartic release.
To enjoy mobile gaming to the fullest, a gaming controller is indispensable; otherwise, simply swiping on glass makes it hard to advance in rankings. Wang Gang found that the Honor Game Manager and controller are a perfect match; once connected, the gaming experience instantly upgrades: ‘For fighting games, the most important thing is combos, and using a controller is like swimming in water; I can easily execute a series of gorgeous moves, leaving my opponents defenseless. Playing racing games is similar; with a controller, it feels like you’re actually driving a race car, easily drifting around corners and experiencing the thrill of speed.’ Just as young people like to ‘find partners,’ the cathartic release from mobile gaming also requires ‘partners’ in software and services to maximize the charm of the game and immerse young people more deeply. Honor’s internet services are the optimal choice for achieving this, continuously expanding the boundaries of users’ leisure and entertainment experiences through in-depth user insights and advanced AI technology. Discarding troubles, a sense of relaxation comes from simplicity. Phrases like ‘It’s such a hassle,’ ‘I can’t wait anymore,’ and ‘a sense of relaxation’… can be said to be catchphrases among many young people. A survey on the patience threshold of British people shows that if a webpage takes more than 1 minute to open, 70% of people start to get impatient; the average tolerance limit for a phone call is 5 minutes and 4 seconds; if the waiting time for a meal exceeds 8 minutes and 38 seconds, people get angry. British people are like this, and Chinese young people are even more so. Daily game sign-ins are too troublesome. Another post-2000s player, Li Feng, said that game sign-ins are both a sense of ritual and a way to receive generous game benefits, but signing in to games every day consecutively is very troublesome and easy to forget, thus missing out on some benefits. However, he recently discovered that the Honor GT series has added a new feature that allows game sign-ins with just a sentence. ‘It’s a very peculiar feeling, how to put it? It’s like having an assistant following me; all I have to do is speak, and she takes care of the troublesome tasks for me.’ This is the ‘One-Sentence Sign-In’ feature created by Honor’s internet services, which can meet users’ high-frequency needs to complete sign-ins quickly. The newly added ‘Traffic Light Countdown’ feature by YOYO Suggestions is similar.Recently graduated, Zhang Yi confessed to experiencing ‘red light anxiety’ during his drives, feeling as if seconds were like days. Recently, when encountering red lights while driving, his phone’s smart capsules, notifications, and lock screen would display a countdown of the traffic light. “This feature is very practical for me, almost like a God’s-eye view. It’s not an exaggeration to say that the countdown has cured my ‘red light anxiety.
‘” What is relaxation? It is both physical and mental ease, largely stemming from simplicity, for only with simplicity can one have a sense of control, and only with control can one achieve relaxation. Young people who are not defined are opening up infinite possibilities, rejecting internal friction, and seeking a thorough release; they reject trouble and keep relaxation always by their side, which is the lifestyle pursued by contemporary youth. We often see phrases like ‘Post-00s reforming XX,’ which is because they are a new generation, not defined by others, and they want to have their own unique way of life. It must be said that this generation is fortunate; they were born in the era of mobile internet and have encountered the surging AI era. With these technological innovations, they can achieve their dreams. Zhao Lin, a junior in college, has a small daily pleasure you might not guess: playing with phone themes. On her Honor 300 phone, she discovered four very interesting customized themes. These themes are not only beautiful but also interactive, like mini-games, and the process of playing with them is very therapeutic. She enjoys immersive ‘cloud pet raising’ in ‘Healing Little Monster,’ interacting with seals in ‘Seal Shake,’ feeling the sea breeze in ‘Eye of Time,’ and looking forward to an aerial view of the city and ocean in ‘Magic Kaleidoscope’. .. Who would have thought that themes could also be rejuvenated in the AI era? The combination of AI technology and aesthetics makes themes not only beautiful but also fun. For example, in the newly released Honor GT phone, Honor Themes launched the ‘Dimension Mechanics’ theme, where the metallic mechanical structure and creative pressure-sensitive playfulness complement each other, providing users with a sensory feast of technology and futurism. Not only that, but the Honor GT also offers three color options: ‘Crystal White,’ ‘Phantom Black,’ and ‘Aurora Green.’ Among them, the Aurora Green version inherits the classic HONOR ‘big LOGO’ design from the Honor 30 series, fully meeting the current trend aesthetic needs of young people. (Starting price at 2199, isn’t it tempting!) It’s hard not to marvel at such a magical digital life, as if it has magic, allowing the lifestyle of young people to be rejuvenated and even opening up infinite possibilities.Of course, the prerequisite for all this is the continuous emergence of technological and service innovations. Take Honor’s internet services as an example. They create products with the concept of dual-wheel drive. One wheel continuously and deeply perceives the real needs of users. The other wheel meets user needs through innovations such as AI and aesthetics. The two wheels push each other, thus resulting in many innovative functions and services mentioned above.
Take the bullet screen notification of the game butler as an example. It is based on the insight into the pain point of game players being troubled by message pop-ups at critical moments of team battles. Honor’s internet services have created a bullet screen notification function that can adjust the number and transparency of bullet screens, allowing users to neither miss wonderful operations nor important messages. Other functions such as off-peak updates and downloading while playing are the same. If you want to experience this technologically renewed smart digital life in a more tangible way, from December 19th to December 22nd, it is recommended that you visit the Guangzhou station of the Honor Internet Service Enjoy Life Festival. Here, through a combination of online and offline methods, high-quality smart digital life is brought to users from the cloud. The presentation method adopts an immersive smart scene, which is both beautiful and fun. I believe that after experiencing it, you will have a new understanding and open up a greater imagination space for high-quality digital life.
