I thought it meant someone let Microsoft WinRT escape from hell.

Not even Microsoft was putting Windows on their Surface Duo phones, I think we can safely say mobile Windows is dead...

I've spent a stupid amount of time on 2048 but I don't think it needs special gaming hardware.

Besides the high end gacha games and a handful of PS3 era ports, it's all about emulation. PC gaming with Gamehub improves as FEX/proton/wine improve along with graphics drivers

Open source graphics drivers for the snapdragon 8 elite GPU's should be hitting early next year but is pretty good now. There are early emulators for android for PS3 and X360 just even worse compatibility than on PC so right now the high end and pretty good compatibility platforms for android are Nintendo Switch and PC

Hardcore mobile gaming died like 10 years ago with NOVA 3, and it was clearly fading long before that. Phones can start to handle old console games, but you'd need a controller, which doesn't make the whole setup any more portable than a Steam Deck.

80 W wireless charging

That even one ups the Oneplus 50W that requires a custom charging pad (or something I think). I find it quite ironical that wireless charging on some phones is now more than twice as fast as that on Pixel series (Wired)

And those 10kAh will last how long on that system?

If you cannot unlock the bootloader, it's not truly your phone, and Honor has a tendency to block bootloader unlocking

Don't they have gaming duration limits in China, what will they do with these huge batteries

The phone will be relevant outside of China as well. Most countries with well developed cellular infrastructure, phones from Chinese brands are widely available through normal retailers. Pretty much just the US where you have to import most Chinese phone brands. Same with Chinese EVs. None in the US. Available in a lot of countries though
