Honor Gamepad smartphone gaming accessory has been announced at the Gamescom 2019 expo. It acts as a controller during gaming sessions and connects via Bluetooth. A 400mAh battery fuels the accessory. Honor at the event claimed that 18 percent of its users identify themselves as gamers, and for this reason, the company had introduced the accessory to cater the needs. The Honor Gamepad is compatible with most games and users can also map keys as per their requirement.
Honor Gamepad will work with any USB Type-C phone
Interestingly, the Honor Gamepad can be attached to any smartphone and will draw power the from smartphone's USB Type-C port when it runs out of battery. Sadly, this means that phones with good old microUSB port don't help when the accessory runs of juice. The Honor Gamepad packs 4 D-pad buttons, a joystick, shoulder button, and one extra button. Given the rise of smartphone gaming in recent times, it's no surprise Honor wants to bank on it. Unfortunately, though, the pricing and availability details aren't revealed yet, but we should learn more information soon.

The smart TV is available in a standard and Pro variants, with the latter packing a pop-up selfie camera.
