HyperEngine Game Technology

The HyperEngine game technology ensures fast and smooth gaming action with intelligent networking and resource management. It has an intelligent speed uplift for rapid gameplay and call and data concurrency. This ensures that there is no lag in connection even when the WiFi or LTE signal is weak as it intelligently triggers concurrency within 13 milliseconds. The feature also allows the user to defer calls in-game without a drop in connection. It also intelligently manages CPU, GPU, and memory for longer gameplay.
