The operating system that the Huawei Y Max runs on is the Android 8.1 Oreo which gives user a smooth experience.

We tried playing PUBG Mobile on the phone and to our surprise, it can perform really well even when the setting is all set to high and on HD Graphic. Besides that, we also tried several games like Asphalt 8 and Epic Seven. Both games performed as well as PUBG Mobile on the phone, Asphalt 8 is one of those games that require a smooth phone to play otherwise it will ruin the gaming experience but i find that the phone handled the games well which is more than I expected from it.
