Honor Play Special Edition Specifications

  General 

     The Honor Play is similar in terms of design to multiple other Honor and Huawei smartphones that we have seen so far this year. It comes with a large 6.3-inch notched FullView IPS LCD display with 1080 x 2340 Full HD+ resolution, 19.5:9 aspect ratio, and a 2.5D curved glass layer on top. Under the hood, Honor Play is powered by a Kirin 970 octa-core processor clocked at 2.4 GHz with a Mali-G72 MP12 GPU and a dedicated NPU for AI features. For a smoother gaming experience, the Honor Play comes with Huawei’s GPU Turbo technology as well. In terms of memory, the Honor Play comes in two configurations – 4GB RAM + 64GB storage and 6GB RAM + 64GB storage. If you wish to expand the storage further, you will need to choose between adding a second SIM card or a microSD card as the smartphone features Hybrid Dual-SIM slots.

  Camera

On the back of the Honor Play is a vertically-stacked 16MP + 2MP dual-camera setup with various AI-powered features like AI Scene Detection and AI Portrait Mode to help users click great images. The primary 16MP snapper has been coupled with a f/2.2 aperture, while the 2MP secondary sensor is paired with a f/2.4 aperture. For selfies and video calls, the Honor Play features a 16MP snapper on the front that uses pixel binning technology to achieve an effective pixel size of 2.0um. This is done by combining the information from four individual pixels to create one large pixel.

  Connectivity

Connectivity features include Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac dual-band, Bluetooth 4.2 Low Energy, GPS with A-GPS, GLONASS, NFC, USB Type-C, and Dual 4G VoLTE. The Honor Play packs a 3750mAh capacity battery with fast charging support. In the audio department, the smartphone impresses with 7.1-channel Listen audio. It also includes a circular fingerprint sensor on the back. The smartphone measures 157.91 x 74.27 x 7.84mm and weighs in at 176 grams. In terms of software, the Honor Play runs on the Android 8.1 Oreo operating system out of the box with the EMUI 8.2 custom skin on top.

  Availability

The Honor Play is set to launch in India as an Amazon-exclusive in India on the 6th of August. While the smartphone is available in two memory configurations in China, Honor is bringing only the 6GB RAM + 64GB storage variant of the Honor Play in India. We can expect the smartphone to be priced at somewhere around Rs.25,000 in India, which would make it the most affordable Kirin 970-powered Honor smartphone on sale in India.

Moreover, the phone will be available in two colors, red and black only.

Both variants will have an attractive back design that features laser-engraved lines. Additionally, there are red accents for the rear camera setup and a fingerprint scanner on both hues, as you can see from the promo image below.
