\nToday we\u2019ve got the Honor Play in the house ready to roll up on the likes of Xiaomi\u2019s Poco F1 and the OnePlus 6. This device is the definition of budget-level cost with flagship-aimed specs. How Huawei\u2019s Honor manages to deliver a device like this with these specs at this price, I\u2019ve not yet been able to figure out. But let\u2019s take a peek here and drop in on our first and main questions.
The Honor Play is the first in what we must assume is a series of devices from Huawei that aim for OnePlus and Poco like a heat-seeking missile. When it comes to delivering a smartphone that looks and feels like a top-tier device, yet doing so on a budget, China\u2019s on point. And more specifically, Huawei\u2019s Honor is on point.
With the Honor Play we\u2019ve got a rather gamer-like, gamer-looking, gamer-aimed sort of exterior. We\u2019re given the standard rubbery transparent case in the box for basic protection \u2013 that\u2019s what you see here. Also included in the box is a power cord, a single wall socket, and some documentation. Just the basics.
Look at that red shine right on top of black. This is what a custom piece of gaming-aimed piece of electronics looks like. But it\u2019s not custom-made or custom-painted, it\u2019s made for mass consumption. Cross your fingers it does well so we see more extreme accents in smartphones of all sorts.
The Honor Play has a 6.3-inch display with 1080 x 2340 pixels with IPS LCD technology. It\u2019s running Android 8.1 Oreo with EMUI 8.1 on top \u2013 that\u2019s the standard Huawei-made software made to make the entire Huawei and Honor family of phones unique in this ever-changing industry of Androids.
Under the hood we\u2019ve got a Hisilicon Kirin 970 chipset \u2013 that\u2019s Octa-core (4\u00d72.4 GHz Cortex-A73 & 4\u00d71.8 GHz Cortex-A53) with a Mali-G72 MP12 GPU. This device comes with either 4 or 6GB of RAM and 64GB internal storage.
It\u2019s metal, it\u2019s smooth, and it\u2019s got a notch up front. It\u2019s relatively speedy, and battery life seems to be decent so far. Think at least a full day of gaming at a time.
