Huawei sub-brand Honor has launched its latest mid-range offering in India – the Honor Play. The new phone was teased many times before this and notably had already started selling in China before this, another special edition of the phone with laser etched back is also retailing in the mainland. Honor has partnered with Amazon where the device will sell exclusively, and for promotions, Honor has joined hands with Audi to promote the ‘crazy fast’ crazy smart’ campaign for Honor Play and Audi for R8 LMS. The New Honor Play comes with huge AI additions to the phone and Honor’s in-house manufactured Kirin 970 SoC. Without further ado, let’s check out what the Honor Play sports along with its pricing.

Honor Play Specifications
The first thing which strikes the eye about the Honor Play is the FullView 6.3-inch LCD which comes with a 19.5:9 aspect ratio and 1080×2340 Full HD+ pixel resolution. The phone boasts of an 83% screen-to-body ratio thanks to a very narrow notch. The device comes in two configurations – first one with 4GB RAM + 64GB storage and 6GB RAM + 64GB storage. Users will also have the luxury of a hybrid card slot in case they want to expand the storage.
The phone doesn’t slack in computing power as it sports Huawei’s very own Kirin 970 Octa-core processor which clocks a frequency of 2.4 GHz (4×2.4 GHz Cortex-A73 & 4×1.8 GHz Cortex-A53) and comes accompanied by Mali-G72 MP12 GPU for graphics. The phone also packs a dedicated NPU which enables AI based functions on the phone. Honor has also equipped the phone with its GPU Turbo feature that makes its place to many other smartphones by the company.
