introduction

The alluring but always elusive gaming smartphone – many have tried to build it, even Razer, but no one has made it perfect. Now Honor is also getting into the gaming race, but with a new concept. Instead of size, the new Honor Play strives for affordability. And that’s a very welcome turn of events.

The Honor Play looks like most smartphones today – a metal body, a notched screen and a dual camera on the back. The Kirin 970 chip is responsible for the gaming session and the Play comes with Huawei’s GPU Turbo natively.

Huawei Honor Play review

The Kirin 970 is known as one of the most efficient pieces of hardware for mobile gaming – it doesn’t cost that much but offers stable and sustainable performance. And with GPU Turbo, it can only get better.

The 6.3-inch 1080p screen, notch or not, is enough for gaming purposes, there’s a big battery, and you can have the Honor Play with either 4 or 6GB of RAM. And at this attractive price at launch – CNY 1,999, INR £19,999, £279, €329 – make us curious.

Honor Play Specifications:

  • Body: Aluminum body, 157.9 x 74.3 x 7.5mm, 176g
  • Screen: 6.3-inch 2340 x 1080 pixels (19.5:9) IPS LCD, 409 ppi, notched
  • chipset: HiSilicon Kirin 970, Octa-Core (4 x 2.4GHz Cortex-A73 & 4 x 1.8GHz Cortex-A53), Mali-G72 MP12 GPU
  • Memory: 4/6 GB RAM, 64 GB storage, (hybrid) microSD slot
  • Camera: Dual: 16 MP RGB (f/2.2) + 2 MP for depth measurement, phase detection autofocus; 2160p @ 30fps video
  • Selfie Cam: 16 MP (f/2.0), 1080p video
  • Operating system: Android 8.1 Oreo with Huawei EMUI 8.2 + AI features
  • Battery: 3,750 mAh non-removable, 18W fast charge
  • Connectivity: Dual Nano SIM; USB-C (USB 2.0), NFC, Bluetooth 4.2, GPS, GLONASS
  • Various: Rear-mounted fingerprint sensor, single bottom-firing speaker, 3.5mm audio jack

Many omissions can be forgiven when a phone is as affordable as the Honor Play. Like the notch. And the hybrid SIM slot. And the lack of FM radio.

Huawei Honor Play review

Huawei is about to launch the Kirin 980 chipset at any moment, which has made it possible to bring the Kirin 970 price down even further while still keeping it valuable thanks to recent GPU turbo upgrades. We’ve already seen that it’s not just a PR conversation and that turbo can make a difference, so the Honor Play seems like a thoughtful addition to the otherwise crowded Honor range.

The phone is already available in China and India, while Europe is getting it. Will it still play? Let’s find out!

Unpacking the Honor Play

The Honor Play’s white retail box includes the phone itself, a white USB-C cable and a white 18W charger. Headphones aren’t included, but an analog audio connection is available, so you can hook up your favorite pair.

Inside the paper compartment is a transparent soft case, which might not be as important on a metal phone as it is on a glass-backed phone, but we appreciate it nonetheless.
