Reviews for the Honor Play

90% Honor Play review
Source: Tech Advisor Archive.org version
The Honor Play joins the rest of the Huawei and Honor family in running EMUI, the company’s Android skin, which skews a little bit closer to iOS than stock Android in some of its design choices, including defaulting to a grid of home screen icons (though the classic Android app drawer is still an option).

82% Honor Play – Review
Source: Cool Smartphone Archive.org version
I have been very pleased with the Honor Play it is a great value device and will punch well above its weight particularly when gaming is the task at hand. My only real major complaint was that the screen is not good in direct sunlight and is un-usable when wearing glass with polarisation. This is not really a massive problem and is the case for most phones at this and in some case much higher price points.

Huawei Honor Play Review: Premium-looking mid-range for all-day gaming
Source: Androidcommunity.com Archive.org version
The Honor Play appears well-designed. It offers a nice look and feel and is enough for mobile gaming. It may not beat the Razer Phone 2 or the ASUS ROG Phone but the Huawei Mate 20’s display offers cool and brighter images.

This phone comes with either 4 or 6GB RAM and 64GB internal storage. You can potentially (if you’re lucky) find it in several different colors. If you’re able to find one, you could find one in Midnight Black, Navy Blue, Violet, Player Edition Red, or Player Edition Black. The version we’ve reviewed here is Player Edition Black.

Whatever your preferences, the thing is: at below $400, the Honor Play has nearly no competition as a phone that can drive demanding games on a good 6.3” display. That is a great product positioning.

With word of its aggressively low price tag and high performance, the Honor Play has the ability to appeal not only to gamers but anyone looking to pick up a handset that doles out a flagship-class experience across so many areas, without breaking the bank.

At £279, it's very easy to recommend the Honor Play. The display is no match for the likes of the Razer Phone or Asus ROG, but the Play offers top notch performance at a far lower price than either of those, which might make it the ideal phone for gamers on a budget.

Honor Play Review: A Quality Gaming PHP 15k+ Phone
Source: Manila Shaker Archive.org version
In conclusion, the smartphone was able to prove that it has other good features other than gaming. Moreover, the fact that it sports the Kirin 970 chipset yet costs PHP 15,990, makes the smartphone a great choice for mobile gamers. The Honor Play is truly a quality gaming phone at a very affordable price.

Honor Play is an excellent smartphone that comes very close to matching a premium, flagship smartphone. Of course, it’s not perfect and has the not-so-fluid software. I still feel that Honor has done a great job in cramming a lot of features to make the Honor Play a desirable package.

Honor Play review: The affordable gaming smartphone for everyone
Source: Talk Android Archive.org version
The Honor Play is a gaming handset with an understated design that the average user will appreciate for its performance, battery life, and a quality display. And gamers? Well, its target audience will enjoy the battery life, the display’s vibrancy, and the gimmicky 4D Smart Shock, and 3D Surround Sound features will certainly add something to the gameplaying experience. If Huawei can get more game developers on board with its GPU Turbo technology, phones such as the Honor Play can only benefit.

Honor Play review: Flagship specs on a budget (video added!)

Of course, there’s more to a smartphone than just its spec sheet. This phone performs as good as any flagship phone out there and looks quite brilliant as well. However, the camera could’ve definitely been better.

Summing it all up, the Honor Play is a controversial device: on the surface and on paper, it’s a beast with the company’s fastest chip and a killer price, but in reality things like the disappointing screen quality, the outdated interface looks, as well as the quiet loudspeaker and the bad video recording quality really ruin what could have been a great device.

Honor Play Review: Flagship Power for a Steal?
Source: Unbox Archive.org version
Honestly, we’d rather change that phrase to “why should you not buy it?” and we can’t think of a solid reason. While some would nitpick by saying that it has ordinary cameras and a rather boring aluminum unibody, Honor is aware that the main market of the Honor Play is those that are looking for pure performance without spending a fortune.

Honor Play Review
Source: Yugatech Archive.org version
The Honor Play is that kind of smartphone that punches like a heavyweight but fights in the middleweight class. It’s got a nice display, flagship-grade Kirin 970 with GPU Turbo, large RAM and storage, decent cameras, and above average battery capacity. There are some issues like its thermals but we believe it’s something that can be fixed with a software update.

Honor Play Review: Will it impress the gamers?
Source: The Mobile Indian Archive.org version
Honor Play does come loaded with a robust design and display looks impressive as well. The performance and AI in the camera have shown improvement though it sometimes oversaturates some pictures. Overall, considering this price point, the Honor Play surely seems to be an exciting smartphone to consider but it needs to be optimised for the high graphics intensive games, not just the PUBG.

Before I conclude, here is some key information: The Honor Play's big feature, which is GPU Turbo, isn't exclusive to it. Honor will roll it out to existing phones like the Honor 10, Honor View 10, Honor 9 Lite and Honor 7X via a software update. And do understand that the Honor Play is essentially a toned down Honor View 10.

The Honor Play brings the company’s flagship hardware to an even lower price point, making it the most powerful device under Rs 25,000. Add to it the GPU Turbo feature which reduces battery drain and you get a very lucrative device for gamers and those who like consuming a lot of visual content on their phones. While there’s a lot that impresses, the camera, leaves one wanting more.

Model: The Honor Play is a smartphone designed for the young and young heart. It has GPU Turbo that brings a dramatically fast and smooth gaming phone experience, which accelerates every touch, every interaction, and even every game. And with the AI NPU (neuron process unit) of Kirin 970, the intelligent gaming and photography give a professional experience. The Honor Play has a full-metal unibody, which is heavily influenced by the design language of the Honor 10. This phone feels even easier to hold in hand though, as unlike the 10 it doesn’t have a glass back, although it is a touch heavier than the Honor 10 at 176 g. This isn’t a particularly large phone considering it has a 6.3-inch screen in its center. That’s because it has a 19.5:9 aspect ratio display with thin bezels around the edges, and that means there’s a notch at the top of the phone to house the front camera and more. Along the bottom edge, there's a USB-C port in the middle, with a 3.5 mm headphone jack and a single speaker to the right. That’s the only speaker on this device, so it won’t sound great if users cover it up. The fingerprint scanner is on the back of this phone, and while it may not look particularly attractive we found the position made it easy to reach and tap. The display itself is just a Full HD+ panel, but the viewing experience is quite impressive. Colors are good and the screen is clear, with a resolution of 409 pixels per inch. This isn't going to be as good a display as those on the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 or S9 family, but it looks great considering the price point.

Honor often includes one RGB (color) sensor with another black and white one, with the phone taking an image with both and combining them for a far clearer image. Instead of that, here Honor has included a 16 MP sensor with a f/2.2 aperture, paired with a 2 MP depth sensor. That second sensor is just to allow a user to take bokeh shots as well as enabling a few other smarts on the device's shooter. This isn't likely to give photography that's as good as the Honor 10, but it performed well in good lighting. The Honor Play is powered by 2.36 GHz octa-core (4x 2.36 GHz + 4x 1.8 GHz) processor and it comes with 4 GB of RAM. The phone packs 64 GB of internal storage that can be expanded up to 256 GB via a microSD card. The strong Kirin 970 Chipset introduces an independent AI NPU that makes lots of AI smart applications running faster. It's a powerful chipset that almost rivals Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 845, which is running in a selection of top-end phones, and it ensures a smooth experience when opening up multiple apps on the phone and speedily completing tasks. As a conclusion, Honor is marketing this as a phone for gamers, but the Honor Play is a compelling handset whether users are looking for a gaming phone, or just a phone with a high-end feel, but without a high-end price tag.
