Honor is launching a new 5G smartphone, the Honor Play 10C, which comes in a somewhat unusual design. Features include a fast display with a 120 Hz refresh rate, 5G connectivity and a 6000 mAh battery.
The Honor Play 10C is a new and relatively inexpensive smartphone that supports 5G and features an unusual design. The back of the smartphone is covered with a kind of wavy pattern, along with two different round islands for the camera and LED. It comes in three different colors and costs the equivalent of around $78. For this price, customers get the base model with 4 GB of RAM and 128 GB of internal storage. There is also a model with 6 or 8 GB of RAM, and the configuration with 8 GB of RAM comes with twice as much storage at 256 GB.
Regardless of chosen configuration, a MediaTek Dimensity 6300 is installed, which supports 5G connectivity and dual SIM. While the 6.61-inch LCD supports a refresh rate of 120 Hz, it only has a resolution of 720 x 1,604, making it less sharp than your average smartphone. The main camera has a resolution of 13 MP and is complemented by a 5 MP rear camera. The 6,000 mAh battery can be charged with up to 15 watts. Information on price or availability in markets outside of China is still pending.

I have been active as a journalist for over 10 years, most of it in the field of technology. I worked for Tom’s Hardware and ComputerBase, among others, and have been working for Notebookcheck since 2017. My current focus is particularly on mini PCs and single-board computers such as the Raspberry Pi – so in other words, compact systems with a lot of potential. In addition, I have a soft spot for all kinds of wearables, especially smartwatches. My main profession is as a laboratory engineer, which is why neither scientific contexts nor the interpretation of complex measurements are foreign to me.

Growing up in regional Australia, I first became acquainted with computers in my early teens after a broken leg from a football (soccer) match temporarily condemned me to a predominately indoor lifestyle. Soon afterwards I was building my own systems. Now I live in Germany, having moved here in 2014, where I study philosophy and anthropology. I am particularly fascinated by how computer technology has fundamentally and dramatically reshaped human culture, and how it continues to do so.
