Huawei Honor Play official launch in India

As you may know, Huawei Honor Play is one of the anticipated gaming smartphones to launch this year with the powerful processor. In addition, the Honor Play is expected to be the strong rival with three gaming smartphones, including Xiaomi BlackShark, Nubia Red Magic, and ASUS ROG. Last month, the phone made its debut in China. And now, the company is about to bring the device to India as well.

In addition, the handset will sell exclusively on Amazon.in website; while the official announcement will be held on August 6. About the design, the Honor Play has the all-glass design with an aluminium frame which is something we have seen already in previous devices. For examples the Honor 10 and Huawei P20 Pro. The phone follows the notch trend but, unlike the Xiaomi Mi 8, it has a narrower notch which can be hidden by using the software.

Next, let’s take a closer look at the Huawei Honor Play official specs. In details, the Honor Play includes a 6.3-inch IPS LCD (1080 x 2340 pixels) and a tall 19:5:9 ratio. Moreover, this phone gets power from the Hisilicon Kirin 970 processor, paired with 4GB/ 6GB RAM with 64GB ROM (expandable up to 256GB). Meanwhile, the Honor Play camera system equips a dual 16MP (f/2.2) + 2MP (f/2.4) rear sensor and a single 16MP selfie lens (f/2.0). In addition, it rocks a non-removable Li-Po 3750mAh juice box and runs on Android 8.1 Oreo system.
