Sony announced a new phone, LG introduced two
devices and Honor lined up with the big players to announce a global arrival of
its cheapest Kirin 970-powered smartphone Honor Play. The device was initially
introduced in India with a price tag between US$ 290 and US$ 350, but now it will
reach all markets, including the European and North American countries.
The Honor Play is marketed as a gaming smartphone
and as such arrives with GPU Turbo, making it the 8th Honor device with the
feature that enhances performance and lowers power consumption. There is also a
partnership with PUBG and the phone will support 10 vibrating modes, depending
on the different guns you are using in the game.
The Honor Play announcement introduced to the global
scene two special color options with some design elements imitating a mainboard
- Player Edition Red and Player Edition Black, the latter with red accents
around the hardware keys, camera and fingerprint scanner. They round the tally
up to five colors, including the standard Midnight Black, Navy Blue, and Ultra
Violet (that looks stunning in our hands-on article).
The phone will cost € 329/£ 279 for the 4/64 GB
variant, with the Player Edition variants costing € 20 more. It will be
available both online and offline at all major retailers.
