Noted tipster Ishan Agarwal obtained the
preliminary specs and designs of an upcoming entry-level device called the
Honor Play 9A. The successor of last year’s Play 8A will offer an improved rear
camera setup and much larger 5,000 battery.
The Honor Play 9A will be built around a
6.3-inch IPS display with HD+ resolution and a waterdrop notch for the 8MP
selfie cam. The back houses a 13MP main shooter paired with a 2MP depth helper
and LED flash in a rectangular frame. There’s also a capacitive fingerprint
reader here.
The Helio P35 chipset sits at the helm
paired with 4GB RAM and 64GB or 128GB storage. The battery is expected to come
in at a generous 5,000 mAh but will only charge at 10W. The phone will run
Android 10 with Honor’s Magic UI 3.0 on top, which means it will ship without
Google services. The device is expected to measure 159.07mm×74.06mm×9.04mm and
weigh 185 grams.
The Honor Play 9A will be available in
green, blue and black colors. There’s no information on pricing and availability
currently but we’ll update you as soon as it emerges.
