The Honor Play 20 is the latest silently launched phone from the now independent smartphone brand. It comes with a modest chipset, big battery and two cameras on the back. The Play 20 is powered by a Unisoc T610 chipset. It is a platform, built on the 12nm process technology by TSMC, and brings an octa-core CPU, with two Cortex-A75 units and six more Cortex-A55, all clocked at 1.8GHz.
The chip has 4GB, 6GB, or 8GB RAM and 128GB
storage, and Honor provided a micro SD slot for up to 512GB more. On the front
is a 6.51” LCD with HD+ resolution and waterdrop notch for the 5MP selfie
camera. Around the back sits a 13MP main camera and a 2MP depth sensor, sitting
next to an LED flash.
Interestingly enough, the phone does not
have a fingerprint scanner. What it does have is a 5,000mAh battery that can be
charged at up to 10W rates through the USB-C port. Honor Play 20 also comes
with a 3.5mm audio jack and runs Magic UI 4.0, based on Android 10.
The Honor Play 20 is already up for sale
in China in four colors - Black, White, Blue, and a Silver-Pink gradient. Price
starts from CNY 899 (US$ 138) and goes as high as CNY 1,399 (US$ 215), depending on the
memory combination.
