Honor Play 5T Life


Honor has just unveiled the Play 5T Life without any fanfare. The smartphone (also translated as Youth/Vitality edition) has been listed on the Chinese store of the company without even a press release. Тhe Honor Play 5T Life is powered by a Mediatek Helio P35 chipset, coupled with 6GB RAM. There is 128GB storage, with room for microSD (up to 512GB) in the hybrid slot.

At the front we have a 6.6” LCD with HD+ resolution and a waterdrop notch for the 8MP selfie camera. The fingerprint scanner made its way on the side, doubling as a power key. There are four cameras on the back - 13MP main 5MP ultrawide, 2MP macro and 2MP depth sensors. There is also a single LED, with the entire setup lined up neatly on a rectangular island. The battery has 5,000mAh capacity and supports 22.5W fast-charging.

Honor Play 5T Life runs Magic UI 4.0, based on Android 10. Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 5.1, and even a 3.5 mm audio jack on the bottom, right next to the USB-C port and the speaker. The price of the phone is CNY 1,299, which is about US$ 200 or € 165. Honor Play 5T Life is available in Blue or Black, and is currently up for pre-order/booking; the first flash sale is scheduled for next week - April 27.
