A new Honor smartphone, carrying the model number WDY-AN00, has recently appeared on the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) official website. While certificate photos have not been disclosed, some tech bloggers speculate that this could be the Honor Play 40. According to the specifications provided by MIIT, the model features an octa-core processor with a 2.2GHz clock speed and does not support memory card expansion. It comes with a 5100mAh battery and supports 10W charging. The device is manufactured by Longqi and Guanghong Technology.
Additionally, the phone is expected to
sport a 6.56-inch LCD display with a resolution of 1612×720 pixels, a 13MP +
2MP dual rear camera setup, and a 5MP front-facing camera. A side-mounted
fingerprint scanner is included for unlocking the device. The phone measures
8.35mm in thickness, weighs approximately 188g, and offers storage options of
4/6/8/12GB RAM and 64/128/256GB internal storage.
The device comes with an HW-050200C02 charger,
which has not been used for phones in quite some time and has been removed from
both Honor and Huawei stores. Most Honor smartphones support fast charging
above 10W, and devices with this type of charging have been scarce since the
Honor 9X series. The most recent Honor phone supporting 10W charging is the
Honor Play 30 (VNE-AN00), featuring a Qualcomm Snapdragon 480 Plus chipset, a
6.5-inch 1600×720 display, and a 5000mAh battery.
