The screen’s a gamer’s delight
The Honor Play is great for gaming. Well, the clue’s in the title, really. But a great gaming phone simply wouldn’t be complete without a great big screen. And the Honor Play certainly has one of those – there’s a whole 6.3-inches to play with, the largest on any Honor phone. Plus it’s Full HD+ so you can really immerse yourself in what’s happening on screen.
It has a bigger body-to-screen ratio for a better view of the action, and if you’re worried that the notch will distract you, simply hide it. Plus, with up to 16 million colours, that’ll do all your games justice.
You have the power
The Honor Play is seriously fast (that’ll be the Kirin 970 octa-core processor doing its thing, processor fans). And graphics are impressive too, thanks to something called GPU Turbo, which will make sure everything will look good and run smoothly, not slow and jerky – no-one wants that.
Storage and then some
There’s plenty of space to store all the things that matter to you – your games, movies, photos and more. There’s 64GB built-in, but if that’s not enough you can boost it up to a massive 256GB with a microSD memory card.
Don’t just play - feel
Honor’s 4D gameplay tool means that the phone will vibrate as you play, giving the feel of playing at home on your console rather than on your phone. Again, this’ll make for a more immersive experience. Together with 3D sound technology – which will add extra sound effects – this will all come together for the ultimate gaming experience.
Clever camera
But this phone isn’t just about gaming. The cameras are pretty nifty too, and the 16MP & 2MP rear dual-camera is a winner. There’s built-in AI on board which knows what you’re taking a picture of – and where – and automatically chooses the settings that’ll give you the best shot.
The front camera is 16MP of awesomeness, and your selfies will be spot on. There’s a portrait mode, with lighting effects that’ll make you look even better (if that’s possible).
Safe as houses
Finally, there are some great security features on the Honor Play. The camera supports face unlocking, so the only person that’ll be able to get into your phone is, well, you.
So there you go. That’s your introduction to the Honor Play, which we reckon is a bit of a revelation. The screen is a knockout, pictures look great, it’s fast, powerful and secure.
And it’s available right now from iD Mobile.
