It is reported that Honor has added a new smartphone to its Honor Play Series. The new device is named Honor Play 20. As per specifications, it is observed that this phone belongs to the entry-level smartphone category. This device doesn’t seem to be the successor of Honor’s Play4 series as it has too low specifications.
As mentioned, the Honor Play 20 comes with an IPS LCD V-shaped notched display, which is around 6.52 inches. It is also packed with HD+ (1600x720p) resolution and supports 16.7 million colors as well. The phone has the following dimensions: 163.93×75.79×8.95mm and weighs around 198g.
An entry-level chipset from Unisoc, Unisoc T610, has been used inside the phone, an octa-core chipset based on the TSMC 12nm manufacturing process. It features two Cortex-A75 Performance Cores and six Cortex-A55 Energy Saving Cores.
In terms of the camera, the phone features a dual-camera setup that consists of a 13MP primary lens (f/1.8) and a 2MP (f/2.4) depth lens. On the front side, there is a single 5MP (f/2.2) AI lens for capturing selfies. The phone also lacks a fingerprint sensor as well.
The phone is also powered by a 5000mAh Lithium-ion polymer battery, which can provide excellent battery life. In addition, the phone comes with only a 10W charger, which means that it lacks fast charging as well. The phone also features a USB Type-C port and a 3.5mm headphone jack. The phone features the latest Magic UI 4.0 based on Android 10.
The Honor Play 20 is available in three storage variants: 4+128GB for 899 yuan ($139), 6+128GB for 1099 yuan ($169), and 8+128GB for 1399 yuan ($216). There are four color options: Magic Night Black, Iceland White, Aurora Blue, and Titanium Empty Silver. Customers can pre-book the phone by depositing 50 yuan.
