Honor Play 5

Honor Play 5 is Honor’s latest smartphone in the mid-range segment. With this affordable 5G handset, Honor has attempted to deliver some extremely competitive features at a reasonably cheap and appealing price. The Honor Play 5 is equipped with a Dimensity 800U processor and 66W fast charging support. Let’s sneak into this device to know all the features before the Honor Play 5 makes its entry in India. 

Honor Play 5 Price in India 

Honor Play 5 is likely to cost Rs. 23,890 in India. Honor Play 5 is expected to be released on August 18, 2021. This is the Honor Play 5’s basic edition with 8 GB RAM and 128 GB internal storage, which is available in Titanium Silver, Midnight Black, and Icelandic Fantasy colours. The actual price will be updated once it comes to the Indian smartphone market. 

Honor Play 5 is made more beautiful by the brilliant and sparkling light shade on the rear.  A quad-camera with an LED flash sits in the heart of the little square-shaped camera module. Instead of being on the side, the fingerprint sensor sits under the screen.  

The weight and thickness of today’s phones are average. When you hold this smartphone in your hands, though, it will seem light. It weighs 179 grammes and has an extremely thin sidebar of roughly 7.5mm. You will have a secure hold as a result of this. 

Honor Play 5 has a 6.53-inch OLED display with a pixel density of 403PPI and a refresh rate of 90Hz. The smartphone’s bezel-less display has a resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels with a waterdrop notch in the centre.

The MediaTek Dimensity 800U MT6853V chipset is featured inside the Honor Play 5. With an Octa-Core Dual-Core Cortex A76 2.4GHz and Hexa Core Cortex A55 2GHz processor and 8GB RAM, the smartphone promises flawless multitasking. The graphics experience is handled by a Mali-G57 MC3 GPU.

Honor Play 5 has 128GB of internal storage. Furthermore, the smartphone is compatible with Bluetooth v5.1, Wi-Fi, USB Type-C, 4G VoLTE networks, and 5G networks. When compared to Android 11, the performance of Android 10 is often poor or you may suffer latency.

The quad-camera setup on the rear of the Honor Play 5 offers a 64 MP main camera for the best photography experience. Further, there is a 2MP depth camera followed by an 8MP ultrawide sensor and a 2MP macro camera. The main camera is sufficient for gloomy photos with clear details. 

The 16 MP selfie camera, on the other hand, is a significant improvement in this price range, although it is not the best in the industry. When it comes to video recording, the main camera can record up to 4K videos with gyro-EIS stabilisation, however, the front camera can only record in 1080p without stabilisation.

People nowadays prefer to acquire phones with large battery capacities because everyday usage has increased. Honor Play 5 comes with a Li-Po 3800 mAh battery, which is a very disappointing characteristic.  The 66 W rapid charger allows you to charge the battery to 100% in 35 minutes, which is a benefit. 

Honor Play 5 has shown to be a reliable performer with a wide range of remarkable specifications. Within, you’ll be able to enjoy gorgeous sights, record minute details, and save a range of media files and documents. Even though the smartphone only has a 3800mAh battery, the 66W Fast Charging capability is there to compensate for it, removing the need for protracted charging times.
