Hello Everyone,
I Bought Huawei Honor Play three days ago. Here's a little Review for everyone.
**Notices**
1- I am not a professional. I am just an average consumer and all the info below is from my point of view.
2- I have 4GB/64GB COR-L29 Variant. It is not listed in the gsmarena's provided variants.
3- COR-L29 Variant does not have FM Radio.
Price: 1200 Saudi Riyals/ 320 USD/ 275 EUR
Unboxing:
Typical Box Comes with
1- Mobile Phone
2- Typical Silicon Jelly Transparent Case for the device
3- iPod Style Headsets
4- 1m Long USB Type-C Cable
5- Huawei Fast Charger Brick
6- Sim Ejecting Tool
7- Instruction Manual & User Guide
(No screen protector included in the box)
Looks/Feels/Materials
The Device itself looks a lot like iPhoneX. Front Glass (not scratch resistant) and Metal Back (pretty fragile and prone to scratches).
Weight is distributed nicely. Fits in the Palm comfortably. Touch feels better than most IPS-LCDs.
Software:
EMUI 8.2.0 based on Android 8.1. Traditional EMUI look. Customized icons. Haven't faced any Lag/Glitch in three days.
Camera:
Camera performance isn't bad as i expected it to be. Instead it turned out to be pretty good for a Budget phone. The dual Camera Setup isn't really effective. Front Facing Camera is average.
Gaming/Turbo GPU:
The basic reason why i bought this phone was to play High end Android games easily e.g. PUBG and here is my experience so far.
Upon Installing PUBG , it automatically set the Graphics setting to HD-High FPS- Realistic Graphics. But i even raised it upto HDR-Ultra FPS-Realistic Graphics. I played PUBG for about 1 hour (Three Matches) back to back and i never faced any lag. Gameplay was smooth like butter. Excellent speed, excellent accuracy and fun.
Although there was a very minor heat up issue but that was almost unnoticeable and the average battery percentage drop was 10% per PUBG match.
That's all what i pretty much do on my phone and that's all i can tell you guys.

In India it`s just arrived today ( 6 gb variant ) 20,000 INR.
But china version ( global version ) released since June and its only 4 gb and price also high ( 24,000 INR ) in my country.
I am using Nokia 7 plus and and there is no problem with phone at all. Only thing is honor play have higher chipset and big screen + thin and stylish.
So i need suggestion please.
Should i go for honor play or i stick with my nokia 7 plus. Both are awsome phones.
I will use it for 2 years atleast.
Any suggestion will be appreciated.
Thanks.

Mediatek sux, 07 Aug 2018The gpu wont match the 835 after throttling. Nice video you... moreIt still better than SD835 nonetheless. Yeah good thing they capped it at 40fps whereas as before the fps are jumping around. It just works, and for the price of $290, no other phones can competes with Honor Play.

opps, 07 Aug 2018I can t believe that what honour do in this phone guyzz all... moreWhat do you expect from a 20K INR phone? it will be great in only one thing either in performance or in looks & Camera. This phone is rather priced sensibly in the recent three years, where the once called flagship killers, have now became overpriced flagships (viz. OP-6). Yeah I agree that Kirin 970 is an year old chip set, but it has Super High performance which would really make a difference in day to day usage. If you want only camera performance then go for MI A2. Any day i would purchase a DSLR which would be more worthy enough... Cheers

Play vs 10
20k vs 33k
Same processor
Same RAM
16MP 2.2f vs 20mp 1.8f
Big screen vs smaller screen
Big battery vs smaller battery
Why honor 10 is 13k extra ?
