Honor Play review

31 August 2018
The alluring but always elusive gaming smartphone - many have tried to build it, even Razer, but no one did it perfectly. Now, Honor is also joining the gaming race but with a new concept. Instead of greatness, the new Honor Play is pursuing affordability. And that's a very welcome turn of events.

          I updated my honor play to Android 9 emui 9. What happened to the Antutu benchmark and Geekbench scores? I was shocked. Antutu went down to around 150k from 200k, less in geekbench too. Anyone know the reason? Anyhow I don't feel any lag or slowdown... Performance and battery life are very good.

                        Hi,
                        Wanted to know whether the audio output while watching videos is good or no... Read quite a few reviews stating that the audio output while watching videos is quite low.

                          Overall for me it is best mobile for gaming and day to day performance. Camera is also good but colours pop too much which hides natural colour. Optimization is best and speed is best . Only heating sucks 😢
                          Honor please fix it with software update

                              I bought this phone recently and I'm totally dissatisfied by it's camera & EMIUI's screen dimming issue. It persist even after formatting, updating & replacing. Honor play's camera doesn't take natural shots, noise is noticeable, no details can be found. Battery backup is impressive & charges quickly.Tons of bloatware was installed specially from facebook.
