a very economical entry range

The brand was at the time one of the most relevant in Europe, especially among the youngest, and is once again targeting a basic and very inexpensive smartphone, the Honor Play 20.

Lots of memory for a basic mobile

This new Honor Play 20 arrives with very clear ideas: to offer a possibility to those who want to spend the least. The result is very tight specifications.

We have a 6.5 inch screen with HD + resolution, a Unisoc T610 processor and only two rear cameras.

However, there is something that is not lacking, memory. We will have three variants, all with 128 GB of storage, and with RAM of 4, 6 and no less than 8 GB, which is very rare in this price range.

The front camera is 5 Mpx and behind we have two, a main sensor of 13 Mpx and a sensor for data collection for a depth of 2 Mpx.

The battery promises us a generous autonomy with its 5000 mAh, although the fast charge is only 10 W. Of course, at least it uses the USB C, not the micro USB as we have seen on occasion. in mobiles of this category.

It comes with Android 10 on which Magic UI 4, Honor’s interface, runs.
