Little by little, Honor is expanding its catalog of devices across the planet. On this occasion, it is its input range which got a new member: the Honor Play 30. It is the little brother of the Honor Play 30 Plus 5G that we met at the end of last year.
This new proposal embeds the Snadpragon 480+ processor, the vitaminized version of the Qualcomm’s most humble 5G chipset. Moreover, it has a large 5000 mAh battery and up to 8 GB of RAM. Of course, it comes with a single camera on the back, something difficult to see even in the entry level today.

Few cameras, but lots of battery and 5G
The new Honor Play 30 includes a 6.5 inch LCD screen with HD + resolution (1,600 x 720 pixels) and a small drop-shaped notch where the front camera is located. This offers 5-megapixels, while the rear consists of a single 13-megapixel sensor.
Inside this phone we find Qualcomm’s Snadpragon 480+ processor, which provides it with 5G connectivity and is accompanied by up to 8 GB of RAM. It also has 128 GB of internal storage expandable with a microSD card and the Magic UI 5.0 operating system based on Android 11.
It is powered by a 5000 mAh battery which does not support fast charging, so according to Honor, it takes 157 minutes to fully charge through the USB-C port. It also lacks a fingerprint reader and NFC connectivity.
Prices and versions of the Honor Play 30
The Honor Play will be available, for the time being, in China, but its price and whether or not it will reach other countries is unknown. What we do know is that will go on sale in four colors (blue, gold, black or white) and in two configurations with 4 or 8 GB of RAM, both with 128 GB of capacity.
