Honor Play

 

The Honor Play may be a gaming-focused smartphone but the specs and price make this Kirin 970-powered handset a worthwhile option for anyone after a deal.

Affordable performance ; Rich user experience ; Strong battery life ; Attractive screen

GPU Turbo only benefits compatible games ; Smart Shock feature not available at launch ; No IP certified protection ; Metal body is slippery

Like the display, I assumed that the low-cost nature of the Honor Play meant that, with performance and battery as good as they are, the camera would be far more pedestrian. However, the moment I started snapping with the phone’s 16-megapixel...

Honor Play review

 

A brand new mid-range phone for Honor

Slim, attractive design ; Top-end power ; Big display

One storage option ; No wireless charging ; Singular speaker

There isn't much that makes the Honor Play excel as a gaming phone apart from its powerful internals, but with a huge screen and a premium look it makes for an all-round impressive device. That's especially true when you consider the price.

Honor Play review: The best affordable phone on the planet

 

The company's best phone to date and at a price that's simply incredible. This is a serious handset, one strong enough to take the eyes off OnePlus

Incredible price point makes it the sub-£300 phone to buy ; Accomplished metal unbody design ; Outstanding battery life ; Lots of power on tap (and GPU Turbo for gaming extras)

Irksome vibration sound ; Yes there's a notch ; Paint finish around cameras scratches ; Won't totally beat all flagships for load time/speed

Honor Play

 

The Honor Play is the Huawei offshoot's challenger to the Razer Phone, with top specs at a much lower price. Here's what we think of the latest take on the gaming phone.

Honor Play review

 

Gets your game on… without giving the game away

Stellar gaming performance ; Great value considering the hardware ; Notched screen is on point for 2018

Camera is fairly average for the cash ; Performance gains are pretty minor

Satisfies your gaming addiction, but loses out in other areas to focus on performance. Still a bit of a bargain, though.
