Announcement. Honor Play 30 Plus - ultra-cheap 5G plus higher refresh rate

In China, announced a smartphone called HonorPlay 30 Plus. More precisely, in the original it is called 荣耀 畅 玩 30 Plus. But for us, non-Chinese, writing down names in hieroglyphs is inconvenient. I have to translate. It's good that not in Russian. Otherwise, it would be just another smartphone "I play Honor."

The Honor Play 30 Plus is made up of compromises. And, you know, it turned out curious. Well, if you don't need cameras in your smartphone at all.

So.The chipset is the well-known super popular MediaTek Dimensity 700. We expect 300-350 thousand points in AnTuTu. Not flagship numbers, of course, but this chipset still pulls at a good average level.

RAM - for every taste. 4, 6 or 8 GB.Permanent memory is always exactly 128 GB. They don't seem to write about support for memory cards on the official website. But with a high probability, it should still be here.

The screen is rather big, 6.74 ″. The refresh rate can be increased to 90 Hz. But the resolution is quite low, only 720 × 1600 (260 ppi).

The battery is good, 5000 mAh. Charging is fast, although not to the point of disgrace, like in modern flagships. But still, 22.5 W is very, very good.

The camera block inspires respect for its appearance. But, in fact, there is only the simplest dual 13 + 2 MP module - the main camera and the depth sensor. The front camera is also one of the simplest - 5 MP.

In what ranges of LTE and 5G our Honor is able to work, it is not reported. There is no NFC module. Apparently, there is no gyroscope either. But there is Type-C and dual-band Wi-Fi.

The prices are humane. ¥ 1099 (₽12800, $ 173), ¥ 1299 (₽15100, $ 204) and ¥ 1499 (₽17400, $ 236) for versions 4 + 128, 6 + 128 and 8 + 128 GB, respectively.
