Announcement. Honor Play 40 Plus 5G is an inexpensive smartphone with a capacious battery

Honor has announced its new smartphone Honor Play 40 Plus (aka 荣耀畅玩40 Plus, aka Honor Changwan 40 Plus) in China. Inexpensive smartphone with a capacious battery and support for 5G networks.

The newcomer is very similar to last year's Honor Play 30 Plus, only the battery is 20% smaller and the main camera is weaker (only 13 MP).


Honor Play 30 Plus

About the characteristics.

The chipset is the year before last, the super-popular MediaTek Dimensity 700. In AnTuTu, we are waiting for 300-350 thousand points. This chipset still quite pulls at a decent average level.

RAM 6 or 8 GB. Permanent memory - 128 or 256 GB. About support for memory cards on the official website do not write. Apparently, she's not 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 excellent, 6000 mAh. Charging is fast, though not outrageously, like modern flagships. But still, 22.5 W is very, very good.

The set of cameras is quite trivial. 50 + 2 MP - main camera and 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. ¥1199 (₽10100, $165), ¥1399 (₽11800, $192) and ¥1599 (₽13500, $220) for the 6+128, 8+128 and 8+256 GB versions respectively.
