Honor Play discussion thread

Awesome performance at affordable price.

Why overload phone with emui? Now not allowing customers to use any rom on phone as well.

So, what’s your favourite gaming feature of the Honor Play? What features you you like to be added in future iterations? Let your thoughts be known below.

Processor is great for that price. But then how can you price Honor 10 at 33k?

From what I remember it was performance efficiency or something. They cleverly used the words, so normal people will think performance upgrade but if you read carefully you will know that they never claimed it.

It's kind of shady but at least not a false claim like Lenovo with that Z5.

Z5 claim was pure BS.
Honor might've thought if nVidia can do it for pascal GPUs, we can do it for EMUI "update" .

That's the major problem with honor and its parent company huwaie these people don't understand EMUI makes their phones ugly and slow
I like both huwaie and honor phones only turn off is their custom EMUI

MI A2 is giving 2 years OS update +1 more year security updates... What about the Honor play ?

 

[jithalel]

I will go for MI A2 and not even Poco F1 or honor play because I want good android.

 

[raunakchawla]

I am looking to buy a new phone. Will Honor play be a better option than Poco F1?

I think Honor should just listen to customers like Xiaomi did (e.g. A1 and A2 for software and F1 for hardware).

 

[SaiyanGoku]

Honor Play had joined Gamescom 2018, I find a video and post here, that may help you guys get a better look for this phone.

What if I told you Honor Play used to be a good option (Poco F1 is here)?

It might get some updates, maybe. Depends on time needed to mutilate Android for EMUI (if Honor wants to support it after 1 year that is).

 

[PrashantK007]

Poco F1 would be my next phone maybe.

Both have good specs but the F1 is vfm with that 845.

Someone said 6 months on Honor forum..That seems pretty bad move...

TBH from personal experience there is only 1 oem which will stop the updates after 8-10 months and that is motorola. Honor etc. will have to provide them for atleast a year or two.

I have bad experience like hanging,heating,messages failed,wifi,RAM management issues with Redmi 2 and note 3 once updates stopped..
Android one gives 2 years of updates. So we can expect 1 year from Honor,hopefully.

seriously, 6.3 inch seems too big for me. My friend had this realme 1 and he has trouble placing in pockets especially while riding bike. Now i heard Honor 8x with 7 inch.. WTH

That is why a phone with good custom rom support should be preferred.

 

[SaiyanGoku]

I ordered Honor Play. Budget was 20-22K. I don't care about notch ( I am ok with it) and I dont care about the camera. Did I make wrong decision??????

Not unless you wanted a phone with SD 845, custom rom support, 4k mAh battery and QC 3.0 support.

 

[SaiyanGoku]

U talking about Poco .... .... just having 845 does not make it fastest automatically, we have to wait.

Which other 21k phone has SD845?

 

[SaiyanGoku]

Dont care about custom rom .. I think I should be ok.

That's why I mentioned "Not unless" at the start.
