Honor Play discussion thread

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

Android One to go.. MI A2 and Nokia 6.1 plus disappointed in many aspect considering honor play and poco f1 in around 20k..

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

And if anybody hates miui, they can flash custom roms which isn't the case with Honor Play.
Honor should've read my recommendation for it.

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

Only 6 months of support for updates? Xiaomi gives MIUI updates (not android updates) to 3-4 year old phones.

Mi A1's popularity got to Xiaomi's head and they got greedier.
They should've replaced RN5 with RN5 Pro and RN5 Pro with Mi A2 having 5k mAh battery and headphone jack.

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.

Honor Play has become one of the hottest phone on the market because it's just Honor 10 but cheaper.

Remove EMUI

Honor play featuring GPU turbo is the phone to buy in 20 thousand budget from Honor.

There is Honor View 10 as well which was the original "Cheaper (and better than) Honor 10".

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

Because Camera is not great in Honor play

 

[Minion]

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

MiA2 lacks head phone jack

 

[Minion]

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

Everything is good in poco F1 but it has a cheap plastic build

 

[Minion]

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

It will be honor 8X max not the normal 8x

 

[SaiyanGoku]

and oh about the updates I have received two EMUI updates in a week, so I dont think thats been ignored as such, for now at least.

Do EMUI updates have security patches or just fixes for bugs caused by EMUI?

 

[PranoyRoy]

Honor play aims to be bang for buck phone at 20,000 but Poco F1 seems to be way ahead.

Will Poco F1 get cistom rom support?

 

[PrashantK007]

Because Camera is not great in Honor play

Then they shouldn't try to market it that much.

 

[SaiyanGoku]

Will Poco F1 get cistom rom support?

Yes, but notch change the market.

Poco news coming that cant play full HD netflix .... and also cannot play Asphalt 9 the latest game, the game cant even be installed, some tech limitation ..... No such issue on Honor Play. just an FYI..nothing against the phone .....

That Asphalt 9 issue exists in Zenfone 5Z as well. As for HD netflix, amazon prime playback, that would require Widevine L1 DRM but F1 has L3 DRM only.
