Even I think Honor Play is a great device at 20k. Its camera might not be an upgrade from those 15k phones but at least the performance is good, unlike the Honor 9i & phones from other manufacturers at 20k. There was a lack of good phone around 20k mark. The last good phone that I remember at this price point was Lenovo Vibe X3, which was launched 3 years ago. Other times I suggested people to save money & go for cheaper devices or increase the budget for phones like OP3/3T.
With the launch of Mi A2 imminent, it was a good move from Honor. Honor would easily beat Mi A2 in performance (esp gaming) & practicality (better battery life & 3.5mm jack).

I think they launched Honor Play to compete against Mi A2 (except for updates and UI).

1. Remove the notch
2. Replace the 6.3" IPS screen with a 6" amoled one (18:9)
3. Get stock android
4. Replace Kirin 970 with Snapdragon 845
5. Get OIS+EIS + gcam support from day 0 (google can help in camera department)
6. 5000 mAh battery (asus/xiaomi can help here)

Why bother asking for community feedback if Honor management would just do whatever they want in the end?

Wasn't Honor nova 3/3i launched earlier than Honor Play? I'm not sure if they went on sale though.

Honor Play is a good device but I don't know what's the use of having Honor Play & nova 3i at a similar price & making them compete with each other.

3/3i is launching under Huawei, not Honor in India.

MiA2 is flop device I don't understand why did they remove headphone AMP and 3.5 jack and instead of huge camera bump they could have made phone thicker it would also enable them to fit larger 4000 mah battery

A1 was a hit and Xiaomi think they could get more sales (and profit) just because people want stock android.

They kept the price low. Honor play has same SoC as P20 Pro (20k vs 60k :lol: ). Honor/Huawei was never known for regular updates anyway. Stopping BL unlock is final nail on that coffin.

Like most other current gen smartphones in the market, the Honor Play features a dual-rear camera setup. It sports a 16MP + 2MP setup with AI features.

I didn't read the xda one yet, but the GSMArena one is good. Lesser frame drops & bit more battery life are good returns. Honor never explicitly mentioned improved performance, they twisted the words.

You are getting Kirin 970 for 20k, that's cheap considering it is equivalent to S835 (S835 is better than S660 of Mi A2 by a significant amount). Don't ask for more.

Hopefully, someone might release a Switch like controller for android, an accessory.
