Honor Play 5 Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos
Honor Play 5 Overview
Honor Play 5 - attack of the middle price segment
The popularity of Honor is gradually declining both in its native China and in Europe and the CIS. This is due to the litigation of the former owner of the corporation in the person of Huawei, as well as the long absence of Google services in the company's products. Now the situation has changed, and the manufacturer is trying to keep the audience in his hands. That is why we see many decent and competitive models like the hero of today's review.
The low price of the novelty has somewhat affected its appearance. The form factor of the selfie camera says hello to last year, the bottom frame of the screen is far from narrow, and the back panel, although it pleases with the beauty of the colors, is made of rapidly scratching glossy plastic. However, the exterior also has advantages. The fingerprint sensor on the side is a convenient and stylish thing, the display is close to the title of frameless on the side edges. The 6.53-inchAMOLED panel itself deserves more compliments. Color reproduction is natural, bright and contrasting picture is excellent both on a sunny day and in pitch darkness, the resolution of 2340x1080 pixels has a positive effect on the detail of the reproduced content. There is not the best, but still effective oleophobic coating. But at the increased update frequency, the developer saved.
The choice of technical characteristics is easy to explain. The Mediatek Dimensity 800Uprocessor is an inexpensive but extremely powerful and energy efficient solution with support for the newfangled 5G frequencies. Want the smoothness of Android 11? You are welcome. Do you want to try out the most beautiful games with not the most modest graphics settings? The chipset is capable of that. Even though the built-in battery has a capacity of only 3800mAh , even such a battery provides up to 8-9 hours of active screen time. Fast charging at 66W will allow you to stay at the outlet for just 30 minutes. The volume of internal storage is not limited to 64GB / 128GB , there is a slot for MicroSD cards.
64-, 8- and 2-megapixel cameras offer fairly standard photographic capabilities for the value category. During the day, it is very easy to get detailed and clear pictures, while evening shots will be spoiled by noise and smears of small objects. The current version of the gadget is aimed at Chinese residents, so there are no NFC contactless payments, they are expected in the global release of the device. There is no stereo sound, so it is more problematic to determine the location of opponents in PUBG and Call Of Duty. As a result, we have before us an up-to-date and balanced Android smartphone, the release of which outside the Celestial Empire may suit the taste of hundreds of thousands of buyers.
