Honor, Huawei’s sub-brand for affordable smartphones and tablets, has listed up its latest budget smartphone – the Honor Play 8C on the in-house owned VMall. It will be unveiled on October 11 in Beijing and will arrive in Black, Dark Blue, Gold and Purple colour options.
The Honor Play 8C, successor to the Honor 7C, sports a notched 6.26-inch HD+ IPS LCD display with 86.6% screen-to-body ratio and 19:9 aspect ratio. It successfully passed the TÜV Rheinland Low-Blue Light certification, which ensures the screen reduces blue light content that damages the eyes.
Internally, it is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 632 octa-core processor paired with 4GB of RAM and either 32GB or 64GB built-in storage (expandable up to 25GB via micorSD). Power is supplied by a 4,000mAh battery, which offers up to 50 hours of talk time and 11 hours of intense gaming experience.
In the camera segment, there are 13MP (f/1.8) + 2MP (f/2.4) dual rear cameras with AI-powered features such as AI scene recognition and others. On the front, there is a 8MP camera with f/2.0 aperture. The Honor Play 8C boots EMUI 8.2 (based on Android 8.1 Oreo OS).
