Finally, the long wait has come to an end. Honor officially launched the Honor Play4 series. At the latest launch event, Honor revealed that the previously released Honor Play4T series received a highly favorable rating of 97%. The Honor Play4 series is the first in the series to support 5G.
The new series includes two devices: the Play4 and the Play4 Pro.
The Honor Play4 Pro features a dual-punch-hole screen, while the Play4 uses a single-punch-hole screen. Both phones have a screen resolution of 2400 x 1080 (Full HD). At the launch event, Honor did not explain much about the display. In addition, both phones feature the same fingerprint sensor integrated into the power button.
The Play4 Pro is powered by the Kirin 990 chipset, which was previously used in the Huawei Mate30 and P40 series. The Play4 uses the Dimensity 800 chipset. Both phones support 5G connectivity and dual-SIM standby.
The Honor Play 4 has a 4,300 mAh battery and supports 22.5W fast charging, while the Pro version comes with a 4,200 mAh battery and supports 40W fast charging. Both phones use intelligent power-saving technology, resulting in an overall 30% increase in battery life.
The Honor Play4 Pro features a rear dual-camera setup with a 40MP sensor and an 8MP sensor. The 40MP camera uses the Sony IMX600y sensor, while the 8MP lens is a telephoto lens that supports 3x optical zoom. This camera also supports pixel binning technology, laser autofocus, AI handheld stabilization, and a super night mode. The front camera module features a 32MP sensor and an 8MP sensor, enabling super night mode portrait selfies.
The Play4 features a rear quad-camera setup: a 64MP main camera, an 8MP ultra-wide-angle lens, a 2MP depth sensor, and a 2MP macro lens, and supports AI handheld Super Night Scene 2.0. The front has a single 16MP camera.
It is reported that the Play4 Pro has added a temperature measurement feature that can detect temperatures from -20℃ to 100℃. This feature significantly enhances the phone’s insulation against nearby high-heat devices. In addition, the Play4 uses a VC liquid-cooling system and features a 12-layer heat dissipation structure.
The Honor Play4 series runs on Magic UI 3.1, which is built on a precise latency engine, providing an overall smooth and stable experience. The Honor Play4 comes in white, blue, and black, while the Pro version is available in blue, white, and black.
