This is a budget 5G phone. Honor Play 60A 5G has gone official silently, and it’s being sold in China first. There’s only a single memory trim for it. The battery is pretty decent. It isn’t a wildly thick device either. But the Play 60A is a bit pricey for what’s necessarily sub-entry-level hardware.
The screen you see on the front is a 6.75” TFT LCD. It’s big enough, but the resolution is just your lousy 720p HD+ standard. At least this newcomer has a 90Hz refresh rate to run all things smoothly. And yes, the chipset has more than enough power to handle this display.
A Dimensity 6300 SoC pulls the load here. That’s a 2.4GHz platform, and the integrated GPU is a MALI G57 MP2. It’s not as fast as some midrange chips, but it works on a device like Play 60A. There’s only 6GB RAM on this device, which might bottleneck the SoC’s power.
That 6GB RAM is wired to a 128GB storage module, and Android 15 OS is pre-installed on it. That means this Honor new budget mobile will have Magic OS 9.0 when you pull it out of the box. The camera looks premium, but it’s not as high-end on the inside.
There’s apparently a single 13MP main shooter on the back that’s functional. The second lens is only there for decoration. And it seems the notch is home to a 5MP selfie shooter. Yes, the display has a drop notch, not the punch hole cutout, like most phones at this price.
At least they didn’t skimp on the battery here. A 5300mAh cell is inside the Honor Play 60A, and you can plug it into a 15W wired adapter. The charging will be slow, but the phone will last a whole day with some juice left. There’s just one memory trim for the Play 60A: 6/128GB. And its price is CNY 1,599 (~PKR 63,000).
