The first-generation Honor Play smartphone was an important device for the company. It was the first gaming flagship from Honor and came with technologies such as GPU Turbo and 4D gaming at a very attractive price tag. While we haven’t heard much about its successor, it looks like Honor could skip a generation to call it the Honor Play 3.
Recently, an alleged box of the Honor Play 3 was spotted in China and shared on Weibo. Seeing this box, it is being speculated that the company has decided to name it the Play 3. Unfortunately, we aren’t really sure of its authenticity. The alignment of the words Play 3 seems a bit off. However, even if this leak isn’t real, there’s a good possibility that we might see Play’s successor at the September 4 Honor 20S event.
Honor’s Zhao Ming has already confirmed that we’ll meet one more device alongside the Honor 20S at the event. The Honor Play was announced back in July 2018, which means a successor to the device is already past due.

As for the Honor 20S, it is said to feature Kirin 810 chipset with 3750mAh battery, 6GB /8GB RAM and a 6.26-inch display. While the phone should offer tremendous value for its price, it remains to be seen how the trade ban will affect the new Honor devices outside of China. Huawei is already said to delay the international release of the Mate 30 Pro since it doesn’t have a license from Google to install its apps.
But it’s worth adding that while Google apps won’t come pre-installed on Mate 30 series models, users can always download and install these apps once they get the phone.
