Honor is expected to stick to its product lineup back from when it was a subsidiary of Huawei. That makes sense considering these phones already have a huge following. Among the popular ones is the Honor Play series, and a company executive has revealed that a new model will arrive next month.
The info was revealed by Wei Xiaolong, the product manager for the Honor Play series, in a Weibo conversation. According to him, the next-gen Honor Play smartphone is coming as soon as next month. He also added that the new phone will have support for fast charging.
Last year, Honor announced the Honor Play4 and Honor Play4 Pro. The standard model launched as a budget 5G mid-range phone with a Dimensity 800 processor, a 64MP quad-camera setup, and a 4300mAh battery with support for 22.5W fast charging.
The Honor Play4 Pro, on the other hand, launched as a flagship phone with a Kirin 990 5G processor under the hood. It has dual front-facing cameras, a 40MP dual rear camera, and a 4200mAh battery that has support for 40W fast charging. The phone also has an IR temperature sensor near the rear cameras that can be used to measure the temperature of people and objects.
It is important to state that Honor also released the Honor Play4T and the Honor Play4T Pro, both of which are 4G smartphones.
We are not sure yet if there will be two Honor Play models planned for release this year or just one. However, what we are most excited about is the chipset that will power the device(s). Will the new Honor Play be the first Honor phone with a Snapdragon processor this year? Time will tell.
