Huawei’s spin-off Honor may be under new ownership but that has not stopped the company from maintaining its naming system. The brand has now launched two new smartphones under the Honor Play series. The models are the Honor Play 6T and Play 6T Pro.
The most spectacular feature of the Honor Play 6T series is no doubt the smart storage expansion technology. This feature allows for RAM expansion by up to 2GB bringing up to 10GB of available RAM. Also, the entire Play 6T series is equipped with exclusive self-developed cache compression technology, which enables the expanded 2GB to achieve 3 times expansion, making 2GB equivalent to achieving a 6GB expansion effect. This effectively improves the cold start speed of apps and the hardware background keep-alive rate.
Here is a look at the full specifications, design, and prices of the two premium smartphones
Honor Play 6T Pro – Specs & Features
The Honor Play6T Pro is obviously the high-end model among the two and it shows its dominance both in the design aspect and the hardware features. The phone packs a 6.7-inch display with support for a 90Hz refresh rate and a 93.6% screen-to-body ratio. The device features a thin and lightweight build as it weighs just 175g and has a thickness of 7.45mm. The device comes with straight edges but well-chamfered corners. 
The Play6T Pro is powered by a 6nm MediaTek Dimensity 810 chipset and supports 5G dual-SIM/dual standby. The processor pairs with 8GB of RAM and there are 128GB and 256GB storage options available.
Honor Play 6T Pro packs a 4000mAh battery that supports 40W super-fast charging. The battery can be charged up to 28% in 10 minutes and 67% in 30 minutes. Just 10 minutes of charging can deliver up to 4 hours of online play.
For photography, the Play 6T Pro is equipped with a 48MP AI main camera which uses a 1/2-inch outsole and has a single pixel size of 0.8um. The four-in-one pixel is equivalent to 1.6um. Thus, it delivers images with vivid clarity and good background detail under low light conditions.

In other aspects, the vanilla Play 6T packs a large 5000mAh battery that supports 22.5W super fast charging. This explains why it weighs more than the Play6T Pro.
