Honor has quietly launched the all-new Honor Play 20 Pro smartphone in the Chinese market. It is an addition to the Play 20 series which already has the vanilla Honor Play 20 smartphone. Some of the highlights of the smartphone are an OLED display, quad cameras, and an Helio G80 chipset.

The Honor Play 20 Pro is priced at CNY 1,699(~$263) for the sole 8GB RAM and 128GB storage variant. It is currently available only in China and we do not expect it to reach global markets anytime soon. But, the phone may launch in a few Asian regions outside China.

Honor Play 20 Pro Specifications 

The Honor Play 20 Pro comes with a 6.53-inch OLED display with a Full-HD+ resolution. It is a dew-drop notch with support for the DCI-P3 color gamut. The screen doubles up as an in-display fingerprint scanner for added security. Upfront, it has a 16MP selfie camera and has a quad-camera system at the rear.

The rear setup starts with a 64MP main sensor, an 8MP ultra-wide-angle camera, a 2MP macro sensor, and lastly a 2MP depth unit. The rear camera setup is placed in a squarish model with an LED flash sandwiched between the four lenses.

Under the hood, it fuels the MediaTek Helio G80 SoC and has 8GB of RAM. The smartphone has 128GB onboard storage but we are unsure if it has a microSD card for storage expansion. It packs a 3,800mAh battery with support for 22.5W fast charging. Honor claims that it can juice up the entire device in just 65 minutes.

The post Honor Play 20 Pro quietly launched with an OLED display and Helio G80 SoC appeared first on Gizmochina.

Yesterday, we reported that a new mid-range phone from Honor is coming soon. Today, alleged specifications of the device, which has been reported will launch as the Honor Play 20 Pro, have leaked.

The source of the leak is a Weibo user @旺仔百事通 who posted the specs on the social media platform earlier today. The post also includes an image of an Honor phone, the Honor Play5 5G. However, we don’t know if this is a hint that the Honor Play 20 Pro will have a similar design.

According to the post, the Honor Play 20 Pro will have a 6.53-inch OLED display with a waterdrop notch and a P3 wide color gamut. Under the hood will be MediaTek’s Helio G80 processor. We already know from yesterday’s report that the phone will come in a configuration with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage.

For the cameras, there will be four sensors on the back – a 64MP main sensor, an 8MP sensor which is likely an ultrawide camera, and two 2MP sensors. It will also have a 16MP front-facing camera. The post also mentions a 3800mAh battery capacity, support for 22.5W fast charging support, and a graphene-based cooling method.

If these specs sound familiar, that is because they are almost identical to those of the Honor Play5 5G, save for the processor which is the Dimensity 800U chipset, and its support for 66W fast charging. However, since these are alleged specs, we advise that they be taken with a pinch of salt.

Once Honor announces a launch date for the phone, we expect it will reveal some of its details alongside.

The post Alleged Honor Play 20 Pro specs says it has an OLED display appeared first on Gizmochina.

Earlier this year, Honor launched the Honor Play 20, an entry-level smartphone with a Unisoc T610 processor. Now, it is ready to follow it up with a pro model. Listings of the Honor Play 20 Pro have been posted online and they reveal some key details of the upcoming phone.

The Honor Play 20 Pro has appeared on an unnamed website. The listing shows that the phone will have 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, though we believe there will be other configurations when it launches. The phone will be available in three colors – Titanium Silver, Magic Night Black, and Icelandic Fantasyland.

The source (@Jiwai Digital VVV) that found the listings said the phone will be powered by a Unisoc processor but another Weibo user, ”@Wang Tsai Know-how”, says that is not the case. However, he says the Honor Play 20 Pro will be a 4G phone just like the Honor Play 20. He also said that the phone will be priced between ¥999 (~$155) – ¥1199 (~$186). This price is most likely for the base model considering the Honor Play 20 launched with a starting price tag of ¥899 (~$139) and goes up to ¥1399 (~$217).

The Honor Play 20 will have a 6.52-inch display with an HD+ resolution and a waterdrop notch. The Unisoc Tiger T610 under its hood is paired with up to 8GB of RAM. All RAM variants have the same 128GB of eMMC storage but you can add more space via the MicroSD card slot.

The Play 20 packs a 13MP + 2MP dual-camera setup on the back of the phone while a 5MP sensor is in front for selfies. Other features include a 5000mAh battery capacity with support for 10W charging. It runs Android 10 with Magic UI 4.0 on top.
