Huawei today unveiled the much-anticipated Kirin 810-powered Honor 20s in China and alongside the premium device came another amazing model – the Honor Play 3. The device is basically a budget model, looking at the 999 yuan (~$139) starting price. However, the phone has a solid build and decent specs lineup.

The Honor Play 3 packs a glamorous 6.39-inch full-screen display with a punch-hole at the top left corner which houses the selfie camera. The use of a punch-hole design ensures the bezels are trimmed to the barest minimum with the device getting up to 90% screen ratio. The rear panel uses a unique starlight rhythmic texture, such as the streamer that the meteor draws in the night sky.

The phone is powered by an Hisilicon Kirin 710F chipset paired up with 4GB/6GB of RAM. The phone comes with 64GB and 128GB storage options. There is also a 4000mAh battery on board with support for 10W fast charger. For photography, the Honor Play 3 packs a 48MP main camera teaming up with an 8MP wide-angle sensor and a 2MP depth of field sensor.

The phone runs EMUI 9.1 based on Android 9.0 Oreo and has dual SIM slots. The device prides itself as the first budget Huawei model to pack its GPU Turbo 2.0 “full scene acceleration engine”. The Play 3 is also the first model in the thousand yuan category that supports Ark compiler, EROFS super file system, Link Turbo, AI smart communication and many other self-developed flagship technologies.

In terms of price, the 4GB+64GB version is priced at 999 yuan ($139), the 4GB+128GB version is priced at 1299 yuan ($181), and the 6GB+64GB version is also priced at 1299 yuan ($181). The device comes in Aurora Blue, Flame Red, and Black and is expected to go on sale on September 10 at 10 AM.
