A poster that is now being circulated on the Chinese microblogging platform Weibo reveals that Honor will announce the Honor Play 8T smartphone tomorrow (Oct. 18) in China. As can be seen, the poster has confirmed the key specifications and design of the device.

Honor Play 8T key specifications

The Honor Play 8T launch date poster confirms that it has a punch-hole display that offers up to 850 nits of brightness, a 50-megapixel dual-camera system, and a 6,000mAh battery. The device is confirmed to ship with 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage.

To recall, the Honor Play 7T and Honor Play 40 Plus phones, which were launched last year, offered nearly identical specifications but featured different rear designs. Hence, it appears that the Play 8T may borrow its specifications from the Honor Play 50 Plus that was announced earlier this month in China.

There is a possibility that the Play 8T may feature a 6.8-inch IPS LCD 90Hz FHD+ screen, a side-facing fingerprint sensor, a Dimensity 6020 chipset, an 8-megapixel front camera, a 50-megapixel + 2-megapixel dual-camera setup, and a 6,000mAh battery with 35W fast charging.

In related news, an Honor phone with model number LLY-AN00 was spotted in the database of China’s TENAA certification platform. As per the TENAA certification, the device may arrive with a 6.7-inch IPS LCD FHD+ 90Hz display, a 2.4GHz octa-core processor, up to 16 GB of RAM, up to 1 TB of storage, and a 4,500mAh battery with 35W fast charging. It may feature an 8-megapixel front camera, a 108-megapixel + 2-megapixel dual-camera system, and a side-facing fingerprint scanner. At present, there is no information about the final marketing name of the Honor LLY-AN00.
