Honor, the brand that spun off from Huawei back in 2020, just unveiled a new smartphone for its Play10 series. Following the earlier Play10, which was an entry-level phone with Android Go and a 5,000 mAh battery, this new model is called the Play10T. It brings some serious upgrades, including a massive 7,000 mAh battery and a very consumer-friendly price tag.
The Honor Play10T boasts a large 6.77-inch LCD screen. Its display resolution is a crisp 2412×1080 pixels. This is a noticeable step up from the Play9T, a 2024 model, which featured a 720p display.
The screen offers a smooth 120 Hz refresh rate, meaning visuals update 120 times per second. It gets quite bright, peaking at 700 Nits. For extra toughness, it uses aluminosilicate glass, a material often found on more expensive phones. Plus, it has an Eye Comfort mode to help reduce eye strain during long use.
Under the hood, the Play10T runs on a Qualcomm Snapdragon 6s Gen 3 chipset. This chip is built using a 6-nanometer process and can reach speeds up to 2.3 GHz. It comes paired with up to 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage.
The standout feature, however, is its colossal 7,000 mAh battery. This powerhouse supports 45W fast charging, meaning you won’t be tethered to an outlet for long. It can even charge other gadgets, making it a handy power bank on the go.
Here are some other important details about the Honor Play10T:
- It features a 50-megapixel main camera for clear photos.
