Honor Play - User Reviews

  • Bought this phone 4 months ago and really happy with it so far. But there is one thing that annoys me: I use 2 clocks (1 for my home city and another for my current location) but that location occassionally doesn't show on my lockscreen (it says Current location instead of the town's actual name). Anyone else with this problem?

  • Generaly I am very pleased with Huawei/Honor brand. I have a lot of those phones in last few years, and price/quality is excellent.

  • Same with me.. it have ghost background screen.. so shit cannot remove it..

  • I am so done with Huawei. They deserve everything that's happening to them.

  • this phone to be updated

  • Don't buy honor Play.It won't get any google updates anymore

  • Honor play didnt get android 10 whyyyyy? So whyyyyyy? Same cpu on p20 pro honor 10 why honor whyyy?

  • Avoid this phone. Company no longer providing updates as the hardware is apparently incompatible. What a joke.

  • Is it better till 2020? Or what is better... Honor play or redmi note 8 pro?

  • Any reasons why?

  • i havent used this phone but i use to listen music via type c port on honor 8 audio level coming from type c were much much higher than 3.5mm jack

  • Bro this phone is out class I beat this phone speed with iPhone X because it has 6gb ram with processor kirin 970 Mali G72 it's faster bro

  • We all hope that will be 10, but.....

  • 9.1.0.336 September security patch

  • is it android 10!

  • just updated

  • September update out in UK

  • am using honor play from past 1 year. the problem is display

  • am using honor play from past 1 year. the problem is display

  • Avoid this phone. The camera is downright bad (so called AI camera) and although it has a flagship like processor, heating is more prominent due to no special heat dissipating function used other than the phone's metal body.

  • No I haven't had any problems with display

  • This or iPhone 7 plus? And why? I game a lot and take lots of photos.

  • Pocophone F2 is Redmi K20.

  • After a year of having this phone, every now and then it lags for really long on things like YouTube and Chrome.

  • Originally i really liked this phone and I've had mine over a year now and i can't say the same about it. My biggest issue is with the screen, which i find to be exceptionally prone to screen burn ins, and mine will do it after a couple of minutes. I also find the screen to have a yellowish hue which i see with a blue background, yet my budget Nokia 2.2 has a far better colour accuracy despite the cost and 720p resolution. I also find the cameras to not be as good as i thought it was when I originally had it and detail is qucikly lost. That aside, the phone remains fast over the past year and I have not noticed a sluggish performance as the battery passes one year. It plays the latest games like Call of Duty Mobile and Mario Kart Tour perfectly, and yes it does play PUBG in the same way too. I do wish that Honor made a sequel to this device with a Kirin 980/ 990, 6/8GB RAM, 4000mAh battery, Amoled display, but it seems they are on an Honor Play 3 which seems to be contrary to the intentions behind the original device. Especially given the rumors of a Xiaomi Pocophone F2 being in the pipeline, you would think Honor would want to maintain competition with it.

  • no

  • Yes. Also, I see the phone heat up a lot when network strength is halfway. This I didn't experience before cos I stay in the same network area and speed to is the same.

  • Yes, carrier aggregation doesn't work

  • -did anyone noticed that after recent updates charging speed has gone slow- I didnt notice

  • I am using this phone 2nd time. I have purchased this phone on September 2018 and again 28th August 2019 and yesterday I have noticed that I left my instagram opened and I was playing PUBG for last 2 hours and then when I switched back to instagram then also it was opened and I was shocked and I love this phone for playing Pubg.... Love Honor!!!

  • did anyone noticed that after recent updates charging speed has gone slow

  • Are Honor FlyPods Pro compatible with this phone ?

  • the best phone for 2018-2019

  • Any one has a display problem with this phone? Mine seems darker at the bottom, is any one face this issue?

  • Post update version 9.1.0.331, device performance has improved in camera , ram and gaming .

  • No

  • Just had a update, 9.1.3 I think. How it is, what is the diferences ?

  • This is my second play, but I have problem with gps. It badly follow track on Here. Woh can I fix this or calibrate ?

  • Yes! I'm probably sure. 🙂

  • EMUI 10 is Android 10. It's not like MIUI.

  • just EMUI 10 or Android 10 with emui 10

  • Honor play will guaranteed get Android 10 (EMUI 10).

  • Hasn't been confirmed yet.

  • Yes, I think.

  • guys anyone connected to 4G+ with this phone? It seems the company uses different modems for some countries the modem isn't capable of carrier aggregation. Is that true?

  • Is Emui 10 is planned plz?

  • 10% per hour at 9.0

  • Same

  • My phone is on 55% at 6pm I updated to emui 9.1 about 1pm but I have played pubg for an 1hour or 2. Battery seems fine atm

  • hey guys which one of you have 4.5G or 4G+ sign and tell your country. my carrier aggregation option is on but its not connecting and my 4g speed is lower than my friends.

  • How much battery percentage u lost in just one hour? Ty

  • Literally just got emui 9.1 update today in UK cor l29 varient

  • same Ram management issue and because of its metal build it heats so fast

  • good reply

  • I bought phone few days ago-second one. In 2 hours I received update 9.0 and next hour 9.1.All working, but when I navigate with Igo, my position isnt correct.

  • Probably not if you care about updates.

  • yes worth it.

  • Why Updating to umui 9.1, my device performence is getting slow??

  • does it good to buy this phone even in 2020?

  • Instead of being lazy why not use the website you posted this on to use their specs sheets and click on the different model numbers, you'll see the differences , or is that too much hassle for you?

  • Planning to buy cor L29. whats the difference between 2 other versions. need help

  • says both are up to date !

  • Just update hicare app then check for update .

  • Just Received 9.1 update around 3.97 GB, open Hihonor app click on update button you will see update there just apply settings from there then go to settings and updates, you will see update there.

  • Cor-L29 and same problem

  • Using COR-AL10 and no 9.1 update, anyone with the same problem , or how to solve it....

  • By throttling it is meant that the phone will not be in it's maximum performance unless you specifically choose the performance mode in settings. This is done to reduce battery drain. You don't need the power unless you are gamjng, anyway. It is a very smooth phone trust me and a very high performance. Bo other phkne can beat it in terms of that in this price range. Go for it

  • Hello dear team. 1) I am in need of technical assistance. Despite my playstore notifications being enabled in every possible way, i still can't see the drop down download progress, apps don't even auto update on wifi even when auto update is on and notifications for emails that i receive on my Gmail doesn't show too. Plus this issue is being faced by many people owning honor and huawei devices globally. Mine was working fine even after the update but after i factory/hard reset my phone i am facing this issue. Kindly provide an update to fix this issue. I'm using honor play. Kindly help me out. I in my own capacity tried to reach out honor global, honor Pakistan but nothing has helped me out so far. when i contacted honor global they asked me to contact honor Pakistan. Honor Pakistan provided me with a contact number of a person for technical assistance and he also wasn't very sure about the solution. 2) Also the device since i unboxed it since day one had brightness issue. upon exiting 3rd party apps like pubg the brightness somehow decreases on it's own. Sometimes even while using the cam the brightness issue shows up even if it's not on auto. i googled it and many users has this so I'm not alone but this is really bothersome. kindly fix NOTE: All settings for notifications are enabled. Device has been reset many times for sorting out this issue. cache and data of play store has been cleared. still nothing worked I'm using honor play Regards Fahd saleh

  • I think for the price there is no such Phone to compete with Honor Play. It's better in every category

  • I know this phone has a 3.5mm jack but mine just stops working with any pair of headphones after a while. My question is: is it possible to listen to music through Usb-C regular headphones on this phone?

  • go to hi care u will find update tab, click on it and apply the update to ur phone thereafter u can download

  • I am waiting for the 9.1 update but nothing yet. (Europe)

  • my honor play ( cor L29) has no smart cover function ! please let me know if you have same problem..thanks

  • When 9.1 coming to Europe region? Anyone now?

  • Made a vid on how to update to 9.1.0.328

  • COR-L29 is now updating to EMUI 9.1.0.328 or 9.1.0.330.

  • How is it? Better than 9.0?what region r u frm cs i still didnt receive it india

  • How is it? Better than 9.0?where are you cs i am in india and brought the phone in uae but still didnt receive the update

  • just updated to emui 9.1.0.321

  • "EMUI THROTTLES THE PHONE" What do you mean? It sounds a negative to me? I am looking to buy this phone. But I can't make my mind up.

  • I installed the 191 last 3days ago and i experienced lagging while playing for the first. Ihope they'll fix it on the nxt update; already do hi care troubleshooting.

  • I bought the Honor Play a few months back. Performance - It can handle the most demanding games without breaking a sweat, thanks to its Kirin 970. Battery life - Easily lasts over a day on Heavy use Camera - Much better than what other phones in this cost category can do (under INR 15K) Build - Metal and glass, very durable and has a good feel to it UI - EMUI is a screwed up iOS. Installed Nova launcher to get closer to stock. Now, it's great.

  • P. S. I had the honor (:p) of using redmi note 7 4/64 global for the past two weeks & I am trying my best to forget that experience :) . On paper the 74.3 vs 75.2mm weidth, 7.5 vs 8.1 mm depth & 176 vs 186 does not sound much of a difference; but, keep honor play on one hand & redmi note 7 on another and tell me I am crazy :) The only respect note 7 leads is the camera (which is not also as fancy as advertised). Please post your comment regarding "Hi Touch", "Digital Balance" & "Health" app on emui.

  • bought this phone yesterday & so far loving it. I was a avid miui fan until recently- when they came up with the brilliant idea of integrating advertisement within system apps :). I have to admit, emui is in no way a mediocre os & the hardware on this phone speaks for itself. I have a small palm size & so far had no stress in using this phone with one hand. You will fall in love with the display (implicitely considering that you did not have the company of AMOLED) & aesthetically I'm not a fan of dewdrop/waterdrop display on some higher tier phones. Battery life is superb too (infact better than some 4000mah battery I got my hands on). The only downside e is lack of stereo sounds & below average speaker loudness while playing media (no problem with the ringtone volume though).

  • It's not the phone, dota underlords is still on beta

  • note 7 pro miui is better, gaming is better on honor play overall note 7 pro with snapdragon 675

  • Yes To All. & EMUI Throttles This Phone.

  • honor play / pocofone f1? not into mobile photography/ video recording whatsoever.

  • This PHONE lag while playing UNDERLORDS Especially when start battle. Setting vdeo high & ultra

  • As I said, no other major problem whatsoever. Read till the end of my previous comment. The phone is fast and reliable, it seems that it has 4gig ram but the problem is with the software. I had a S7edge before this, that runs on 4gig ram too, but apps were there even for days. When memory was full then it started to close the least recent apps, which was really unlikely and you could always enjoy multitasking like a thunder. I really hope that this problem could be solved somehow as I really like the phone in all other aspects specially the aluminium body which is really rare these days. I always use my phones with no case or bumper or anything and this one feels great in hand. Oh by the way there are some minor scratches on the screen too which tells me that the gorilla glass is not that high but thats acceptable for a phone with this price. Let me know if you have any solution for my problem, it really annoys me. 👍

  • Honor Play or Redmi Note 7 Pro?

  • Does it have overheating issue? Does it lag or get slow? Does it drop frames during graphically demanding games and heat up? How is fast charging performance and battery back up? Would you rate it as a phone providing smooth user performance? What are some major issues of this you think you can and should tell other android enthusiasts who are willing to have this phone?

  • Worst phone ever, generally Huawei. Ram has no meaning in this phone. You leave an app for 3 seconds and its gone, even you lose data switching between Chrome tabs. I had a T2 Sony with less than 1gig ram and it wasnt as bad as this. Multitasking is completely meaningless with this phone. I really regret buying this. Though all other things are fine. But a phone with no ram is useless to me.

  • Do you think there will be a Honor Play 2?

  • Should I buy pocophone f1 or Realme 3 pro ?

  • buy xiaomi then, if you like gaming

  • no samsung a series is good

  • yes bro 100%

  • Use a toothpick..roll some mildly damp paper on it and insert it in the audio jack..be very gentle though..you should see some dirt coming out. . Faced this issue on my honor 7 ..problem solved for now.

  • It's not banned anymore.

  • is google banned in honor play?? i want to buy it but i'm not sure.

  • I would add, that I have several older Android phones and they have no support on the system and they work normally without any problem, so I think that all these security updates are just the way to have more information for your location and your data.

  • Fine if security is not a high priority since security last no longer than 2 years on any Android version... (more or less)

  • Yes, my honor 10 is with 22,5W fast charger

  • I think with this phone the gaming thing is just marketing - it's no better for gaming than other phones in its class. I like it a lot (big screen, big battery, fast, 3.5mm jack, what's not to like?) but certain niggles stop it being great. Really good value for money though, well worth it.

  • is it wise decision to buy honor play this 2019???

  • I have about 250 euro and I want to buy a phone for playing games so Should I buy honor play or something else?

  • hi, does kirin 970 support super charge?? Thanks

  • Clear Catch.

  • I have a notification problem. Notifications come late, what is the solution to this problem?

  • Running smoothly

  • Honor play all the way

  • Honor play

  • galaxy a 50

  • Did any one recommend to update to 9.0.0.181 Or still on 8.2.0.0.131 As i hearded that new update 9.0.0.181 was not staple for battery Please advice?

  • Did any one recommend to update to 9.0.0.181 Or still on 8.2.0.0.131 As i hearded that new update 9.0.0.181 was not staple for battery Please advice?

  • Honor Play much more worth it Pro : - Build Metal - GPU Turbo - Larger and Better Screen and Battery Cons : - Google ban issue (TBC)

  • I want to buy honor play or galaxy a 50 . I am between this 2 smartphone. Which one you advice me?

  • Hey, I had the same problem when I used the Honor Play. I read your problem and my ad ice is to back up your data and reset the phone. I did the same thing and it was finelater on.

  • Hi guys i have problems in map navigation pls help to sort out

  • The stable version of the EMUI 9.1 for Honor Play will come first in China. However, the company will begin rolling out the stable version across the globe later this summer.

  • by when can we expect stable version of EMUI 9.1

  • Clean the 3.5 with a tiny pin 📍

  • are u sure about this?

  • EMUI 9.1 is on the way for our Honor Play.

  • Screen retention sit

  • Hi guys. So, I was using the same pair of headphones for some time and out of the sudden they started disconnecting at the slightest movement for no reason( they work perfectly with any other device). Did anyone else have the problem and what could be done. Thanks in advance!

  • I've got .190 in UK

  • I have 191. and its perfect

  • What is the last stable emui version for this device? I heard emui 9 isn't that good

  • Yes

  • Stereo sound system is not working in my honor play (when i use earphone). How to solve this?

  • can I ask If honor phones also affected with the "ban" thing with google and other partners?

  • anyone has installed updates . 191 yet?

  • What changes does the update bring? I haven't installed it yet. Did you find any changes regarding battery charge or performance or camera? Appreciate your reply.

  • Got the .189 update last week. I'm also from Ph, btw.

  • Honor 8x vs Honor Play. Are you kidding? Honor Play is far better then 8x.

  • It looks like you are very smart? but I do not care about your thoughts and it's normal that the kirin 970 is better than kirin 710 but it's about 10-20% not 100%, and when you write comments it would be good to log in with the name not as anonymous, since in that case you are nobody and nothing, so it's hard to live like that.

  • kirin 970 is far better than kirin 710 and also that is life for you just take it in.

  • Hi guys I am having trouble with Google voice assistance how to enable voice assistance from any screen. It says to enable enhanced google services but I can't find it in settings someone please help me.

  • I'm glad to see that you are still with feelings, now I can say that you are my friend and I will explain that in my first comment to the person who looking for suggestions betwean honor play and honor 8x I said that honor play is better by specifications but the honor 8x is also good and i told him to go for one of them. have nice day.

  • hi sorry to say this, but you might be focusing more on how it was said, rather than focusing on what was said. sure you might feel that was a little hostile, but it was pretty much true too

  • what should i buy honor play or nova 3i? respect

  • just to add I'm not your dude or friend, because I do not know you and even after such an unlikely comment from your side embedded on me without my request I do not mind you as a friend or an enemy but if you are such an attacked comment you can only make the enemies, so I do not need your reversed and attacked answer, unless you have something positive to write.

  • Uhhhhh you sure about that? Hisilicon Kirin 710 (Honor 8X) v.s. Hisilicon Kirin 970 (Honor Play) dude, 710 is trash. GPU: Mali-G51 MP4 (Honor 8X) v.s. Mali-G72 MP12 (Honor Play) dude, you don't even know what you are talking about. Honor Play has the same Chipset and GPU as P20 Pro which is a "FLAGSHIP LEVEL" Clearly you don't know what you are talking about.

  • Thanks. Yes I will go for violet one.

  • So I'm quite confused. Others are getting the .189 update and I'm still at .187. Am I missing something? Oh I'm from Philippines btw.

  • by specification Honor play has a small advantage, I personally have the Honor of 8x JSN-L21 and it is with a slightly larger screen and background of 15 canvas glass, and I can tell you that it is superior and rocket fast, the look is 1000eur device , so the two are great , just go for 1

  • Now that the EMUI 9 is out Does anyone tried the desktop mode on honor play or its not supported on this phone? I'm planning to buy this over v20 if its supported....

  • please go for honor play... its 50 times better than that..

  • I will buy Honor Play or Honor 8X. Which is better? Suggestions please.

  • Same here in Indonesia

  • is honor play player edition and the normal black, purple not selling in the market anymore? i've find lots of online and offline shops, and none of them are selling those, they're only selling the blue ones.

  • cgg3 or 4 would do, i believe it really won't jack up the price so high, i'd say $50 increase to the price will still make it a good bang for the buck phone unless you compare it to poco. Who says i got complain about the plasticy material?

  • In Poland we have also .189. No patches.

  • Same did yours 189 update come with patches?

  • 1. It will cost a lot more if it was made in more premium materials 2. if you don't like the plastic feel you can just get a good looking case

  • Received .189 April security update in UK.

  • srsly, this phone has no corning gorilla glass, you can look for the specs of it. i owned an iphone 5 before and it has cgg1 and it took me almost 3 dozens of drop before it had a small crack on the screen itself.

  • What?? And you think Gorilla Glass never breaks. Seriously stupid comment

  • Is honor play not available anymore? Especially the player edition? Because I've seen few stores had the blue ones only, or is there any other budget phone that's good for pubg other than poco f1

  • Is pubg running smothly on hdr ??

  • bought this phone march 22. The only bad thing i can say about this is it has no gorilla glass and it sucks because i recently dropped it by accident and the screen had a crack. I can't complain much about the cam since i don't really use it because the only reason i bought this is for gaming or playing hence the name of this phone "Play".

  • It happens because Kirin 970 chipset throttles easily and you see the drop in frames because of the overheating, just lower the graphics settings to smooth and Extreme frame rate and you should be fine but don't play on HDR because bthe dropped frames will make you lose the game.

  • Hey guys pubg lags on my honor play and my play gets warm but after i completly clear the ram it runs smooth for a while and then goes back to laggy... Ya guys think theres a worm?

  • My phone stays quite cool when playing PUBG. It never heats up that much, only little.

  • I own the honor play and i have no issues with it. I have the red player editio one and it looks so good

  • Honor play is far better than a50. For better gaming experience you should go for honor

  • Had the 7x and bought the Play 4 months later, it's doesn't clone very well if at all some files transfer but most don't including contacts so you need to do that manually which is painstaking - camera quality is better as is sound quality, build quality is the same ie excellent. The latest version of Android doesn't allow you to remove the icons you don't use from the desktop like Gmail and Drive - I try to avoid Google services generally. USB type c will be a welcome change for some, for the price it's unbeatable compared to any Apple of Samsung hands down..

  • I was using Mate 8 previouslya and upgraded to Honor Play COR-L10 and haven't found any bugs so far. My phone has slip 2 times without cracking the screen or scratches. My friend bought pocofone and after slip the screen got cracked. The only problem is that the phone heats up when playing ASPHALT 9 or PUBG. However i recommend this phone!!! Love you HONOR PLAY.

  • Hi All, i find the Huawei P20 same price with Honor Play. I like the larger screen of Honor Play but is it worth to choose Honor Play over P20 due to that reason? My current phone is P9 Lite, I dont play games and I use the phone for business, chatting and browsing. Thanks.

  • No issues

  • I rather buy the Pocophone F1, stable and fast updates. Honor play is a gimmick, I used it for 2 months and I bought the Poco F1. Just my opinion

  • Does honour play supports 3CA ?? in India many phone works with 4G+ like one plus, Zuk etc. in AIRTEL, Jio network But in play same network no such signal 4G+ Any view on this

  • Honor play + honor 8x = nova 3 (premium price though)

  • For best gaming... Buy honor 10 lite... Its best optimized... I m using.. mali g51 is best optimizrd

  • Honor play of course!!

  • I'm using honor play 6gb variant for nearly 3 months... I found no issues in it... And using this mobile is really cool... And I found no lag at all.. The battery life is pretty good... And it has a good display.. The gaming performance is extraordinary... And it's far more better than a50...

  • i wana buy one but some people mentioned issues in it? Dose it worth or should I just go for a50 samsung

  • Did you notice any issues after pie update?? Some people mentioned a lot of issues on honor play

  • Its very strong and big u can use for more than 6 hours screen on And about 4 hours gaming

  • Honor play of course if u want a strong phone for playing and such hard work. But honor 8x got a better camera this is the only thing could make u buy 8x so u decide

  • I got android pie and emui 9.0 And waiting for emui 9.1 is coming soon

  • Honor play could manage your hard work, u can use it all day without stopping. Playing heavy games like pubg fortnite for hours without any problems, browsing. And the battery is so big u can play for more than 3 hours without charging. i've been using it more than 5 months. And it's getting the last updates its emui 8 android oreo Now it's Android pie and emui 9.0 and getting emui 9.1 soon And the cpu kirin 970 stronger than the one in the note 7 i don't know about realme 3 but i think honor play is the best

  • I would prefer picking up Redmi Note 7 Pro because of stable updates and community forum are the best.

  • After the latest update of 9.0 Pie my camera is malfunctioning. I'm unable to record videos at 60 FPS. Whenever I set the settings for 60 FPS it records and save the video in 30 FPS. And also when I use camera sometimes my notification bar turns to pink like somekind of glitching or something else. The 9.0 pie version ruined everything. It was a great smartphone when it was on 8.0 Naugat.

  • do not ever buy honor play, it s useless mobile with nothing late updates (late security patch), gpu turbo is marketing gimmick, the charging was fast but after an update it slowed, kirin 970 is not worth go for redmi note 7 pro this is my opinion, i'm using honor play since 7 months

  • I am planning to buy a mobile... Which is best? Honor play or redmi note 7 pro or realme 3... I am extreme user...which one is best...can anyone suggest?...thanks

  • gaming smudges remain even after wiping with microfiber cloth. Also display is vulnerable to microscratches, but i dont care much about them. No other issues so far(5 months)

  • hi guys when i want to check for update(system update-EMUI) after few seconds its jump out from it...its already running in background but still have same problem when i switch into it... is it normal??:| and one more thing what's the latest android & EMUI version for this phone? thx :)

  • Mine doesn't

  • How is vdo calling quality in low light

  • there is no big difference with 9.0 pie, just some improvements in the system, but not very important

  • I want to know this too

  • hello, we are still on 8.2.0.131 c185gt. we stick to oreo forever!

  • go for honor 8x no heating issue.. big screen big storage premium build. good camera than play.

  • How the battery?

  • Can it be my next 3 years phone ?

  • Normally as it is written'' late security updates'' is not an ''android update system''

  • late security updates..no added features

  • Honor play or honor 8x

  • Hmmm, I was so ready to buy this phone, but even the global version does NOT have the frequencies we need here. It's missing some key bands, like B4, UMTS, AWS 1700 / 2100. So I ended up with the Xiaomi Mi A2 which supports these bands and have an awesome camera. Plus it costs much less.

  • Its seems just security updates and didn't note any difference yet

  • Review on honor play 184 update camera eis is fixed doesn't work as well as emui 8.2 but it now works atleast and gaming performance is exactly like emui 8.2 now but there is now a heating issue the device can reach 35 to 40c on standby without using the device

  • Its soo good phone

  • Whats the new

  • how can u not experiencing a noticeable battery drops at all.. even at light phone usage?

  • On 184, no issue at all.

  • Just received new update 9.0.0.188 weight 506 Mb in UAE

  • I want both badly :)

  • just rollback to oreo

  • after. 184 update, battery life still doesn't improve. even on light usage battery drain dropped a lot.. very disappointed with the phone

  • yes its good inmobile legend

  • Got 2 updates on my honor play today cor l29 varient the 186 update and a 186 patch update saying fixes issue with green border in front camera video mode. Was just under 4gb

  • Hi guys. Does the Honor Play performs the same as the Poco F1 when it comes to playing MOBILE LEGENDS? Only Mobile Legends, not PUBG and other games.

  • Have You checked front camera ? Does it have "green" frame during filming ? Does AIS or EIS works fine during filming ? I am waiting for this update in Poland, i hope everything will be fine with it :)

  • Finally got the .184 update in UK.

  • I own player edition Red and there is no difference expect the special red color with some engraved laser design on the back of the phone , thats it !!!

  • haven't experience screen delay so far, been using this phone since November 2018. Maybe you mean Touch delay? if that is what you mean so, it was already fix with the latest Official Update of PIE

  • base on my experience, the phone will only drop the fps if you have a background apps running, before playing PUBG try to Use phone manager and make sure all other apps is closed, reduce screen brightness to 80%, i hope it will help, if not, you may try to repair pubg itself by using the Repair button.

  • after the latest update, i didn't encountered anymore, in short touch delay already fix.

  • honestly i have no idea about it, but you can still download 3rd party app Like the ACR call recording app from the play store. it perfectly work for every call that you will received and call that you made.

  • Do not buy this phone..so bad because its has screen delay..bad for game

  • You actually answered you own question, frame drops happen when the chipset in the device throttles due to the overheating problem in Kirin 970 inside of the Honor play so lowering the graphics to ultra may make your experience better and close all background apps.

  • Love this phone. Good camera with nice options like hdr and amazing night mode. Performance is very good for my use but I dont play heavy games. Battery lasts all day. Screen is beautiful like the phone itself. I have found no minuses im the phone and have used it for half year.

  • I got pie 2 months ago, try to google your problem?

  • hello, how lucky you're, we are stick in oreo forever! we are in 8.2.0.131 c185gt and October 2018 security patch!!! any one in middle east get pie? in saudi Arabia or iran?

  • Does any one face the battery drain problem? My phone battery lasts only 8,9 hours on lite use, i mostly use whatsapp

  • All same except body design.

  • Guys I have a problem.... When I play pubg with my honor play I chose to have it on smooth graphics and extreme framerates which means 60 fps... But when I play for like half an hour the frames start dropping adn then getting back up... I don't like this at a ll and it ruins my expirience... I have already downloaded the gfx tool to enchanse performance but it still does that... Another question I have is do you have any solution for the overheating issues?

  • Please what is the difference between honor play and honor player edition and what is the best? thanks .

  • i used honor 6x for 2 years now and never ever found any touch issue while playing pubg...

  • Do honor play still have multi touch delay issue? Im planning to buy it for playing pubg and i dont like poco f1 because the build quality of it sucks. Does the multi touch issue already resolved? Or only other unit have it and not all?

  • I haven't received the latest update

  • Anyone know whether honor play COR L29 will give call recording feature in next update? Because latest update dose not give this feature for this model.

  • After update any issues are raised or not I would like to buy honor play suggest me buy or go with another phone like note 7 pro

  • F1 does not have NFC, if you do not need it, f1 is a bit better

  • pocophone f1 - no NFS honor note10 - no international version

  • F1 does not have NFC take this in consideration

  • Xiaomi pocophone f1 or honor play?

  • I got the phone 3 day ago. I expected it to be great and it is fantastically better than I expected. I wasn't so pleased with the user interface on my ascend mate some years ago, then I moved to Sony and then Samsung and I was worried about the UI getting this phone. Huawei UI is great now specially after the upgrade. The only thing is although the overall display quality is better than my previous phone S7 edge, when playing games it has lower quality and a little blurry, colors also are kind of different. The processing is fast and without any lag or delay but display quality kind of sucks for this phone. My device is black and I really enjoy this metal body with such an excellence. I don't use any cover or case.

  • Same here.. performance mode is back and some bugs from multi tasking that i knew are gone

  • I just received the official pie update 9.0.0.0184 for COR L29 file size is 0.91GB can't give feedback for now. I will give feedback for this update after 24hrs

  • Just received the update for official pie version 9.0.0.0184 COR L29 size of 0.91GB

  • do you guys know how to lock LTE network on this phone?

  • thanks for your opinoin

  • Already updated to pie

  • Is there any news about updating to android pie?

  • COR-L29 does not get monthly security updates.

  • I have both phones and I would definitely choose the Huawei Honor Play. Overall the design is better of the Honor play it has more slimmer bezels on samsung a7 the top and bottom are massive. The processor is better in the honor play and it is faster in everything such as launching apps and starting up. In my opinion the dual cameras of the honor play are better than the triple cameras of the Samsung. The unlocking of the honor play is soooo fast than the samsung a7 in both ways fingerprint and face unlocking.

  • Boss i got may honor play six month back... Now i moved to android pie.. Nd got every month google secuirty update...... Plz done make fake.... Writing.......... Plz go ahead and buy the phone

  • Honor Play of course, because Honor play has better battery back up, better processor, better GPU, and it has coprocessor i7, quick charging, available storage. Galaxy A7 has a better camera.

  • Galaxy A7 or Huawei Honor Play? And why?

  • Of course the honor play is better because of it's flagship processor, the Hisilicon Kirin 970 and it has GPU Turbo. Of you want to go for the camera but the galaxy A7

  • Hey! I have also used the honor play for about 4-5 months, but still i got no update. So, i switched to the Samsung galaxy s10+ which runs on the One UI and it's even Android Pie. I suggest that you should sell your Honor Play and buy the Poco F1 which has got the Android Pie Update

  • Has any one used it with At&t in the US? does it work?

  • hello, please help me! I'm confused!!! my cor-l29 8.2.0.131 c185gt still in oreo and October 2018 security patch 🤔 i can't understand the logic of rolling out the updates of this device, i'm going to leave honor for ever, if no update until April. 6 month without support! what the hell

  • I also have latest 161 patch but I still have problem with calendar notifications...

  • Honor play has a better chipset but the software is buggy.

  • absolutely honor play

  • Hello. Can anyone tell about differences Huawei Honor Play and A7? Who is better? Want buy new phone but cant decide about two these phones. Sorry for bad eng :)

  • It's running on Android Pie with February security patch and you can play games like PUBG on the highest settings for 6 hours continuosly and the performance is top notch and rivals devices like the much more expensive Note 9 and iPhone X which is insane at this price.

  • Thank you so much for answering guys!!!I'd really appreciate it ....and what is the latest update for pocof1???how long can the battery last in playing games???what about the performance???

  • Software by itself is also OK for me, but camera problem(video recording without AIS) is frustrating a little bit :)

  • Don't know what all the fuss is about on these comments. I have an Honor Play with latest Pie update ending 161 & have absolutely zero problems.

  • POCO

  • Poco F1 fOR SUre. BUt i will choose honor play. I'm an honor fan eh..

  • Hello guys ....please help me ...I needed some advice ...which is greater phone in gamings????pocophone f1 or honor play honor note10 or X8????thank you in advance....performed battery life no lag

  • Go for F1

  • hello guys i updated to emui 9 after that when i opened the camera i dont find the qmoji and 3d objects no more i dont know how to fix i called the company but they told me that they will fix it with another update and the proplem is not from the phone it`s the fuck*n software but after all this i dont trust the company .....so guys what do you suggest me to do???

  • and me too, i can't understand their logic to update this device. I'm confused.

  • Is your Internet speed decreased because you didn't update?

  • Please help me to choose a phone my requirements are little bit abnormal, I have more then 1000 of whatsapp groups which is related to my business and i keep on adding many daily. i need a phone which does not hangs and have great ram management battery life, performance, display currently my mind is set to SamsungA50, Poco F1, Honor Play please let me know which will be best and if you have a better option let me know. I really need a stable good performance and good battery device with nice display.

  • I guess that's the next update as my update yesterday was 9.0.0.161 and came with January 2019 security patch 3.68gb.

  • I have the same version still no update

  • Camera still without AIS/EIS. In India they have update with number .184 - this solves camera issue.

  • I received an update on my honor play cor l29 varient today and most things are fixed widevine l1 is back for HD Netflix, pubg graphics are back to normal and camera/video seems a little bit better

  • China Mobile version TL has more LTE bands and 6GB variant with more frequent firmware updates but bloatware of course.

  • I would like to know which of the honor version is better-the chinese one or the global one.Currently having the COR-AL10(Chinese rom).

  • We mean the touch delay. When we use our second finger to turn in ping it takes a second to turn same goes for Fortnite. It's really annoying.

  • After using this phone for more than a month (on emui 9 pie) here are key shortcomings:- 1. Digital balance app is not accurate , it doesn't calculate time used by apps properly after keeping it on for few days. for example if you set daily phone usage limit to 4 hours in this app , a week later you will find that you have used phone for an hour on a given day while remaining screen time is being shown as 2 hours or 2.5 hours left instead of 3 that day. 2. Digital balance also affects remaining screen on time in a funny way that shows upto 50-60 hours while in reality phone provides 12-14 hours of screen on time. Switch off screen time management however brings back screen on time to accurate levels between 10 -15 hours depending upon usage. 3. Front video camera shoots videos with ugly green border when 18.7:9 (10 MP) resolution is selected. This bug will affect all who will update their phone to 9.0.0.184 version. 4. PIP mode in youtube & google maps doesn't work after updating to android pie ! 5. Front camera takes oil paint pictures even in bright light and zooming them reveals soft edges.

  • I don't have tempered for 3 months, and I put my phone in pocket, with coins etc and it s fine like new

  • Hello guys. I am a honor 7x user and i like this Play, too. There's no gorilla mentioned in the specs of the phone, i want to ask if it's durable enough for casual use? I've seen on YouTube its bend test and it was great though.

  • This phone is very good for it's price. But the problem isn't in the phone but in the software. As you know, Huawei is known for its glitchy "launcher", and EMUI 9 is no exception. Sometimes, when I open my recent apps window (I don't know how to call it) or enable some filters in portrait mode the phone may stop working for a moment. And also it's not launcher friendly (at least with some launchers as it seems they're not improved enough for the new recent apps design).

  • Same as mine. I can no longer use my SD as primary storage. Never got this problem before (9.0.0.156) Hope honor fix this issue next update

  • I never mentioned, that I have some problems with PUBG ? Only with camera on pie - no more AIS.

  • I am on emui 9. I got no issiues with pubg with max settings.

  • then am in .156

  • Maybe some issues this update android 9 still going on beta.,if you've update your phone on "P" just wait for next update. For who's didnt update & still on android 8 "O" better you wait untill the beta done... I still looking up myself for that issues guys. This is not just happened on honor play

  • Still no update emui 9 on my honor play COR-l29 C185GT

  • Guys this phone has a second touch delay and iys really annoying, it got fixed on the 9.0.0.181 update but I have cor-l29 and I didn't get the update, PLEASE HELP I'M on 9.0.0.159 patch 2

  • pubg is the only criteria to judge a mobil's efficiency n performance honor play fails to give security patch also

  • No..

  • Camera performance was better on oreo

  • wasted my money on this mobile, should have gone for poco

  • After recent update i cant play pubg and send picture.. Why?? Someone please help me.. Do i need to format my phone?

  • In emui 9 ,game suit(app assistance)no more working.GPU is running in low clock even you playing game,so you need to turn on 'performance mode 'in battery setting so that your phone's cpu/gpu can run in full power.Some game no really need powerful gpu like AOV is till playable,but like pubg you only can play smooth with lower graphic setting and 30fps. Now the problem is,some people like me don't have performance mode in setting.

  • What's happening on Android 9.0?

  • You are lucky on 8 :) I would like to downgrade mine, but this option is no longer in hisuite.

  • I can't send the photo in the messenger, when i choose the photo to send, it's impossible ( emui 9.0)

  • Same for me. I play PUBG very frequently at highest settings and I get NO LAG at all!! I dont know, maybe they have too many background tasks??

  • I haven't had an update since 9.0.0.156 I'm in UK.

  • All the people who are using Honor Play and complaining about lag like playing PUBG, am i missing something? I'm using my Honor Play for 1 month now, i play pubg everyday no lag or whatsoever on HDR Ultra settings. Still on Android 8.0 Oreo, though.

  • got update ? ur from India?

  • They chaned it name now it called app assistant and you can enable it from the setting

  • Yes pubg is lagy but there is game mode, they changed the name now its called app assistant and you can enable it from the setting, there is a video in YouTube conserningthat matter, btw what update are you in??

  • After updaring my phone i got no battery charging problem but battery drain is a little more than before

  • No charging problem with me(checked with ampere app in google store.) Some minor problems like camera is there, but the worst is no performance mode for me,very lag in pubg mobile.

  • Bro I want talk about my honor play with u..after last update my phone is charging very slowly...don't know..I this same happening with u..can u give me ur no..I can talk to u

  • Help i need to know this. Is this phone available in iraq

  • What happened to call recording, honro should implement it as soon as possible

  • Can anyone tell me why i don't have performance mode after update to emui9?My phone is COR-L29 and the system is 9.0.0.159.

  • Reset settings, it helped me. REMEMBER reset settings and not the phone. This is the exclusive feature honor play got compared to other phones. You can just reset the settings and no data will be deleted or lost and your network will run fast like a horse again :)

  • Hi Honor Team I need your help., pls. fix the Mobile Data Issue that's all my concern.. cause i cannot fucos on online gaming since Mobile Data Network keeps on disconnecting.. pls. help us.. we are now need your help.. pls.. pls.. ;(

  • Hi All, Can anybody help about the Mobile Data not working properly All ready Update to latest Patch but still Mobile Data not working properly Already do research on Internet but still Not working.. pls. help me.. thanks a lot :(

  • My Honor play receive EMUI9.0.0.159 patch2 and have issue memory card not read, anybody can help or wait for next update?

  • No

  • The best wireless earphone i ever used with decent bass is Huawei AM61

  • Does emui have built-in apps ads like miui?

  • Want to know the best suitable earphone or wireless earphone for honor play. Please mention me the brand and its output result.

  • Is there any way to record calls in regions where it is not enabled by emui in Android Pie? Which software should I use? (Using Android Pie and there is no built in call recording feature in EMUI 9 in my region)

  • i own note 9 and this honor play,but I use my honor play more since it can handle much abuse from me to spoil my note 9. I can say this phone is very good,well balanced mobile for everything. I love the battery(but now i noticed that it start to degrade due to abusive use. cI noticed that mobile data really kills the battery a lot,i use my honor as wifi hotspot everyday,game for pubg,gps always on,and display on adaptive mode, so far the battery is fine unlike before it dies quicker. I will bring my device soon to the service center for battery replacement.

  • Ai is just a gimmick just like GPU turbo, those are nothing but a marketing stunt and the performance of the Snapdragon 835 is much more consistent and it can keep the thermals low unlike Kirin 970 which overheats and throttles the chipset easily, I tested both Nokia 8 and Huawei Nova 3 and nova 3 turned into a volcano after playing Shadowgun legends at ultra high graphics and 60 fps, that's why I'm impressed with the Pocophone and Snapdragon 845 I mean it's one of the top ten fastest smartphones in the world right now and look at that price, this thing is Insane.

  • Yeah the snapdragon 835 gpu beats the kirin 970 gpu but only slightly according to antutu and geekbench the difference is 100 to 300 in score which is that tiny you can't really tell the difference but the 845 snapdragon does destroy the kirin 970 in nearly every aspect but the kirin 970 npu (for ai) is better than the snapdragon 845

  • from dubai, uae

  • Kirin 970 is equal to Snapdragon 835 in terms of CPU not GPU, the GPU on the Snapdragon 845 crushes the Mali GPU in Kirin 970 and it's still faster than the Mali GPU in Kirin 980 in the mate 20 pro so when it comes to graphics performance there's no comparison Snapdragon 845 is on another level.

  • Poco loco is right. The kirin 970 is equal to the snapdragon 835 processeser but the poco phone is the snapdragon 845 so in terms of power the poco fone wins but bare in mind the power difference between the snapdragon 845 and the kirin 970 is tiny as the kirin 970 equals the snapdragon 835

  • It has 970, perfect battery , type c, screen , good camera it's a perfect phone for its price ;-)

  • i saw this phone earlier at 230 euros , with kirin 970 4/64 gb , i wonder why this phone isnt talked a lot. anyone who has this phone , what are the its biggest cons? if its about the camera then its not a big deal for me tbh .

  • thanks a lot, were are you? witch country?

  • Two new small patch i received each one around 2 mb only and its mention important system patch and other one is to fix call waiting issue

  • Yes its c185

  • hello, the cust of you is c185? or c432, please send your complete build number, for example: cor-l29 9.0.0.181 c185 or ... thanks

  • i got 0.181 and i think its latest and i dont think anyone got 0.185

  • There is no stabilization button or either EIS option

  • Does honor phones support Google camera?? I loved everything about it except the camera

  • May You please share the info, if in the Camera app there is a button "stabilization" ? In this 9.0.0.181 compilation.

  • Funny we see those plastic lovers attacking honor play in fact HonorPlay better camera pocophone F1 had problem hardware and softwar pls pocophone is not a mobile even just gba with sim pocophone overrted because some can’t buy real phones lol pocophone F1 fans are worse than sonic fandom because they made more stock accounts for saying pocophone better than mate 20 and s10 i feel sad for pocophone fans

  • Honor play android pie beta version users anyone received stable emui 9 version???

  • Yes, battery life is much better now and prformance also little better than before,, but no new feature and still EIS is missing in video settings,, Honor Club app also added itself

  • Did this new update make some new differences in performance and working of honor play? Please waiting for reply ✌️

  • hello, what is your cust? 185 or ... any on get pie on cust 185? please!!!

  • If you know nothing about tech it's not my fault. Are you honestly comparing Snapdragon 845 in the Pocophone with Kirin 970 in Honor play? If you don't know the difference I can't really help you, do your research.

  • Funny we see those plastic lovers attacking honor play in fact HonorPlay better camera pocophone F1 had problem hardware and softwar pls pocophone is not a mobile even just gba with sim pocophone overrted because some can’t buy real phones lol pocophone F1 fans are worse than sonic fandom because they made more stock accounts for saying pocophone better than mate 20 and s10 i feel sad for pocophone fans

  • New update received ( 604 Mb) version : 9.0.0.181

  • It's just software bug, which always occurs while a phone is updated to new firmware, and we hope Honor will soon remove these bugs in there future updates soon. That's why I was mentioning not to update to android pie for now and wait for more stable updates. Its a great phone with android 8.1 oreo :)

  • Not in android pie update the pocofone f1 is way better the camera is now terrible on honor play and video quality is the worst I've ever seen in a phone, gaming the phone heats up to 50c sometimes but rarely 60c which thermal throttles the device and Netflix HD content is gone. The honor play with android 8 equalled the pocofone no issues what I stated above heating when gaming was in the 40c, had Netflix in HD and EIS made videos recording great but now its a piece of trash. Honor play with android 8 is 8 out of 10 and honor play with android 9 is a 4.5 out of 10. Don't waste your money on the honor play I'm so disappointed unless this is updated soon I'm selling it

  • My Honor Play has a crisp sharp camera and using Pro mode or night mode takes great night shots too. You don't know what you're talking about and obviously don't know how to use a camera properly

  • Stop with this childish 'this is better or that is better' It's irrelevant and just opinion not fact

  • Dude I'm using the Pocophone right now and what you say is impossible, I'm a tech geek and I've tested smartphones from Huawei, Samsung honor etc. Kirin 970 can't hold a candle to Snapdragon 845 and the speaker on the honor play is simply awful with not enough volume to consume media and you think 47 degrees is fine while gaming? It will throttle the already weak chipset and cause frame drops that'll cost you the game in games like PUBG, Pocophone never went above 37 while playing PUBG on extreme frame rate, the Poco has an amazing dual stereo speakers and the display is great.

  • I have told this all from personal experiences, my brother has poco amd i have used both the phones. Both are awesome smartphones. Just poco looks below average in build and design quality to honor play. a ALSO honor play has better display and battery life time from personal experience and its sound is amazing with very good heat controlled gaming. Never went above 46-47 at extremes.

  • Try cases on amazon. They have the right cases for honor play

  • It is a very good phone and for gaming. It runs high graphics on fortnite and full graphics on pubg and other games.

  • Lol are you kidding me? The Pocophone has a better battery and a cooling system and a better chipset for gaming so how exactly is Honor play better than Poco in everything? Have you tried playing Fortnite at epic settings? On honor play you can't. Have you played shadowgun legends on ultra high 60 fps? It will lag as hell and overheat and have you played asphalt 9 and got motion blur effect? Etc I could go all day to show you the obvious Pocophone is on another level and ironically it's way better in gaming than the so called gaming phone honor play

  • Due to heavy demand of honor play over poco, honor play temporarily went out of stock overnight. Now they have stocked it back again. But price is again higher than they sold during sale last month.

  • I don't think so, every phone has a different length and size, even mm counts. Plus camera and buttons positions

  • If you want best camera phone, go for poco. But if you want an all rounder with average camera, choose honor play. Except camera, honor play is better than poco in every thing. Looks sexy and has great battery backup with best processor and lots of ram, just don't upgrade to android pie 9 for now✌️😁

  • Hi everyone, I've recently purchased the Honor play but i couldn't find a case for it anywhere near me , so i thought that the case for the nova 3i will fit it , does it ??

  • If Ur confused then don't go with either one go something different

  • Honor play or Pocophone F1 ? I am confused

  • xz1 is better in everything except the old 16:9 screen makes the phone to small but the screen is Hdr and have reality engine

  • Mines got no bugs runs like a charm

  • 4.4 gb!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Or 1.4 gb?? :)

  • I'm using the Pocophone and don't believe everything you read, the phone is awesome and flies because of its powerful chipset, good camera, stereo speakers, cooling system, it's better than honor play in every way and I have no issues whatsoever, no screen bleeding, no touch issues no bugs in the software. Everything about this phone is perfect and for gaming SD 845 is on another level

  • Go buy Honor Play. I am using this amazing phone since November and it had no issues like poco F1. It also has the company's most powerfull processor kiting 970.

  • Hi. Is Honor Play worth buying? I'm torn between buying poco f1 or Honor Play but I have read that poco f1 has so many issues.

  • This or Xperia xz1

  • No , no gorilla glass protection but you can use a screen protector and the body of the device is solid but if you're buying it for gaming, there are a lot of better options because this phone overheats easily and the chipset throttles.

  • How is the build quality and durability on this phone? and is there any protection on the screen? (gorilla glass, etc)

  • Thanks.. Well I will gonna use the phone more for gaming.. I don't care about the camera.. All I need is good performance and good battery life..

  • You can buy it from Amazon

  • Yes

  • Why Honor Play is no more available? Is it discontinued?

  • Why my phone not have performance mode?

  • Call recording feature is not available in honor play COR L 29, Any one know that it will be available in next update or not? in Indian version have this feature. It is very useful feature honor should add this feature to all honor play devices.

  • Both have same CPU and GPU, so you can go with any of them.

  • Which one is better-Honor Play or Honor 10 main thing is focused on Gaming. Thanks

  • First of all uninstall your original APK then install Mod APK, but remember copy game data to another folder otherwise it will be remove when you uninstall your game.

  • Whenever i try to install mods like asphalt 8 mods it says app not installed what to do!

  • I received this feature just after Pie update. And it is in the Battery settings. My compilation number is 9.0.0.161(C432E1R1R9). I live in Poland.

  • hello, please, any one get pie with cor-l29 c185 ?

  • double tap is an extra feature?!!

  • Can you tell on what update version did you get the Performance Mode feature? I still not found the feature on my HP device. Someone said it is in the battery setting but i never found it.

  • Bro its a good device i bought it for 12599, during amazon offer with hdfc 10% OFF, Pros- Gaming Screeen clarity Battery life Cons- UI Camera Brand name, not like nokia Samsung, comes is 2nd class category Not sure about how durable it is Verdict- Please consider this device only if you find it below 15k otherwise look for other devices out there, I dont know much about 8.1 but i would say nokia is always superior than honor.

  • expensive with no extra features (swipe or double tap to wake)

  • For me, the only problem on Pie is lack of AIS in camera apk. Rest is as good at it was on Oreo. But this is my opinion. In Antutu i have 205k using Performance mode on. Games are smooth, YT, Netflix, no problems.

  • Thank you. What about audio quality for headphones?

  • I am very concerned about the oreo update of this phone.. I was going to buy Nokia 8.1 but honor play got my attention.. Can any honor play user give their review of the phone and what problems are the users facing after pie update.. please reply soon

  • Everything other than speaker and camera is excellent i think. The speaker is clarity is good but the loudness is just ok. Btw the user experience on this device is quite terrible. I hv updated to android 9 but some bugs from emui 8 still exist.smh. Im considering to change to redmi note 7 pro if it has good speakers.

  • Hi...i confuse between honor 8x,iphone 7,honor play,asus zenfone max pro m2 and pocophone...which one better for long time use....want your opinion

  • Yes I own it. I have updated and I have no problem. I have the same experience except from eis on video.

  • Thanks for your feed back Chris, do own one? Should I just avoid updating it for now since there some bad reviews about android pie?

  • Go for it. It has perfect battery, screen, Kirin 970, audio jack, type c etc

  • Hi, ive been read some bad reviews on this phone especially with the android pie update? I was about to buy this like tomorrow, should I go ahead and buy it? how to avoid those issues? is it okay to just not update it to pie yet? thanks - im looking forward for its gaming performance since im a gamer, also the battery, quicky charging, screen, speakers, and camera. any tips? Thanks

  • yes there is

  • Btw i am using 185gt

  • Hey guys everytime i try to download a large file the download gets interupted cs it says waiting for network only when the screen is off but when the screen is active and i am switching between apps it downloads fine...

  • Is there the private space option in this phone like in mate 10 pro?

  • Hi, have you solved the issue? I have the same update... but only the video camera is bad, pictures are cool and battery last 2 days.

  • Game suit is there bro. It is as app asistant.

  • Hi guys i have a honor play and am currently using corl129 and emui 185gt and the phone overheats with stock charger so instead i am using a sony charger of 5 volt and 1.5 A..., (But the stock charger is that of 18 W) the power box for the sony charger heats up, the phone charges at a moderate speed and does not heat up unlike stock charger when using sony charger so is it safe to power down?.... i dont mind the quick charge and also i care more abt the phones life rather than that of the power box... tnx

  • Thank for the reply but i have turned that off and yet it updated itself to 185gt when i didnt want it to overnight without asking i have even disabled the app for now

  • I think its the same thing

  • I am good on oreo...!!!

  • honor has really bad cameras when it comes to video !!! at 720p you can't understand the writing on a paper .. WTF Huawei ?? it's 2018..

  • You can't slove this on your own so wait for new updates from Honor to fix all the issues, and make Honor play phones as best as it was earlier

  • the same for me, mine scored 15 thousand after the update.

  • Hai. Why dont you use the developer option. There was a setting for automatic uodate. Just turn it offand hope for the best. I am user of emui 8. Also dont want to update it. Heard it has too many issues. Perhaps the updates still not stable.

  • I love this device as an owner. It is a very very good package ;-)

  • I did that. In the contacts menu i can see the new background, but when i call to this person i can still see mountains...

  • So, all I'm reading here are negative stuff which make me wanna pass, even though I found it at 210-220 euros deal. Is it really that bad?

  • anyone facing a fingerprint issue? my fingerprint setting is missing and it wont recognize my saved fingerprint anymore or should i say its not even vibrating to tell me that my fingerptint is not recognized and that means fingerprint is not activated anymore.

  • Still no pie update

  • by default it always picks the mountain background..its not bad at all go to contact name..click on edit and change the background (pick any wallpaper or pic from ur gallery)

  • Is it possible to change this Dialer "mountain" background on Pie ? It is so ugly... Why it cannot be as it was on Oreo - transparent to wallpaper.

  • I have faced multitouch problem in my phone. I cant play any game for the multitouch problem..is it software prblm or hardware problem? Help

  • What software are you on?

  • On 9.0 I have a problem with calendar notification. I dont receive any notif. untill I unlock screen. Its like a system or batt app kill calendar ? Somebody else ...

  • Camera clarity is not that good when we compare with the phones you mentioned

  • Wait for new updates by Jan end so all the issues will be fixed

  • You should buy phone which will get always useful updates

  • can any user comment on the camera quality. IS IT COMPARABLE TO mia2 or Redmi note 6 Pro.

  • also emui is too heavy keeps half of ram always occupied

  • received android 9 yesterday phone lags..back button doesnt work sometimes no new features added (swipe to wake or double tap to wake) useless update

  • Sure, I'm sorry if that comments had some harsh outcome, I was just explaining how these OS update will go on the process till we receive it on our phones

  • Hey Bro , don't be so tough with the guy .

  • Some bugs in Pie update, most important to fix is EIS on camera! Maybe some battery optimization also.

  • Hi, I just bought a Unboxed honor play from 2gud for 14000/- today. Can u please comment on picture quality after pie update. Is it that bad as every YouTube says or is it ok

  • 15 minute video call its getting hotter

  • Are you aware that Q is yet to release and it's gonna release By this year end officially then the mobile company has to purchase the OS then apply the skin depending upon the model and requirements, then beta has has to be released for trail and error purpose later they may release after that still the bugs pretend later again full and officially version will be released, Cheese how crazy peoples are with out base knowledge they post some queries

  • Yesterday i got android 9 pie system update on my honor play... About 4.4 gb... I'm from india... It's really smooth... And i wish that honor's could update this phone in android Q soon...

  • Romin, Call Recording is not there in pie for Global version. At least I did not find it.

  • EIS will be added soon in next update and call recording is already there in Pie Update.

  • I have received notification of another 4GB of update. Waiting for any positive comments. Hehehe

  • I have the phone for around 4 months and yes it did some stuttering 1st month i bought it. So I have in mind that it could be those downloaded apps that I deleted that left some residual space. So what I did is do i factory reset and only downloaded the apps i needed. Now playing PUBG and get chicken dinner. Hehe

  • Recently brought the honor play.... Really good deal... Night mode is disappointing as expected... Autofocus is fine... Manual is preferred.. Eis works fine on oreo.. Performance is quite fast... A great upgrade from xperia m5 dual... Only thing i dont like is the lack of wide customization features on stock rom... Also the simple home needs a little more development... Felt the sony simple home ws much better

  • Hard reset will not add magicaly new option in camera app I believe ? :)

  • Brilliant, I hope they will add it :( On Polish Honor forum I have added the two videos comparision: From Oreo and Pie. And everybody says that movie from Oreo looks much more fine then from Pie. I was so happy to make a good quallity video with AIS - my happiness was only for one day :(

  • After sending Huawei support team a mail about the lack of Camera EIS on EMUI 9.0, they answered me to do a hard reset... Of course after the hard reset nothing changed...

  • Romin, Can you please let me know EIS and Call Recording feature will be available in next update in Asia Pacific (Global) device. Because new update already omit EIS, and Call recording also absent. no native video calling feature.

  • Anybody please tell me if this smartphone supports hdr video playing in youtube or not.

  • The device is not powerful as advertised, most games lag alot specially pubg which has a very noticable freezes specially when aiming with scope or being shot at, it suddenly freezes and it is not because of slow internet. If it was slow internet it would have lagged randomly not when always scoping and being shot at, does anyone else notice? Android oreo,4 gb ram

  • I have sent an e-mail to Huawei support to mention this situation about the EIS, in order to include the software in the next update.

  • how to calibrate battery?

  • Hi fren need ur help.. after update 9.0 (PIE) my battery drain so fast. after clear app running my ram only have 1.5gb...(Oreo still have 2.0gb++ after clear app). what should i do?

  • Hello Romin, One more thing I forgot to mention that in Battery Menu there is no "performance mode" Which I saw in the web and youtube video that New updates battery menu shows performance mode. Newly implemented feature. Will you please help?

  • Hello Romin, Thank you for your detail information and help. Actually I thought it is a bug because it shows previously and after update it disappear. I thought that it is a bug and second thing battery drain more then before i.e. in every night I recharge the phone 100% and schedule off the phone it is automatically switch on again in morning within 10 AM it decrease 3 % battery without any activities (not even touch the Phone). It shows 100% before update. I Calibrate the battery two day's before update. So, should I need again to Calibrate? Frequent Calibrate can reduce Battery life? Thank you

  • Calibrate your batery once then your battery will be fine.

  • There is no bugs in EMUI 9. Android 9 doesnt show Carrier name in status bar. why do you need that, you know that what network you are using.

  • Try this again. switch of your phone completely then wait for 5 minutes then press vol up & power key together at the same time for atleast 15 seconds then release both the key. you will get catch partition option there.

  • I have upgraded my honor play to android pie. It is shown in the about phone section that my android version is 9. But when I have tried to clear system catch without erase any data by pressing volume up & power button, I could not find that option for "wipe catch partition". Instead it shows a window with " software install failed! Get help from://www.emui.com/emotiondownload.php?mod=rest­­ore." And at the bottom of the window "Reboot system now". I have tried 4-5 times but I could not solve this.

  • Anyone else having issues accessing their ext sd card after the pie update? I can't seem to access it now when using other 3rd party apps (es file explorer, quickpik, etc.). I can access it however using the native files app, gallery, Google photos. Tried different sd cards and same problem. Even reformatted it.

  • searching the network mobile consuming battery honor play Is there any solution????

  • You can no longer watch hd videos on Netflix anymore widevine has changed in pie update

  • Dear Romin, Is there any official announcement regarding the EMUI 9 bugs. And will it fix by them shortly? Thank you

  • Mr. Ronim. Can you help me to solve my issue?

  • Full of heat while playing pubg on medium graphics... battery draining so fast.. waste no use of gpu turbo feature..and waste performance of Kirin 970 processer no good experience..no fast updates and bugs fixed..

  • no update of android 9 till now i'm from india

  • Hello Ramin, I did it perfectly but my carrier name dose appear in status bar. Although it should be appear as before. Settings are enable to show. but not showing.

  • I have upgraded my honor play to android pie. It is shown in the about phone section that my android version is 9. But when I have tried to clear system catch without erase any data by pressing volume up & power button, I could not find that option for "wipe catch partition". Instead it shows a window with " software install failed! Get help from://www.emui.com/emotiondownload.php?mod=rest­ore." And at the bottom of the window "Reboot system now". I have tried 4-5 times but I could not solve this.

  • The charging time for this phone has becomes longer after the update. Prior to the update it always charge 1%/min which would take 1 hour and a half to fully charge from 20% which is great. After the update however it becomes 1 min and 10 sec for 1%. Now it takes 1 hr and 45 min to charge..

  • No update for KSA till now

  • same caliber but honor will get advantage bcz of eye catching design and better performence.

  • No update Egypt

  • Go for it, don't worry it is safe to do that..

  • You dont need to recreate partition manually it will done automatically, you just need to clear catch partition only. then restart your phone.. after major update it is necessory to clear catch partition to behave your phone normally.

  • Thank you, After delete catch partition, how can I recreate this partition again. system dose not need catch partition? or it is not done by phone manager? or automatic system catch cleaner by any app? Your help is highly appreciated.

  • At the very beginning turn off the smartphone by holding the Power key for a few seconds, Then start pressing Volume Up and Power buttons together for a couple of seconds, Let go of all buttons when the HONOR logo appears, After that select "wipe Catch Partition". Use Volume buttons to navigate and the Power key to confirm that, At the end select "reboot system now" by using the Power key. Remeber don't select "wipe data/factory reset".. After wipe catch partition your problem will be solved. and it will not erase your any data.

  • Hello Romin, Thank you for the advise but I don't know how to clear system catch? Will you please help without erase any data.

  • Clear System Catch after Pie Update then restart.. all bugs and glitches will be clear.

  • After update emui 9 carrier name dose not show in status bar I have checked option where it is enable to show carrier name. So it is a bug. Any one can please check this feature?

  • so so confused between honor play and oppo f9 ... suggestions pleas guys :(

  • New android pie and EMUI 9 update. Device performance is very good although there is no EIS. May be that is hidden from the settings. some built in app are redesigned and some previous bug are fixed. I think honor developer team are working hard to give the update bug free with new good feature. Although this update has no native video call feature, No call recording feature (Which was suppose to add this update). I think they could not manage all those things in this update they will certainly update those feature for their customer of honor play. Thank you all of Honor device developer Team.

  • I have search the performance mode in Battery menu but there is no performance mode. Just like before power saving mode, ultra power saving mode etc.

  • is the update related to hicare or u get the update otherwise also

  • yes I got The Android Pie Update on 31.12.2018 around 9:00 pm i buy the phone at the time it launch form official honor web site & you got lots of surprise with android 9 now app launch faster about 50% performance improved also you got performance mode in battery manu but without active it you got very speedy performance i love the new pie update

  • I don't see any performance mode in Battery area. Where is that

  • Hi, I'm in the UK and have updated to Android Pie. Netflix and Amazon Prime used to play in HD and was on Widevine L1. Now it is on Widevine L3 and only plays them in SD. Can I revert back to Oreo or do I need to wait for them to fix it. Can anyone help?

  • has everyone received android 9 in india

  • Is this using in hand simply

  • I used it also a lot. But now it is gone :/ i hope it will back to us :)

  • What!!! Thats a real bummer i hope when i buy it it is still in emui8 cs eis is quite imp for me... Also i wanna buy honor cs its drop tests results were pretty good but all of those of poco were disappointing

  • Pie is great No battery draining issue.

  • what you mean by Charge time more then usual. and what about battery life? improved or drain fast?

  • Yes An Update is come with EMUI 9.0

  • Is just me Now my phone much hotter before update when playing aov / mlbb

  • I received the Android 9 update yesterday. Major change, which i don't agree with is the lack of "EIS stabilization" option in Camera software :( Is there any info, that they will add it again in next update ?

  • I had an update yesterday to Android 9.0.0 on my device. In Camera app there is no more "EIS stabilization" option to on/off. Why is that :( ? I am from Poland.

  • It's the pie Are you crazy

  • Few days ago I received a update of 3.9 gb, and its not pie. But I bought phone over 10 days ago, probably it was a massive cumulate update. I also wait a pie, but there are some users who receive update and seems to be a many different experience.

  • update of 4GB for android 9 ?

  • It is better not to update to Android pie because there are many bugs like the performance decrease. The antutu score on emui 8.2 was 200k but now on my emui 9, antutu decrease from 200k to 150k

  • Update is limited to 2000 user? cuz i cannot update it say 0/2000 and my update button is grey out cannot press it. My phone is malaysia variant

  • This Phone is more superior than any qualcomm 636, 660, even the Oppo F9 (mediatek P60) in terms of gaming performance. A 15k phone which performs like a Qualcomm 835 chipset but with optimized hardware and software.

  • I have no idea what you're smoking there buddy but I'm sorry to burst your bubble, they do support video calling so...

  • Huawei and Honor phones doesn't support Video calling, so while purchase think twice.

  • The Glass is not gorilla and its very fragile. I dropped the phone from 2 feet height and the glass shattered. This never happened with any of my phone. Does anyone know where to find a durable Bumper case for Honor Play which can protect glass screen.

  • After hard reset it is not working

  • Clear system catch after pie update your problem will be solved. because sometime its neccessory to clear catch after major update.

  • Yes You can Use third party launcher like Nova etc. i just updated pie and i m using Nova launcher. HP COR_Aloo

  • To those who updated to android 9, can you still use 3rd party launchers? What model is your HP? Thanks!

  • Don't update to PIE it has some cons bugs like charging time more despite quick Charging, and battery drains very very very fast, and some un necessary notification keeps on dropping in ur screen, which won't disappear even u push or turn off notifications, with out any reason WiFi turns off after you turn off volunteerly, Pros Superb speed no lags even for a nano second , great improvement UI Touch sensitivity amazing, Games are amazingly working effectively, u can't imagine the UI just unbeatable, camera software pic quality improved a lot better than ever Conclusion : one more updates which can improve cons then this will be an Phone of even 2019 first quarter

  • This phone is really awesome... I bought this phone yesterday... And i realised that i was wrong because previously i was buying asus zenfone max pro m2... Honor's play performance was really good... Display is awesome... Before I'm very afraid because this phone doesn't have gorilla glass protection... Doesn't matter... This glass is really good... Very tough... And superb build quality... It is heavy in weight but looks really premium... Camera and battery backup is average... Not poor but average... If you ignore this... Otherwise this phone is really awesome... In this price segment... I play pubg in HDR mode i didn't face any lag issue... Really awesome phone...

  • Can anyone tell me how does the emui compare to the stock android, coz i am just reluctant to switch to this phone for the emui. Is the emui very different and difficult to get adjusted to or not,??? Kindly provide insights... Thank in advance...

  • Guys all those asking about touch delay honor has officially confirmed that it will be solved in pie update(already stable update for beta user bas been released). Only deal braker js honor devices don't support 4g+ in india even though in other countries they do.

  • i'm using the Honor Play but i think F1 is better. more powerful chipset and screen has protection. the GPU Turbo in Honor Play is not that big deal, i used mate 10 pro which has the same chipset kirin 970 and it's performance was better.

  • in the next few weeks.

  • it is just a curved glass, which means there is no protection.

  • huwaei nova 3i or huwaei honor play in perfromance . design .. ram mangament .. quality .. etc ? and honor play still have the touch delay in the games specially PUBG ? it will solve or not ? thanks

  • I have this phone and it has multi touch delay. If you're playing any games like First Person Shooter Games (PUBGM, FortniteM & etc) it's sucks really bad while aiming or targeting due to freaking massive deadzone in it. The performance on this phone is superb and no problem at all only to have just software issues only.

  • i am a huge fan guys i love you all can you just make a video for the best gaming phones and i hope that the honor play is one of them

  • Hey guyzz I'm planning to buy this phone... This phone is perfect for me in all specs... Like camera, battery, performance, network speed, build quality... But I've only one problem that it's display or glass quality is good... There's no mention about its glass quality... It is durable as similar to gorilla glass 3... If yes please tell me guyz... And one more thing... How was it's brightness level in sunlight...

  • Yes, it still has the old app tray.

  • when will android 9 come ?

  • Between this and the Honor 8X which one comes out best in overall camera quality daytime or night time for both the front & rear cameras? Does the UX still have that old apps tray? Still no swipe up like the Pixelm to reveal the apps drawer?

  • Why does my Honor Play data connection is too slow unlike my Vivo V7? Same SIM card inserted.

  • Does GPU turbo is default for every Honor Play or in certain version ( I have 8.20.0.130 )

  • In pakistan

  • Pocophone F1 because it has the faster Adreno 630 GPU and it has better cameras.

  • Android P : 04/01/19

  • Guys I want to say to all indian honor play iser that honor play is not supporting carrier aggregation as it shows only 4g no 4g+. It does have support it is not supported with indian operator i request u guys also say this issue on their twitter and gmail so that we can enjoy better speed which is available on all other such as pocco f1 and even cheaper phone such as mia2

  • Mi A2.

  • Android p when will be release for honor play?

  • poco f1 or honor play?

  • Please advice,,, Is the Gpu turbo feature at honor play by default??? Or i must update the latest versions of update?

  • Pocophone f1 (6gb ram) or Honor play (4gb ram). They cost the same in europe

  • I would say Huawei honor play as.it has an Oct a core processor(4x 2.4GHhz,4x 1.8GHz)which is great for gaming.

  • Honor Play

  • Don:t worry multi touch issue and battery drain issue will be solved by pie udate which will be released by feb 1st week. Honor has officially confirmed it so just chill till then

  • Mine has no such issues

  • Well, my Honor Play doesn't have any such touch issue. You've had a bad unit, you can't say don't go for this phone cos of one bad experience. Mine is great

  • Huawei honor play (4gb ram) or xiaomi mi a2 (6gb ram) which is better for gaming, which has better rear camera, and which is better value for money (THEY COST THE SAME IN MY COUNTRY, EUROPE)

  • When will we get Android Pie??? Project Treble doesnt seem to give faster updates...

  • I can't choose between Xiaomi mi a2 (6gb ram, global version, Xiaomi mi 8 lite (6gb ram, global version), Honor play (4gb ram), Honor 8x (6gb ram). I like stock android, very good back camera, i want good but selfie camera, decent battery, good design, and probably the most important thing for me is gaming. So which has the best my values for money? Help please!

  • NFC is not there in India version.

  • Goto Phone Manager touch power saving->Optimize.Phone Manager will rapidly identify apps or features that are rapidly drainning the battery.Touch the Optimize button net to each or feartures to disable it and start saving power.You can touch Recover to re-enable the app or feature.When you remove an app from the protected apps list,your phone will close the app automatically when you turn off the screen to save batterry.

  • I think it doesn't work with 3rd party apps

  • the touch delay has been reported by many users. Despite that I just ordered one because there is nothing like this at this price segment (poco's build quality being real poor). Will the issue be resolved in the upcoming updates?

  • Go in developer mode and then decrease the speed of the animation scale

  • Totally agree with u.. There's a touch delay and I haven't find a solution how to fix it.

  • Trust me, it seems to be some issue with your phone. Please check it with the provider asap.

  • NFC is not there

  • Blue

  • Its worth the money. Go for it. Camera, battery life all good. Good for gaming.

  • Honor play Design Gaming Processor Good camera

  • Which color is mostly attractive on this phone?black blue or ultra violet?

  • Guys, i wanna buy this phone. How about its battery and camera performance? Exact time that it will lasts for 100-0%?does it has Huawei night mode or not?

  • Honor 10 or honor play

  • I switched from oneplus 5 to honor play.. And honestly this phone is not even close to oneplus in every aspect. . Better yet not even close to a gaming phone.. The touch sensitivity is horrible.. When im playing pubg, theres a touch delay which totally destroy the gaming experience.. My honest advice.. Dont go for this phone, find other alternatives..

  • Play has better specs

  • Honor 10 or honor play

  • Latest security patch?

  • it's not amoled, it's an ips lcd.

  • does it have 128GB storage variant in the philippines?

  • It is mentioned that, this device has NFC (Indian Version). But there is no NFC in this device. If there is NFC in this device? Please tell me how to enable it.

  • Why my honor play is only 4gb not 6gb here in philippines?

  • Yess i know But don't worry it's fast charge need 80 min from 0% to 95% And also it's Amoled not lcd same Honor play My ID is going to s8 for sure

  • does this phone work in the USA?

  • I think Honor play is much better than oppo f9 if you like something premium like the all metal design while in the f9, the back is made of plastic (poly caebonate i think) also honor play has better GPU and GPU turbo, the only thing that makes f9 better is the camera, but I think the honor play has a pretty reliable camera as well. the p20lite was a good midranger when it was first realeased but nowadays it's totally not worth it to buy p20lite. I recommend honor play.

  • Yes Samsung s8 is much better, but the s8 battery is very week and get empty very fast

  • honor play both have same price on amazon honor play has dual volte , fast charging, better processor, better battery u decide

  • Definitely not p20 lite

  • Which phone is better. Oppo F9 Huawei Honor Play Huawei P20 Lite Camera, Touch delay & Gaming wise . plz post your opinions

  • 18 Watt

  • 3 weeks ive been using this phone is got a small issue : 1. apps in the playstore cannot update. Every time i want to update any apps, i need to clear playstore apps data in the setting. 2.

  • Hi. There is such a problem in the honor play models, multi touch delay:

  • I don't think so

  • Yes, black bars will be there is the playing resolution is less den the screen resolution. Youtube can be zoomed in.. not netflix

  • Hi, I bought the Honor Play phone. Battery usage time is excellent. 1.5 days is very comfortable. The headphones did not come out of the box, but the silicone case came off. The resolution is very nice, the camera is very good, if you want to take night photos, you can make beautiful shots by fixing the phone. If you like the phone you can use it with one sim card + sdcard. You can also use the dual sim card if you want. My advice to those who want to buy the phone, definitely take it. You will be pleased.

  • What is the radiational SAR Value of Honor Play? Ok so radiational SAR value of Honor Play is 1.29 What is radiation and what can it do to you? Too high radiation can give you cancer What is mobile phone radiation? Mobile phone radiation is classified as non-ionizing. Non-ionizing radiation refers to a variety of electromagnetic radiation. In the simplest terms, this means that non-ionizing radiation only excites matter into another form of energy. It does not ionize molecules which can cause more harmful radiation effects. Other forms of non-ionizing radiation include microwave, radio waves and visible light. We cannot avoid those types of radiation and most of us cannot avoid mobile phone radiation. This is a type of radiation that we are exposed to daily. Is Honor Plays radiational SAR value safe? Yes, Its Value as said is 1.29. That is safe, deathly radiation is at 1.6 in EU and 2.0 in US. This phone has a lower radiation level than both so whereever you are in the world you are safe from cancer and other effects given form the Honor plays radiation SAR In short: You are SAFE if you buy Honor Play

  • Kindly explain in details about the SAR value about this Honor Play, how it's safe or unsafe to use.. what physical and technical this SAR value can do..

  • Bro, chill. Personally you should not care about that, but If you car SOOOO MUCH here: Honor play is SAFE, it has low radiation levels, its highest is 1.29 and lowest 0.8 Ww per kilogram and in all countries that is safe

  • No issue i play daily pubg for 3 to 4 hours

  • yes you will get p

  • YES pinch and zoom is supported

  • Hi . Why doesn't gsmarena state the SAR in the specifications ? The new list published by "Statista" is quite worrying . i would like to be able to compare the SAR before buying a new phone. thanks

  • when will i get android 9

  • Does this have black bars when watching youtube/netflix? And if so can you pinch to zoom

  • honor play ofc

  • Of course Honor Play. Honor play has: Better processor Better Battery USB C Lower price Onlything that 3i is better at is camera

  • Should I put off case before playing games?

  • which better and deserves to buy ..Honor play or A7 2018?

  • i'm from india when will i get android 9

  • Honor play design is good and thin. It to look better then thickness phoco f1.

  • Hi guys! Anyone experiencing issue during file transfer? Mine is taking too long to transfer a file from my honor play to an external hard drive using an OTG connector. 1 GB is taking hours to transfer also using Shareit app during transferring from my honor play to other phone.

  • Hi, China and India already have Pie for Honor Play, For rest of the world it should also come soon

  • I never said that Poco F1 is Bad(And I really dont mean it), I just said why I prefer Honor Play. In that post I covered all the Problems with Poco F1, but both Honor Play and Poco F1 have Problems as well as every other phone. I prefer Honor Play because in my case it has less probs. than Poco F1 and I just want to help people who want to see in what Honor Play is better than Poco F1. Oh, and also the Phone isn't all in the benchmark. Cheers, Landi!

  • when will android 9 come ?

  • play has fast charging, better processor go for it

  • Xiaomi did the same thing with the Pocophone experiment and, well, it did it better. The Pocophone, where available, is cheaper, yet more powerful, has better all-around camera experience, and more features such as stereo speakers and FM radio. bro stop spreading lies - honor play is a good device but never ever spread such lies or jokes such as these. You see that quote above? its GSMA's reviews not from a fanboy like you. guhh......

  • How many x camera zoom in?

  • Hi, Honor Play is better

  • Honor play or Honor 8x, both 4/64 GB

  • What is better in the Play?

  • Im torn between Play and Nova 3i Play - better processor, Better Processor and GPU, USB Type C ,larger battery capacity (3750) bonus:NFC Nova 3i - better camera, Larger ROM (128gb), better body (glass+metal) for a casual gamer as long as our games run on the device without issue that'll be good to go. so its more in getting the latest USB type C (fast charging), bigger ROM, or a bit of premium look. So witch do you guys prefer?

  • Anwser 1 Yes, it is bright enough Anwser 2 Both are very great. Honor Play has better preformance, just the Honor 10 feels premium in your hands. I prefer Play coz its cheaper and better

  • Your phone battery gets little pulses after it charges to 100% so it stays like that Thant Means that It is damaging to charge your phone overnight and this is Aproved from one battery lab (i forgot witch one) Also I will recommend that you start charging your phone on 10% and leave it charging until 90% You can read more on it here: Cheers, Landi!

  • Hello I recently buy a honor play sometimes i live my phone plug in for 4 hours like night time it is causing any damage to lipo battery

  • Question 1 Is the screen bright enough for sunny days? Question 2 This or the Honor 10

  • Hi, That has been resolved in the latest EMUI update

  • Your phone battery gets little pulses after it charges to 100% so it stays like that Thant Means that It is damaging to charge your phone overnight and this is Aproved from one battery lab (i forgot witch one) Also I will recommend that you start charging your phone on 10% and leave it charging until 90% You can read more on it here: Cheers, Landi!

  • its totally normal , phone stop charging when full so its ok to charge overnight.

  • Question 1 will the phone stop charging if the battery hits 100%? Question 2 Will the battery be damaged if i charged overnight?

  • Anwser 1 Charge your phone to 90% and start charging when your phone gets to 10% Anwser 2 Honor Play body is made of Metal UniBody

  • honor play

  • 1: The less your phones reaches low battery levels (20%-) the better. So you can also unplug at 100%. 2: Aluminum is a type of metal

  • Is there a 6GB RAM version for honor play ???

  • Nova 3i Or Honor Play ???

  • Hi There nyK, I never said that Poco F1 is Bad(And I really dont mean it), I just said why I prefer Honor Play.

  • Don't plug and play (Socket or Powerbank). Simple. All phone batteries gets deteriorated with that usage, Charging is for charging only alone. If I can have my Samsung Note II alive till this day then do what I do.

  • But Poco has screen bleeding and overheating issue after update. My brother has one and was bought a month ago, after the update his pubg gameplay is not on par to what it is like before and it overheats alot and even though he did not drop the phone at all it has a minor screen bleeding on the lower left which alarmed him because he had the same problem with his previous Samsung J7Pro where it spreaded if left unnoticed. So yeah... now he's stuck with a phone that will be broke in the long run but still playable gaming and everyday usage is still fine for now.

  • Ok in performance but honor play has a better camera, better processor and better design than pocophone f1 (when I say a better processor I mean AI and NPU (neuron process unit))

  • I bought this phone a month ago and without playing games (just surfing on Google), the battery lasts for two days. And with medium-sized games like Mortal Combat x or PUBG mobile (about 1-2 hours a day), the battery lasts 1 full day. All recommendations for this phone are perfect

  • Got the phone a week ago was going to get the Poco F1 but not disappointed the honor play is such a good phone it can play pubg on max settings and is very fast loading apps. Poco F1 doesn't have the rights for hd content through Netflix, made of plastic and has screen bleeding in the long term honor play will last longer

  • battery drains too fast even with minimum usage

  • I need to know about battery for use internet not games? Can be good for more than 1 day

  • Totally incorrect. The pocophone F1 is the superior phone. The benchmarks prove it.

  • hi guys there seems to be a blue tint at bottom of screen in my honor play.... its not too visible but its there... anyone else noticed it?

  • Ok thanks

  • Xiaomi MI 8 or Honor Play ?? help me guys

  • Hi, Battery isuues have been resolved in the latest EMUI uptate, now it lasts for more than a day. I have not noticed any overheating while playing intense games

  • Hi, Honor Play had a beta of EMUI and Android 9.0, but the official release will be soon

  • Just so you know there are problems with Poco F1 too And as well: >No bashing - deliberately and repeatedly bashing the same brand >No trolling - deliberately antagonizing other brand/model users If you don't follow the above rules, your post will be probably deleted.

  • Hi anonymus, This phone stays at 43 max when I play Asphalt 9 and Noone had this phone for even a year so noone can know does it last

  • B.T.W. When I installed the latest EMUI update the battery and it lasts for a whole day and a bit more (few hours)

  • Hi, I just wanna say that Honor Play is a better choice than the Poco F1 Why? -Before we start I want to say that These are reasons because I prefer Honor Play over the Poco F1. So lets start 1.Plastic, really Xiaomi? 2.Poco F1 has a problem with DRM (you cant watch netflix,hulu... in HD) 3.I found Poco F1 Heating more than Honor Play on intensive gaming sessions 4.I you ask me Honor Play has a better camera (Rear), I find the front one the same quality on both phones 5.Honor Play Has a smaller notch and smaller chin(More screen better the phone) 6.Honor Play Has a Bigger display, higher resolution, ppi and screen to body ratio 7.Not OK GOOGLE (Poco F1 lacks a support for Ok, Google) 8.Difficult to use multi touch in games on Poco F1 ...Ok, I have killed Poco F1 but we have just few more to go 9.In PUBG volume buttons break when you switch to mic on Poco F1 10.Poco F1 has Asymmetric Corners 11.Does not support Asphalt 8 OR 9 12.Because of that HUGE notch, there is no notification icons in the status bar So that is it, my opinions on why to buy Honor Play over the Poco F1, I ain't saying that its bad I am just saying that Honor Play is a bit better.And I have My Honor Play for 5 days and I have no problems with it! Cheers, Landi!

  • who said that i have poco and have no problem with that. i played pubg 2 hours ago too. everyone knows poco is better than honor play in every aspect like graphic and batterylife

  • Does this phone heat like mate 10 lite when playing asphalt 9? Does this phone last for 2 or 3 years? Please answer thanks

  • Me too. I have been using the phone for 1 month only and I have no idea why it dies so fast

  • Battery seems to die fast despite the fact that it has 3750 mah. Also the phone becomes hot when playing games. Purple is sexy and honor play>Nova 3i

  • Hi, just want to know if this phone use gorilla glass on its screen? And what type of glass does it used?

  • defenitly ''honr play '' bro...it's about the same price but trust me when i say that this phone is better then ''nova 3i'' in almost everry thing..

  • No :-( I am fr)

  • Hi, Anyone got Android 9 Pie update for Honor Play?

  • Poco has intense touch latency issues that makes gaming like PUBG impossible

  • It has super battery life due to 10nm processor which consume less power to process the task and device is well optimized to perform well. those who are considering to buy go for it otherwise pocohone f1 is also great choice if you like Xaiomi.

  • i have a Honor play .. COR-L29 8.2.0.102(C185) .. EMUI 8.2 when i go to system update . its refreshing and after a few secend its jump out please help me.. tnx

  • HI bro, If u r using pubg in Extreme frame rate battery drains fast ... If u use smooth and medium frame rate works fine.... Try oonce..

  • Agree with u..im using honor 8x also got problem battery drain hell if im playing pubg..my huawei nova 2i got small capacity battery is more better when playing pubg..and im had been using nova 2i about 1 year already..

  • Do you confirm (NFC) support for this mobile phone? some of the technical sites do not confirm (NFC) for this model. Does it have special sign to discover ?

  • Your Honor Play COR-L29 have any default call recording option abilable ? I also bought a new phone from Saudi Arabia but no call recording option abilable yet.

  • Honor Play COR-L29 8.2.0.131 (C185GT) Global version support default Call Recording option ? I bought this phone from Saudi Arabia but no call recording option abilable. Also third-party software is not working properly.

  • The Honor Play is a good phone and it is worth its money Pros Excellent display. Fast processor Sleek design cost Range is affordable Cons If you use to watch video and play music the mobile get moderately heated Designer should look into this

  • i think its ok.. but heat when i play game

  • honor play of course, it is way more powerful and comes with supercharge -nova 3i only has looks and is stuck with microusb

  • honor play or nova 3i?

  • Using 3.5 MM jack sound quality is awesome.

  • Honor Play

  • Honor Play

  • My battery is okay and does not drain overnight. My phone does not heat up when charging because I do not use and abuse it while charging. My normal SOT is 7 hours when gaming. If I just do browsing, fb and youtube, will last me for more than a day.

  • honor play

  • Honor play or Samsung j5 2017

  • But clarity is far better than any other phone in this price range.

  • Sound IS very low low

  • Any news about android pie update for honor play?

  • So far no issue for me. Just update to 8.2.0.133 yesterday night. Normal usage, take picture, whatsapp, surf intenet, hotspot a while, using handfree to listen music, total around 8 hours usage, still have 58% battery life.

  • The battery is dropping off as very fast.. How it can resolved.? Any suggestions pls

  • Guys im planning to buy this phone tomorrow is this phone still worth it? im having a problem with the opinions of people since 50 says battery dies too fast and the other 50 says battery is fine. Can i please ask which is which? since the battery is a very big deal. Thanks

  • Plz tell me about it's head phone sound quality?

  • great phone, great battery life - i get 48 hours out of it with moderate use 100-0%(web browsing for about 1-2 hours each day, few texts here and there)

  • Do you have any touch latency or touch delay on this phone? I just bought it today and I'm having the problem while playing pubg mobile. I'm planning tu return the phone if its hardware problem. Please help me!😭

  • DON'T BUY HONOR PLAY. Worst Battery. Its draining over a night. Sometimes unable to swipe to receive calls. Network band has issues. Heats up while on charge. Mainly its not at all gaming phone. I Played PUGB and guess what, Battery drains like hell. Total Waste of Money. When I went to their customer center, they replied "It happens in all phones, If you want us to check your for then submit your phone here for 4-5 days".

  • Got this phone cos at the price its the only one with NFC, USB-C, notch and fast processor. The only hate point is the power button is below the volume buttons. A few times a day i hit the power button when trying to volume down. that's dumb. everything else is great, smooth great screen, camera quality is actually better than average. tell me what 100-200USD more gets you..AMOLED? no headphone jack? no notch - dumb as just use a black wallpaper and u have essentially a borderless phone. A little faster processor? slightly better cameras? really worth 200bucks more?

  • GPS is fine I use it all the time im a truck driver

  • It's support direct video call ??

  • Is it player edition?? And what is the build version???

  • COR-L29 is global version

  • I'm facing large battery draining problem on my honor play player edition after updated to 8.2.0.130 (C636GT). What is your version??

  • What is your build version?? I'm also facing this problem after updated to 8.2.0.130(C636GT)

  • Hi,,, I'm using honor play player edition COR-L29 last 7 days.5 days ago I got a system software update.then I updated my device.now updated to new version 8.2.0.130(C636GT). Now the battery backup is very bad. I want to fix this problem immediately.please give me a solution...... Thank u all....

  • any chance of getting double tap or swipe to wake function in next update

  • i am about to buy this phone but i read that its GPS is not most accurate. Do you have any experiences with that?

  • no

  • Does the Honor Play have an IR function.

  • reset once

  • Having batter draining issue... Discharging even not in use overnight.

  • honor play. supercharge and better durability

  • Nova 3. You'll get a better camera.

  • iphone xs max 512gb

  • Yes. Absolutely u play fortnite.

  • How to use jio sim how to make a calls

  • Guys please help me .. honor play or nova 3???

  • yes it has

  • You can change notch to normal screen in notch settings.

  • I dont know why manufacturers are following apple notch design. It really bad for me. I have honor play and that notch is vety annoying for me.

  • They are adequately loud but just don't expect audiophile level audio performance. You need to get a LG V30 or a G7 for that. Both Honor Play and Honor View 10 uses the same HiSilicon audio codec.

  • Are the headphones volume loud or not?

  • My views are mostly inline with yours. In India at Amazon the Honor Play 6/64 GB retails for INR 24K and Honor View 10 6/128 GB for INR 25K. I got the View 10 over Play because of the following reasons: 1) The display of View 10 is truly flagship grade, much better than Honor Play. It has better color rendering, higher brightness & more contrast. Both are 1080p LCD panels however the View 10 is a 6 inch 18:9 non-notch design while Play comes in 6.3 inch 19.5:9 with notch. For gaming definitely View 10 is my pick, gaming phones from Razor, Asus do not have a notch. Even though Play has a slightly taller display, View 10 display is 1mm wider, so ultimately the characters are slightly bigger in View 10 which is a plus. 2) View 10 have 128 gigs of UFS 2.1 flash storage which is 64 gigs more than Honor Play. Both have expandable memory options. 3) The camera in View 10 is leagues ahead than Play be it main camera or selfie. After all View 10 was Honor's flagship built to challenge OnePlus 5T on the open. EIS & AIS video & image stabilization is available on both phones. After comparing the camera samples of my View 10 with my freind's Honor Play, I will say the Play's camera is sub par and belong to the INR 12K price category. 4) Both phones now ship with GPU Turbo technology and have Kirin 970 onboard. 5) Both phones will receive Android Pie from Honor in the future. 6) Both have same 3750 mAH battery. In the end it feels like Huawei's marketing team gave Honor Play development team an objective to create cut down version of View 10 so that they can launch a new phone with lower price & GPU Turbo hype.

  • knew? or using it?

  • Can I play Fortnite on the phone?

  • Yes...the global version COR-L29

  • No FM radio on COR-l29 don't know about other version.

  • What about fm radio?

  • yes

  • I like this phone so much. I became fan of this phone since I knew about it.

  • does the 4 gb ram works excellent?

  • Does honor play special edition backcover is a metal??

  • Hi, I m using this phone for last 15-20 days now and i loved the phone. Its an amazing device. I m happy with camera and the phones performance. But i m facing battery drain issue. The battery is draining very fast i read on huawei forum many users have posted about battery drain issue but no body got any thing usefull there so if any one here faced battery drain issue and knows how to fix it then please tell. Thanks.

  • I have my s9+ and this honor play as my secondary phone. So far the performance of honor is good. One thing i dont like is the camera. Its not good. Its like camera from 2014. Performance its good,on par on the sgs8. The phone is very light also fits perfectly in my hand, unlike the s9+,it hurts my hands after sometime of use. Ons more i dont like about the honor play is the weak speaker compared to my sgs9+. Overall I am happy with the honor play. I almost bought the honor 8x and I realized the price difference is too small for me to give up the kirin 970, fast charge capability and better build quality. If you want to buy the poco I suggest go with the honor play instead of the poco f1. If you are into pure gaming go for poco. But if you want a good looking phone with balanced built of looks, performance and quality, go for the honor play, otherwise go for nova 3 for 100 bucks more if you want to add camera performance on the package, for me i didnt consider the camera since i have s9s9+ already.

  • Best phone super fast Awsome battery and fast charging Decent camera Great gaming performance overall flagship device in budget price

  • Yup bright screen and good headphone output

  • BTW you have stablization in this mobile

  • There is no stabilization in every huawei honor this price range. This is the most important feature. But nokia has in this price range i dont know why huawei doesn't work on it

  • Will this phone be a good choice for media consumer?

  • no touch delay experienced so far, having a lot of fun with pubg and ml. good battery.

  • is your honor play player edition doesnt have a problem about touch delay!!??

  • mine works fine on smart lte try updating via software update

  • I just bought Honor Play yesterday and I'm experiencing very weak and poor DATA signal. I didn't experience this before on my previous phone with the same network provider (GLOBE LTE SIM). I cannot play Mobile Legends or Arena of Valor because of the unstable data connection. I've seen a lot of complains like this. Please help thanks.

  • i'm using this mobile since 3 days everything is perfect (fingerprint is super fast), touch response is great double tap feature is missing, i think they should add it

  • no, it doesn't coz this phone is not gonna support for USA standard bandwidth

  • Will/Does Honor Play support U.S. telephone carriers?

  • realease date in nepal ?

  • when is the player edition coming to India?

  • Honor View 10 is an one year old. have only 5.99" screen. Yet his price is 30 percent higher. A simple search and comparison between the devices will show clearly that You do not have to buy the Honor View 10!

  • Honor Play is all about Kirin 970 SoC for the masses. A wise guy will buy the Honor View 10 over Honor Play provided both are available for the same prices. View 10 was Honor's flagship device that competed head on with One Plus 5T.

  • Yes, 480fps

  • Yes

  • This phone so fantastic, very good phone to play game, music, video, camera also the battery long lasting.. The most i like is fast battery charging.. No lagging ever.. Best phone ever.. Tq honor play i love this phone..

  • does honor play support slowmo video recording??

  • sar value?

  • Not the best, although I don't know much about cameras

  • I have been using the phone since more than a month now, and no battery problems at all. I have no complaints with the phone.

  • What about the camera please ??

  • which is better poco or honor play

  • I suggest to go with the 6GB ram if you 'search' in your phone and is used to opening many tabs at a time :)

  • Not good compared to any other mobile...if u are a music lover...drop the idea of buying this Honor play.

  • Thanks Umair

  • Thanks Amay

  • It means whatsapp group msg in

  • No lag at all in PUBG at HDR and Ultra Frame Rate settings. I'm using the 6 GB variant and multi tasking is fast and buttery smooth.

  • I love this phone, battery lasts very long

  • Honor play is dam awsome for gameing.... Bantry backup is very good... Even n high graphis... Mormal heating

  • Anyone who have tested this with high resolution games? (Lineage 2, Talion, PUBG, ML, AOV, Tekken, Need For Speed, etc.) how does it fare specially in full high settings? Does it lag specially when doing multitasking? Thanks!

  • Anyone who have tested this with high resolution games? (Lineage 2, Talion, PUBG, ML, AOV, Tekken, Need For Speed, etc.) how does it fare specially in full high settings? Does it lag specially when doing multitasking? Thanks!

  • Honor play support double tab to wake and led notfication light?

  • Why can't I send a group text? How to do it?

  • no it will not interrupt during game if u enable gaming mood ..

  • Yeah it's called game suite

  • Is the player edition coming in India???

  • my question does it have any major issue will it get regular updates i dont play games , will it be a good choice over poco ?

  • Hi, as I just wanted to ask if Honor Play has an option for Game Mode for example while you're playing Mobile Legends or PUBG, but you're in game mode it will interrupt the calls and etc just like Oppo F9 and Vivo V11 for example. Any chances? Many thanks.

  • No the Honor Play camera isn't bad. Look at my images taken with it, you have no idea

  • Keep Nokia 8. Nokia 8 is a flagship phone whereas Honor play is a midrange phone with only a flagship cpu,gpu. Nokia 8's Snapdragon 835 with pure android is slightly better then Honor play's Kirin 970 in performance.

  • Pocolasticphone f1 has screen bleeding, ghost touch, and more issues but if you're serious gamer go for pocolasticphone f1 if you're not serious gamer go for honor play

  • Hi guys honor play is better or oppo f9? regarding overall quality and use.Thanks

  • its my opinion at Rs 19999 its a bit expensive considering that poco f1 is close (it should have been Rs 17500) y will anyone save Rs 1000 and not buy poco poco offers 6 GB of ram within same price face unlock is better snapdragon 845 is better than kirin 970 (both flagship processor) although honor play has metal body n looks gorgeous.

  • honor totally battery back waste

  • Brought it just now, looking Sharp and nice. No complain still now

  • It is very bad that Honor Play is not having group messaging.....Google should send updates for this otherwise Honor will destroy it's market.

  • Never ever buy a lg g6.. worst phone ever...

  • Camera is very bad personal experience. But design looks Awesome.

  • honor play

  • guys please help me. which mobile to buy LG G6 or Honor Play?? I am confused.

  • Honor play is the best. I have also 6gb varient. It's looking good than honor play

  • honor play because very good performance less cons ram speed is very good than poco f1

  • I planned to buy miA2 ... but after knowing About Honor Play .. I just put my attantation on this.... Can i know will it be protective for screen?... Coz I heard honor play dosent have Gorilla Display... Actually I don't know much abt Mobiles... Except gaming... is this Phone Worth ? ..

  • i heard that the xiaomi pocophone F1 have some problem with its UI and ghosting issue while honor play is better for gaming because it have a feature called gpu boost which increase fps count when gaming while uses 30% lesser battery usage when gaming. The gpu boost currently only available on PUBG M and Mobile legend but in the future it will increase to allow more games.

  • i'm a normal user (no gaming) which one is better value for money poco (845) or honor play (970) since the price r almost same

  • No the Honor Play is cheaper phone. And the glass is fine mine is solid no scratches

  • No it doesn't as I own one

  • For gaming and normal use,Honor play or Pocophone f1 ,suitable/better?

  • does honor play having heating issues?

  • It actually does a really good job with protecting the phone. But, I don't take chances with any case so I always recommend buying a screen guard.

  • Honor Play is better for gaming. (Kirin 970 chipset) Nova 3i has better looks, but is not good enough for gaming. (Kirin 710 chipset) Nova 3i has better camera features also.

  • Will the provided case protect the screen? I feel like the front egdes aren't raised enough.

  • it will get P for sure, its confirmed. About the Q I dont know, its most likely it will get it since its a flagship.

  • Will honor play get android P and Q OS updates?

  • Will honor play get android P and Q OS updates?

  • Honor play is better for gaming

  • Then Purchase Poco phone whats the problem but still honor play is best ..m using honor play

  • Honor play or Lg v30+?Whic can ı buy for gaming. Sorry for my bad english...

  • Anyone know when this phone will get the AIS (Artificial Image Stabilization) update that they talked about in launch ??? It should improve camera low light performance a lot !!

  • thanks bro. have you updated the phone? and how is its gaming and ram management? does it heat during gaming after just few minutes?

  • I am confused. Please guide. Nove3i is better or Honor Play? Suggest me.

  • Proof? Because someone in the comments said it scratches easily

  • Easy bro it has aluminum silicate glass protection in the display, it's like a gorilla glass 3.5 or 4

  • Many Thanks

  • What the heck !!! Why there is no Gorilla Glass protection ? Pocofone is cheaper than this but still had a gorilla glass protection and better processor !!

  • Right now i have used my phone for 2 days with normal use with no gaming and still 17% is left

  • No disadvantage i beleive i have used for a month i also checked nova 3i and found honor play much better in quality

  • I bought this phone from rawalpindi pakistan and have used it for about a month and believe me this phone is brilliant with excellent build quality and fast speed with very good battery and display is super.

  • Is it has NFC in Indian version ?

  • Better Chip set , in Honor play which can enhance effortlessly with Android PIE

  • don't go for poco f1. Buy honor play. I am using this and this is far better than poco f1. I am playing all games in high setting without any lags. I only face problem while playing PUBG but only due to PUBG server problem. So better go for honor play.

  • Please what are DISadantages of honor Play? I confused between Nova 3i and honor Play ?

  • go for play

  • i have also faced this problem! but in night it will dran upto 10%

  • Using Honor Play very smooth in gaming and has a good AI camera, just wait for the EMUI 9 update w/ GPU turbo 2 for faster gaming experience. :)

  • Guys i have heard that there is battery drain issue and lag in games after the latest update on Honor Play. Please advise. I'm very much interested in buying this phone. Or is Poco F1 better option?

  • Battery is 1.5-2 days with moderate use.

  • There is no FM radio unfortunately in the UAE version

  • hello, any chances to see here the specifications for Global COR-L29 please ? thank you in advance

  • UAE version have fm radio?

  • Which is better nova 3i or honor play? thanks

  • The price is much more😣

  • Bro I brought it from UAE too and same price. could you please let me know how is the battery backup of your phone..Thanks

  • Sorry to say, I am totally unsatisfied. I brought it not because of games. just for good battery backup. but it made me sad. battery drain like crazy!!! After full charge 2 hours YouTube eaten 50% charge!!! I don't know is this normal for that phone or not? and yes my device got NFC.

  • Got this beauty from the UAE and I saw a few difference from the indian version, it has NFC and includes headphone in the box as well as a gift voucher for games worth 1200$ other than that can't say much didn't use it yet, will get back write my observations after using the phone.

  • Please my brother What about the following Cameras ? Heating ? Display in direct sunlight ? Battery ? & its charging time ? Materials feeling ? Feeling too cheap or not ? Coz I have galaxy s5 since more than three years & it is plastic but still like a new with me Do you facing any other problems with the phone ?

  • Is there a slo-mo video shooting?

  • not all xiaomi phone have screen bleeding K!!

  • Just a phone called Honor Play

  • Can someone tell me how this phone has a bigger display than the honor view 10, with the same cpu and battery size, but gets 20 hours better on gsmarena's battery endurance test? What am I missing?

  • it's about optimization on software level (like games on iOS. .not just HW but also compability with SW) then u get more stable FPS (stable not faster) *there's a lot GPU Turbo test on youtube btw

  • I bought this phone a month ago and I am liking it except one thing the screen. I think the screen scratches too easily compared to my sisters s9 (yeah I know it's more expensive and premium phone). It's got a lot of tiny scratches and few bigger ones.

  • I have bought this phone and used it for a month and can confidently say the following: I don't need a microSD card. I have 64GB of memory inbuilt and USB OTG is available on this phone as well, so I have no issues with memory and I can use 2 SIM cards perfectly. There is an LED indicator. It is built into the earpiece. It works fine. Also, the camera is decent. Just bare aperture specs don't mean anything. The camera module along with the phone software combine to make a good picture and you cannot use one without the other. Okay, low light is not the best on this phone, but considering the improvements in other areas such as RAM management and chipset and build quality, every phone has to have a bad point. No phone is perfect. The battery is really good too. A battery need not be removable to be good. It can be good when it is nicely packed into the phone too. It has 3750mAh battery and 18W fast charging and I usually get a full day of usage on 1 charge, with games and apps and so on.

  • Of screen like samsung ay plus etc

  • Should I buy honor play or should keep nokia 8. Which one is better?

  • Its doesnt have any of them.

  • As soon as the market gets down for 4GB and 6 GB variant they'll release it in red to keep the momentum in tandem

  • allright, ok then :D

  • fyi, it can also shoot 1080p60fps video with the main camera, too bad it just doesn't have image stabilization, the 2160p video recording also doesn't have image stabilization. Image stabilization is only supported in 1080p30fps. Selfie camera also has image stabilization.

  • Yes, Honor Play Support NFC

  • honor play is a good phone but I need to know when the red edition will be available

  • Does honor play support fm radio and double tab to wake?

  • don't mess with poco bro poco does have plastic...but if poco fall it will not have dint as its plastic unlike aluminum frame or glass...and lets just say ok your honor will last for a years but i can't keep up any longer with the new apps update unlike poco lets says poco got old but dang the performance will be the same after a years...

  • if u want a good game and graphics always go adreno gpu...mali is good but not good as adreno gpu...

  • i got poco f1 128gb internal blue and it has no screen bleeding issue i guess im lucky...and the phone is indeed awesome for the price...

  • So you got 3points to figure it out since it's launch, for not purchasing, Good

  • YES it does

  • What is this joke??? It has dual sim but you will use sim 2 for memory card, its mean it doesn't have thrice card slots!!!!! It hasn't impressive camera i.e. so called 16 MP with only f/2.2 rather than 1.5, 1.2 or so and PDAF 2 MP with f/2.4, depth sensor ha ha ha funny. No indication light installed in it!! Battery is good enough use non-removable. So decision is yours!!

  • Bought this phone a few days ago, very happy with it so far, super responsive with no lag while navigating, easy to use, great screen, finger print scanner is really fast. On to the battery, well at first i thought it was going to be awful, charged it up to 100% when it arrived and after 2-3 hours i was at 50% with very little use. However the remaining 50% lasted over 12 hours, not sure why this is but it does just fine. gaming can be stuttery a bit in games like PUBG but nothing major all other games i have tried have run really well. all in all it's a great piece of tech.

  • I bought it in Greece, model is COR-L29 and it has NFC and L1

  • Dont worry.... Honor play hv asome bantry back up..

  • wow great phone. ceb1

  • Pocophone has the best camera

  • Just a gimmick. Don't be fooled :D

  • doesn't matter as long as it does not affect the phone's performance. Still Honor Play cant keep up Poco LOL

  • Screen bleeding issue on poco f1 is terribly annoying. Idk whats wrong with all xiaomi displays but one thing is clear they are awful af
