Honor Play 3 - User Reviews

  • I would like one of this for my young daughter, but I wish it was dedicated memory slot phone.

  • Even if it costs 15% more but has USB C and 1080p display... Would be a great device to get

  • 720p screen.. Hehehe Micro usb.. Wahaha How amusing Honor Unless they will announced a Pro version then this is just an unjustified d*ck move.

  • Micro USB, 8MP front camera, hybrid sim slot, without EIS/OIS, 720p display are not appreciate.

  • Yeah but that's not as good of a launch as the Honor Play. The Kirin 970 was Huawei's best chip at the time. The Kirin 810, isn't.

  • oh man its really hapenning a phone with kirin 710f + 48mP CAMERA NO FINGERPRINT NO LED NOTIFICATION NO TYPE C NO NFC....doesnt matter too much but fingerprint its too matter for 148$ phone AT LEAST MUST SPORTED WITH A-SIDE MOUNTED (but really no finger....tooooo weired ) 148$ too much realme q 165$ will drop its starting redmi note 8 also 164$ its starting price will drop

  • You are right. However, they are launching Honor 20s with better display and hardware, wait for that. They could have name it as Honor Play 3.

  • even redmi 8a have usb-c

  • Dang they really butchered the Honor Play line I see. It's not a terrible phone for the price, but the original Honor Play had a Kirin 970 (Huawei's best at the time) and a 1080p display for $250. Sad.

  • No, but there was honor 4 play before honor play 1. Hope, honor play 2 will come next year.

  • Has there been an Honor Play 2?

  • hd+ is no.. no 1080p YouTube playback. 👎👎

  • realme Q redmi note 8 mi A3 (cc9e) all of these are competitor of play 3

  • How honor play can be better than honor play 3 ☹️ First seen I had thought to upgrade..

  • i went for the Realme Q, its a better option

  • it is near power button

  • it is near power button

  • Looks nice, very nice what is the caaaaaaaaaatch OH MY GAWD that hole punch! O3O

  • Good phone But no figures print sensor

  • if we want to compare it with new phones @ same ptice range i mean 140$ this phone have two powerful competitors

  • instead of android 9 if they give android 10 then this could be HOT selling smartphone of year

  • Play is most advanced than Play 3 worst processer and GPU I think it was the fake neews

  • why not dedicated memory card slot with dual sim Why Why Why?????

  • good device but i'll buy it if it come with notification led & Type C & fingerprint(i think they put it in side, just like honor 9x)

  • in this lower midrange and midrange phone i guess xiaomi will got all the market this year on this range

  • Front camera should be 13mp or above...i am the lover of honor and huawie but at that time i really disappointed due to camera

  • They better make a Pro version of this, because even though it's cheap, this isn't what people are expecting of the new Honor Play. Honor Plays are supposed to be cheap and powerful, using last gens flagship CPU. This seems decent, nontheless, tho that 720p screen is a no no for me.

  • probably its a-side mounted fingerprint about type c : even redmi note 7 have type c

  • It's a front finger print

  • Rather get Vivo Z1Pro.

  • This isn't the successor of the honor play gaming phone, i suppose to believe.

  • when they put a 48MP camera but not a fingerprint sensor

  • make it lower than 154mm, 20Mp or even 16Mp selfie cam, dedicated sd card, 4/32 version for 120$ /////USB TYPE C\\\\\\///////USB TYPE C\\\\\\\ EVEN Redmi note 8 with 140$ pricing have /////USB TYPE C\\\\

  • Micro usb??? Honor play usb type c

  • I know I've had honor 10 for 3 months and had to have the screen replaced twice not cuz of scratches but big cracks,I'm gunna trade it in for a Nokia or Motorola with Android one and gorrilla glass,don't even know if I'll get Android 10

  • Just buy a Mi A3 its got better display than this phone and better build quality too.

  • Recent midrange Huawei/Honor don't have Gorilla Glass, not even on the display, they scratch out of the blue. I was a big Huawei fan until I found this out. I had Gorilla Glass 3 phones and never got a scratch, even if they were sometimes put in a pocket with hard steel keys. My 8X got scratched in my pocket even with a coin made out of soft alloy and with rounded edges. Hell, it even got scratched if put face-down on dusty surfaces for a minute.

  • Manufacturers in 2014: Come on, you need 4K, I know it's only 5.5'', but it makes a difference, 1080p is too little. Manufacturers in 2019: What do you need an 1080p for? Draining the battery? 720p is just perfect, even on a 6.4''. In my opinion, nothing under 1080p or over 1440p makes any sense.

  • HD+ SCREEN will keep more battery just like MI A3 ( CC9E ) but for gamer its not good choice

  • its not high specs its kirin 710 this is honor play 3c upcoming model honor play 3i will come with kirin 970 both have 4000mah another new honor play 5.71 inch will come with 2920mah and lacks of fingerprint

  • so wired 48mp and high spec but only HD screen??

  • another 720p in 3rd Q 2019? a huge thumbs down lmaoo

  • another huawei phone with an overused 710 chip in many other of her phones an hd screen some rumor suggest no gorilla glass on the back if they put it for 180 and less its ok but any more then these price is not worth it
