Android version and market relevance

In December 2021 Honor company introduced its new smartphone Honor Play 30 Plus. This is a new model with support for two SIM cards and 5G-network, which is running on 11.

If you think that for today such an android smartphone on the version 11 already outdated, then we advise you to look DROID-smartphones in our directory, where we collected a list of devices on the latest version of Android.

Screen, body and battery

Very capacious Honor Play 30 Plus battery received a volume of 5 000 mAh. In this case, the smartphone has huge touchscreen IPS LCD with diagonal 6.74″ and with refresh rate 90 Hz. As it is now fashionable in smartphone design, this model also received a drop-shaped cutout above the screen. And besides, the front panel is 80-90% occupied by the touchscreen.

The thickness of such a body with a screen from edge to edge is 8.6 mm. This is a very thick case, we advise you to look in our catalog smartphones with thin cases, which fit comfortably in your hand.

Main camera and selfie camera

The smartphone Honor Play 30 Plus has two cameras: main camera (13 MP Wide + 2 MP Depth sensor) and front-camera (5 MP Wide). If you look at the quality of the photo of the main camera, then it will be medium-quality photos and videos.

In addition, the main camera has a feature, namely an additional module. It is better to judge about the advantages and disadvantages of several lenses in one smartphone, as well as about the possibilities of software image enhancement, by real photos and videos taken with such a camera. Therefore, be sure to look at all the photos of the Honor Play 30 Plus on this page in order to draw your conclusion on whether this is a good camera or not.

In this smartphone, the front camera is located as usual at the top of the screen, like in 99.9% of other models. We have collected smartphones with pop-up front camera in the catalog that may seem much more interesting to you. In these models, there are practically no frames around the screen, because the front camera is located inside the case and does not take up space above the screen. The selfie camera only pops up when you activate the front camera mode. Take a photo or video, exit the Camera application. And after that, the socket with the front camera drives into the body. Real engineering magic!

Processor and Internal Memory

After a lot of leaks, we now know all characteristics of the Honor Play 30 Plus. The smartphone received 8-core processor on the chipset MediaTek Dimensity 700 5G (7 nm). RAM is built-in 4 GB and there is a version of 8 GB.

But the most interesting is the built-in memory of 128 GB. This is the only option that is produced by the manufacturer. Looking for memory cards? There is a special slot for card format microSDXC.

Price for Honor Play 30 Plus: buy or not to buy?

$170 is the price for Honor Play 30 Plus at the start of sales. For this money you get a smartphone with a fast processor, a huge touch screen, with a very good main camera, and with a conventional front camera. And with such characteristics, the smartphone got into the price segment “Affordable smartphones from $100 to $200”, where you can choose any other similar model for a same price.

And how important is the battery capacity in your smartphone? Here is the case that it is in Honor Play 30 Plus that a very powerful battery is installed. And, if you need a smartphone with a very long mode of operation from one battery charge, then we recommend looking at this model, or similar smartphones with a powerful battery.

Honor Play 30 Plus will be available after the beginning of official sales. We always recommend that you look at the smartphone before you buy it to make sure that it fits you in all respects — screen size, case materials and build quality, speed and smoothness of the interface, photo and video quality, etc. After you choose a model, then you already look at the different offers from the sellers — you can buy it on the Internet or in the offline electronics supermarket. Buy where you prefer, where there are stocks and discounts, and where the seller guarantees the service of the device under warranty.
