NeoTeo's verdict
Which of the two is the better buy
The Honor Play 60A is the choice for performance and mobile connectivity: it has 5G, UFS 2.2 storage, and clearly leads the Honor Play 70C in Geekbench, with 782 versus 420 single-core points and 2,012 versus 1,391 multi-core points. The Honor Play 70C suits anyone who needs expandable storage, since it accepts a card while the 60A does not.
For everyday use, both have a 6.75-inch TFT LCD, 720-pixel resolution, 90Hz refresh rate, and 500 nits, plus 6GB of RAM and up to 128GB of internal storage. The 70C adds Gorilla Glass and curved glass; the 60A keeps a simpler display. Both weigh 186g and measure 7.9mm thick, so their size and handling start from the same baseline.
Battery performance is also level: both offer 5,300mAh, 15W fast charging, and reverse charging. For cameras, both record 1080p video at 30fps, but the 70C adds 2K at 30fps and 120fps slow motion, versus 30fps on the 60A. The Honor Play 60A keeps the advantage in 5G and Bluetooth 5.3, while the 70C offers NFC and expandable storage.
Honor Play 60A
The Honor Play 60A is the better buy for performance and 5G, with UFS 2.2 storage and stronger Geekbench results.
Honor Play 70C
The Honor Play 70C is the better buy for expandable storage and NFC, but only if it costs less.
The verdict
Neither runs away with it: each wins something.
