NeoTeo's verdict
Which of the two is the better buy
The Honor Play 6A is the pick for a smoother display and broader connectivity, while the Honor Play 60A makes more sense when reverse charging and an included charger matter more. The 6A’s 120Hz IPS LCD is ahead of the 60A’s 90Hz TFT LCD, while the 60A adds reverse charging and a charger in the box.
The 6A uses an IPS LCD rather than the 60A’s TFT LCD and raises refresh rate to 120Hz from 90Hz, a difference visible when scrolling. Both share the MediaTek Dimensity 6300, 6GB of RAM, 128GB of storage and a 5,300mAh battery, so those figures do not separate them.
For connectivity, the 6A adds NFC and USB Host 2.0, plus a broader Bluetooth set with LDAC, while the 60A offers aptX HD and stereo speakers. On the main camera, the 6A records slow motion at 120fps versus 30fps and uses a Dual LED flash versus LED; the 60A answers with reverse charging and an included charger as its trade-off.
Honor Play 6A
The Honor Play 6A is the better buy for a 120Hz display, NFC and USB Host 2.0.
Honor Play 60A
The Honor Play 60A is the better buy for charging other devices and getting a charger in the box.
The verdict
Neither runs away with it: each wins something.
