Editorial report

Honor Play 20 Pro technical sheet

The Honor Play 20 Pro suits anyone looking for an OLED display in a slim, light phone; its main trade-off is a 3800 mAh battery. This China-market version also lacks Google Services, which matters to anyone who relies on them for everyday apps.

Its OLED display ranks better than that of most phones launched around the same time. The screen measures 6.53″, with 1080 × 2400 px resolution, while the 81% screen-to-body ratio is lower than most. At 7.5 mm thick and 179 g, the phone is among the thinnest and weighs less than most phones from its time.

The main camera’s 64 MP resolution and 1/1.7″ sensor are both higher or larger than those of most phones launched around the same time. Its f/1.9 aperture is worse than most, and it has no optical image stabilization. There is also an 8 MP ultrawide camera, and video recording reaches 1080p at 30 fps. The MediaTek Helio G80, 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage describe this configuration; storage is not expandable. The battery supports 22.5 W fast charging.

Overall, the Honor Play 20 Pro is typical among phones launched around the same time, with a NeoScore of 5.0. It makes the most sense for someone who prioritizes an OLED display and slim build over greater battery capacity or Google Services.
