Editorial report
Honor Play 20a technical sheet
The Honor Play 20a suits buyers looking for a straightforward phone with Dual SIM and expandable storage. Its main trade-offs are the camera, charging and performance: overall, it ranks worse than most phones launched around the same time.
The IPS LCD display measures 6.52 inches and has a resolution of 720 × 1600 px. Its 269 ppi pixel density is lower than that of most displays of its time, a consideration for anyone who prioritizes detail when reading or viewing content. This version pairs 6 GB of RAM with 128 GB of expandable storage; both RAM and storage capacity are lower than those of most phones from that period. The processor is a MediaTek Helio G85.
The camera’s 13 MP resolution is among the weakest of its time. The battery has a capacity of 5,000 mAh, a typical figure, while 10 W charging is among the slowest. The phone supports Dual Nano-SIM and Bluetooth 5.1, and includes NFC and a 3.5 mm audio jack. It has no Google Services, a limitation for anyone who relies on them. The Honor Play 20a earns a NeoScore of 4.3 and ranks worse than most phones of its time. It is an option for buyers who value Dual SIM and expandable storage more than display detail, camera resolution and charging speed.
