Editorial report
Honor Play 40 Plus 8 GB / 256 GB / China technical sheet
The Honor Play 40 Plus suits buyers who put battery capacity first, though its display pixel density is among the lowest of phones from its time. Its 6000 mAh battery has more capacity than most phones launched around the same time; 22.5 W charging is typical. That makes battery capacity the more distinctive specification, rather than charging power.
The rear main camera has 50.1 MP resolution, higher than that of most phones from its time. The camera overall is typical. Its 6.74″ IPS LCD display has a 90 Hz refresh rate, lower than that of most phones from its time, and a pixel density of 260 ppi. The large diagonal may suit buyers who want a spacious screen, while the 720 × 1600 px resolution and pixel density matter to anyone prioritizing fine detail.
Performance and hardware, connectivity, and design with display are typical among phones launched around the same time. This version pairs 6 GB RAM and 128 GB storage with a MediaTek Dimensity 700, 5G, Bluetooth 5.1, and dual SIM. The phone is also sold in configurations up to 8 GB / 256 GB. The Honor Play 40 Plus earns a NeoScore of 5.0: it is best suited to buyers who value battery capacity and can accept a less dense display with a refresh rate lower than that of most phones from its time.
