Editorial report
Honor Play 40C technical sheet
The Honor Play 40C suits buyers looking for a straightforward Android phone with a high-capacity battery; its main trade-offs are camera resolution and slow charging. This version has 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage, with no option to expand it.
Its 5200 mAh battery has more capacity than those in most phones of its time. At 188 g, it also weighs less than most. Fast charging is a weaker point: its 10 W power is lower than that of most phones launched around the same time.
The 6.56-inch IPS LCD display has a 90 Hz refresh rate and 269 ppi density, both lower than those of most phones of its time. Its 13 MP camera also has lower resolution than most. The processor is a Qualcomm Snapdragon 480 Plus, and the phone supports dual SIM and 5G. It runs Android 13 but has no Google Services.
Overall, the Honor Play 40C ranks worse than most phones of its time, despite its stronger battery capacity and lower weight. Its NeoScore is 4.7. It is best suited to buyers who prioritize a 5200 mAh battery and a lighter phone over camera resolution, display specifications, and charging power.
