Editorial report

Honor Play 5T technical sheet

The Honor Play 5T suits buyers looking for an Android phone with a large display and more RAM than most phones of its time. One important limitation is that it has no Google Services. This configuration combines 8 GB RAM with 128 GB storage, and storage is expandable; its RAM capacity is better than most phones launched around the same time.

The IPS LCD display measures 6.52 inches and has 269 ppi, a lower pixel density than most phones of its time. The rear camera's 13 MP resolution is also lower than that of most contemporaries, and it has no optical image stabilization. The front camera is 5 MP. Its 5000 mAh battery has more capacity than most phones launched around the same time, although the battery overall is typical; fast charging is rated at 22.5 W.

The phone runs Android 10 and includes NFC, USB Type-C and Bluetooth 5.0, alongside support for two Nano-SIM cards. Overall performance and connectivity are typical among phones launched around the same time. The Honor Play 5T earns a NeoScore of 4.4. It makes the most sense for someone prioritizing RAM and battery capacity who can accept the lower display pixel density, modest rear-camera resolution and lack of Google Services.
