Editorial report

Honor Play 80 technical sheet

The Honor Play 80 suits buyers looking for a slim, relatively light 5G phone for everyday use. Its main trade-offs are the display, camera and charging speed, which are weak beside phones launched around the same time.

The body weighs 186 g and measures 7.9 mm thick, making it lighter and thinner than most phones of its time. IP65 protection adds resistance to dust and water. Its 6.75″ TFT LCD display runs at 90 Hz, with 260 ppi and 450 nits; its refresh rate, density and brightness are among the weakest figures. The phone also includes 5G, NFC, Bluetooth 5.3, Dual Nano-SIM and GPS, Galileo, GLONASS, BeiDou and QZSS navigation, although its connectivity overall is worse than most phones of its time.

The MediaTek Dimensity 6300, 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage form a typical configuration. The 5,300 mAh battery is also typical, while 15 W charging is slower than what most phones of its time offer. The 13 MP rear camera has an f/2.2 aperture and no optical stabilization, putting it among the weakest of its time. With a NeoScore of 5.1, the Honor Play 80 is worse than most phones launched around the same time. Its clearest appeal is the relatively light, thin body rather than the display, camera or charging system.
