Editorial report
Honor Play 5 Youth 8 GB / 128 GB / China technical sheet
The Honor Play5 Youth suits anyone looking for a large, smooth display, but its battery has less capacity than most phones of its time. The 6.67″ IPS LCD reaches 120 Hz, a higher refresh rate than most phones launched around the same time. Its 89.5% screen-to-body ratio is also among the highest of its time, leaving a large share of the front for the display.
The 64 MP camera resolution is higher than that of most phone cameras of its time. Its f/1.9 aperture is less bright than most, however, and the phone has no optical image stabilization. The 4300 mAh battery has less capacity than most phones launched around the same time, while its 66 W charging power is higher than most.
This configuration pairs 8 GB of RAM with 128 GB of storage; the Play5 Youth is also sold as an 8 GB / 256 GB version. It runs Android 11 and has no Google Services, a limitation for anyone who relies on them. Overall, the Honor is typical among phones launched around the same time, with a NeoScore of 5.1. It is worth considering for buyers who prioritize a 120 Hz display, can accept a lower-capacity battery, and do not depend on Google services.
