Editorial report

Honor Play6C technical sheet

The Honor Play6C suits buyers seeking a straightforward 5G phone with dual-SIM support, NFC and expandable storage. Its main trade-off is the 13 MP rear camera, which is weaker than most phones of its time and lacks optical image stabilization.

Its 6.5″ IPS LCD uses a 20:9 ratio, 720 × 1600 px resolution and a 90 Hz refresh rate. Both 270 ppi and 90 Hz are weaker figures than most phones of its time. The 194 g body and 83% usable surface are typical values.

This version pairs 6 GB of RAM with expandable 128 GB storage and uses the Qualcomm Snapdragon 480 Plus (SM4350-AC). It runs Android 11, but has no Google Services or direct operating-system updates. Connectivity includes 5G, NFC, USB Type-C, dual Nano-SIM and GPS, A-GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou and Galileo. The 5,000 mAh battery and 22.5 W charging are typical for its time.

The Honor Play6C earns an overall NeoScore of 4.8 and sits in a typical position among phones of its time. It is a practical choice for buyers who prioritize 5G and broad connectivity, rather than camera resolution or display detail.
