Editorial report

Huawei Honor Play 9A 4 GB / 128 GB / China / AL00 technical sheet

The Honor Play 9A suits buyers looking for a basic phone with a large battery, provided they can accept limited performance: its AnTuTu result of 101,315 is lower than that of most phones launched around the same time. It is an entry-level choice, rather than a model for anyone who prioritizes speed.

Its 5,000 mAh battery has more capacity than that of most phones of its time, but 10 W charging is slower than on most. The 6.3-inch IPS LCD display has a resolution of 720 × 1600 px and a density of 278 ppi, below average. The camera is also worse than that of most phones launched around the same time: the main camera is 13 MP, and optical image stabilization is absent.

This configuration has 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of storage. The Honor Play 9A is also sold with 128 GB or 256 GB of storage, and storage is expandable. At 185 g, it weighs less than most phones of its time, while its connectivity is below average. It does not include Google Services, which matters to buyers who rely on them.

With a NeoScore of 3.9, the Honor Play 9A is a basic option for buyers who want the essentials and value battery capacity more than performance, camera features or fast charging.
