Gogi,
What is the storage type it has?!
Gogi,
What is the storage type it has?!
Do anybody know when Honor Play will be back in stock?
Is Blue Variant Available?
I couldn’t find these info on Amazon.in!
Finally settled with honor view 10 after yesterday honor play sale fiasco.
found upgrade worth rs 3500 on honor play.
Honor Play next sale on 17… so no 10% SBI debit card off offer. It would have costed me rs 20000 so why not a better phone using offer.
Well Gogi Bro. what you say isn’t it wise to get honor view 10 right now than honor play.
You mean honor view 10 is better than honor play. Can you please clarify what options are better in view 10.
Well, Battery and Processor is same. GPU Turbo will be available as update soon.
Personally I hate Notch, since it makes the corner of display more susceptible to failling.
At the time of Order, Honor View 10 was available at Rs 25000(extra 10% off on SBI debit card) now its price again raised to 30k. It costed me Rs 23.5k.
Honor Play 6/64 is for rs 23999, but today Honor upgraded it to 6/128 for the same price in China. I hope it happens in India also.
So, was getting 64 GB more data storage in comparison to high end version of Honor Play at that time at Rs 500 lesser.
Honor View 10 cameras have f1.8 aperture comparing to f2.2 of Honor Play. 20 MP secondary camera for depth and detail capturing on Honor View whereas Honor play has only 2 MP. Honor View 10 has NFC, IR Blaster, Fingerprint in front can be used as single key navigation so complete 6″ real state display will be up for use.
I will be receiving the phone tomorrow.
I will link the clicks here if you want to.

Sir please compare MI A2 and Honor Play
With no 3.5 headphone jack MI A2 is crap. Better go for note 5 pro.
with no 3.5 headphone jack iphone X is crap? are you buying mobile or walkman?
Have you ever read user reviews of iphone x?
It seems you are carrying walkman in 2018. lollllll……..

Hi gogi, please confirm either it has front flash or not. Also doest it support aptx Bluetooth audio.
Please compare it with mi a2
Warning – if u want to play pubg or planning to buy a phone to play pubg then ignore honor phones altogether. my friends have honor phones and they suck at pubg, even if you are using gfx tool. You wanna see (watch Gameplays on YouTube) and their upcoming gpu turbo update is gimmick
But their phones are good in general
But who isn’t playing pubg today?
don’t generalize all honor phones. this one is having kirin 970 which is having gaming performance close to snapdragon 845. check in youtube and you can see both snapdragon 845 and honor play was able to play pubg in 40FPS in best graphics settings possible in pubg.
Yeah i watched the Gameplay and it was pretty smooth, so i take that back
I also hated honor phones but this phone, honor play is amazing for gaming or the price.
Is honor play still a great deal for 16 k.. Or should I go with realme X??
I wonder why it is priced this much compared to Mi Max 2! Only thing I can find better here is the dual camera setup.
bro..kirin 970 is the flagship processor for honor devices and undoubtedly more
powerful than the one in MI max 2.. u can’t even compare the mi max 2 with the honor play.
this one would be budget flagship handset.
Hi gogi, please confirm either it has front flash or not. Also doest it support aptx Bluetooth audio.
Please compare it with mi a2
Sir Major issue with RealMe 1 has cropped up. Most of the phones which have got an update today their either display or motherboard has gone. I tweeted you the photos and details, please see.

Dear Gogi,
What type of Screen protection is available in this handset.
Does it support Google camera app
Please compare it with Mi A2
The reason why I buy Mi A2:
– Camera (Both Front and Back)
– Stock android + android updates
– Lower weight – 166g (vs 176g)
– Bluetooth 5.0
– Dual LED Flash
– Infrared port
The reason why I buy Honor Play:
– Chipset
– 3.5mm Headphone Jack
– Battery
– Hybrid SIM Slot – Expansion Memory
– Better screen size + Bezel less display
– FM Radio
Reason i dont buy mi a2 -no 3.5mm jack
You bought two phones?
Reason for buy not bought :p
BTW, I settled for Honor Play since I already have a DSLR for my photography needs and so many precious headphones to throw away. Rest all the reasons were same as mentioned.
Awesome pricing, but why 2gb more ram cost 4k extra?? 2k extra is justify…
?Priced aggressively…
Gear Gogi,
Please upload the full review by 4 pm. So that I can get the idea whether to buy it or not.
Already on youtube
Waited for this. Aggressive pricing.
Great Phone at Great Price
