The Honor Play delivers great performance, offers good build quality, and comes at a reasonably affordable price
Aug 17 2018 By Shekhar ThakranThe Honor Play comes across as a solid performer and might be the first of several ‘gaming smartphones` that will be launched in India this year. The handset offers smooth performance, decent battery life, and a quality display at an extremely reasonable price point. The 4GB RAM variant of the Honor Play has been priced by the company at Rs 19,999 and the 6GB RAM variant can be purchased for Rs 23,999 in the country. In this price range, the Honor Play will be competing against the likes of the Xiaomi Mi A2 (review), OPPO F7 (review), and Vivo V9 (review). If camera quality is important to you, you should know that the low-light performance offered by Honor Play leaves something to be desired. However, if you prefer performance over camera image quality, the Honor Play should be a no-brainer.

You don't need to enable VoLTE. Insert the VoLTE enabled SIM and by default, VoLTE will be active. If it is not, you can change the network preferences from Network option in settings.

The Honor Play does not support FM Radio. These days many phones are not having the FM Radio option, including the OnePlus 6. However, many omissions can be forgiven when a phone is as affordable as the Honor Play.

Yes, Honor Play supports OTG. USB OTG or USB On-The-Go is one of the most recent technologies that allows you to connect your pen drives and in some cases hard disks to your smartphones and tablets. It has a cable and through that cable, you can directly view and use your pen drive in your smartphones.
