The Honor Play 6T and Play 6T Pro are the latest in Huawei’s line of devices, with a focus on performance. The six-core Kirin 980 CPU is paired with Mali-G76 GPU that is capable of 7 GFLOPs (giga floating point operations per second). It runs Android 9 Pie, has 256GB RAM and dual 4200mAh batteries for long life.
The “Honor Play 6T and Play 6T Pro arrive with Mediatek Dimensity and 5G” is a new device that has been released. The Honor Play 6T comes with the Mediatek Dimensity, while the Honor Play 6T Pro will have 5G connectivity.
Honor is still making announcements, with the Chinese brand emancipated from Huawei having filled its list, for the time being, with two new smartphones from the Play youth line, represented by the Honor Play 6T standard and Pro.
During a virtual event, Honor, a former Huawei spin-off, presented two new entrants in the Play smartphone series aimed at young people, the Honor Play 6T and 6T Pro, which are aimed at individuals who desire modern designs and better than average performance for the price range.
The Honor Play 6T (167.59 x 77.19 x 8.62 mm, 198 grams in Magic Night Black, Titanium Sky Silver, and Charm Sea Blue) has a panoramic (20: 9) very fluid 6.7-inch LCD display (90 Hz), with a water drop notch housing the 5 megapixel self-camera with a resolution of HD + (1600 720 pixels), similar to some of the school rivals BBK Electronics (Realme and Vivo). The fingerprint scanner is on the side, and the perimeter also has a 3.5 mm mini-jack for wired headphones or earbuds.
The main sensor, 13 megapixel (f / 1.8), is given all of the case’s importance by an obvious totem on the back, with the lower section flanked by two similar auxiliary 2 megapixel sensors, following the classic scheme of using one for macro and one for capturing the depth needed for Portrait mode and the Bokeh effect.
The MediaTek Dimensity 700 octacore processor (2.2 GHz), made with 7 nanometer lithography and flanked by a Mali-G57 MC2 GPU, drives this model: the RAM and storage (expandable via microSD of up to 512 GB) options are two, with 8 + 128 GB costing 1,199 yuan (173 euros) and 8 + 256 GB costing 1,399 yuan (173 euros) (202 euros).
The battery, which has a capacity of 5,000 mAh, can be charged quickly at 22.5W using the microUSB Type-C port; the connection section also features Dual SIM with 4G and 5G (standalone and not), Wi-Fi ac dual band, Bluetooth 5.1, and GPS (A-GPS, Beidou, Glonass, Galileo). Android 11 with the Magic UI 5.0 interface was chosen as the operating system.
The Honor Play 6T Pro (Magic Night Black, Rose Gold, Titanium Silver), fitted with an aluminum alloy frame, appears more like an iPhone 12/13 owing to the corners plates, and runs the same software as its younger brother. The front has a hole in the upper center to accommodate an 8-megapixel selfiecamera; the display, a 6.7-inch LCD with lateral fingerprint protection, now has a FullHD Plus resolution (2388 x 1080 pixels) but keeps the 90 Hz refresh rate.
The camera is dual at the back, inserted in a square with a symmetrical double hole design, with the primary sensor being 48 megapixels and a 2 megapixel auxiliary sensor for depth of field acquisition. Despite the decreased thickness (7.45 mm), the 3.5 mm mini-jack is still accessible, with the chassis owing its weight (175 grams) to the 4,000 mAh battery, which can be charged more rapidly (by 50% in only 20 minutes) at 40W.
On the hardware side, the Honor Play 6T Pro is powered by the Dimensity 810 octacore processor (2.4 GHz), which, along with a Mali-G57 MC2 GPU, brings 5G connectivity, just like the standard model: on the mnemonic level, the assets remain confirmed of RAM and storage from 8 + 128 (1,399 yuan or 202 euros) and 8 + 256 GB (1,399 yuan or 202 euros (1,599 yuan or 231 euros).
