Honor play

Advantages: - great processor
- NFC availability
- you can install two SIM cards
- you can install a memory card (the slot for it is combined with one of the SIM cards)
- 64 gigabytes of internal memory, 52 available to the user. It is not amazing, but enough for everyday tasks with head.
- a good screen with a huge diagonal while maintaining the overall compactness of the smartphone, with excellent color reproduction, normally readable even in daylight
- fast charge
- aluminum housing
- excellent communication without interruption, both mobile and Internet
- transparent silicone case included

Disadvantages: - medium battery. But this is the eternal problem of many smartphones, it lasts here for a full day, but of course I would like more.
- the camera. Actually, it is good, but this is certainly not the flagship level, it takes off pretty badly in low light, and very good in the daytime and in artificial light.

Comment: The top processor Hisilicon Kirin 970, with which the interface, any everyday tasks and the vast majority of games just fly.
I used to use smartphones of the mainstream segment (Huawei p10 lite, for example), with the appropriate processors, and I thought that was enough. But after Honor Play with its flagship iron, I don’t feel like returning to cheaper smartphones - it works so smoothly and quickly.
GPU Turbo technology in it really is, but with a number of important nuances.
First, for marketing purposes, its efficiency is still somewhat overestimated.
Secondly, for the operation of this technology still has to support the game itself, and at the time of the release of the smartphone it was supported by literally a couple of games, including PUBG Mobile. Huawei are negotiating with game developers to increase this list.
Thirdly, the GPU Turbo works a little differently than they say about it. It does not give a literal increase in performance, it evens out the average fps in such a way that the user does not feel any brakes and drawdowns fps.And it really works, it is very pleasant to play even heavy games, except that the settings from the ultras should be lowered to the high ones (it is sometimes uncomfortable on the ultras).
Summing up, I want to say that the Honor Play smartphone for its price is simply excellent, outstanding in all characteristics except, perhaps, cameras. Better cameras are only in the flagships, but they are usually worth a half to two times more.

Advantages: For such a price, the screen is very good. The operating time of the device is 24 hours a day, with active use (30 minutes of play, a constantly switched on Internet watches, YouTube, calls 1.5-2 hours per day). Metal case.

Disadvantages: No oleophobic coating and no screen protection from scratches (so that the protective glass immediately). The sound is loud, but it seemed to me that when it is turned on to the full, the music plays a bit with a rattle.

Comment: The camera is normal, but for this price category of norms. The second camera for portraem shooting. Of course, there is no optical stabilization, it seems to be digital, but it does not help much. In general, this device is not bad, but for the money you can have competitors. I took it because of the screen and the metal case.) I do not like glass))

Advantages: - Excellent forum factor! A diagonal of 6.3 inches, with an aspect ratio of 19.5: 9, is excellent in the hand and does not look like a spade.
- Fashionable "eyebrow"))) (some are flaws that can be removed by settings).
- Fast charging and silicone case included!
- Excellent "buns" from Huawey - fitness bracelet and bluetooth headphones as a gift!
- All types of unblocking: on Face, on a print (in the dark we will not replace) or on a code.
- Memory card slot.
- Excellent performance in everyday tasks.
- Oleophobic screen coating is excellent. Practically does not require special care products.
- Responsive screen (probably sharpened by gamers).
- The quality of photos is simply super (even without problems with the settings).

- sonorous and clear sound speakers.
- light weight
- Metal back cover

Disadvantages: - I think that the battery for 4000 - 5000 mAh would be only a plus (although there is enough for a day of active use).
- On a wooded stretch of road near Zvenigorod - constantly losing touch. The old Sony Z Ultra in this place only occasionally failed. I think this is the consequences of energy saving!
- when working with Yandex-Navigator, light heating takes place.

Comment: The flagship of 2013 from Sony, - Z Ultra did not live to see its 3rd anniversary. And I had to quickly look for a decent replacement for him. Since I got used to the big screen (6.44 '), I chose from the category - at least 6' ... As it turned out, Honor Play is much smaller - the frames on the sides are almost completely absent. Initially I wanted to change to a more familiar Sony, but the promised gifts, the new "mysterious" technology of the GPU Turbo and free shipping did their job. When transferring data from Sony to Honor, the phone “grabbed” up to a dozen pre-installed programs from a Japanese manufacturer. Branded shell did not cause any inconvenience, everything is intuitive. Gorgeous themes from "Honor" are pleasing to the eye and absolutely do not want to change anything in them. Sometimes "smart tips" pop up)))).
I was very surprised by the photos taken from the phone, without any adornments on my part (photos are attached). The phone itself shows the horizon blending while focusing. Offers processing options (portrait, landscape, etc.).
Works great "in a pair" with a fitness bracelet Honor Band 3 (a gift from HUAWEY). The bracelet regularly stops me near the elevator, reminding me that the phone stayed at home! (Class). The sound of the signal can be turned off - the bracelet notifies with a slight vibration and shows all notifications from previously selected applications. The sound of the phone is clear and clear. The screen responds to a light touch (made as known under toys).
I can't rate hard games - it's not a gamer. As the navigator works no worse than its predecessor. So far, only delighted with the purchase.
