Honor Play 4

Huawei is the main company that is bearing the brunt of the ongoing trade war between the US and China. Selling smartphones without access to Google apps and services is definitely affecting its profits and the brand has had to focus on the Chinese market to keep its revenue up, and it has been a bit successful at doing that. Huawei had attained the position of second largest smartphone company by sales volume but that was before the US-China issue broke out. But the good news is that if you’re a fan of the company’s phones, it is still launching phones by the dozens. The latest phone from the Chinese company’s sub brand Honor, is the Honor Play 4. This new device packs a MediaTek MT6873 Dimensity 800 5G chipset under the hood and comes with a 6.81 inch IPS LCD display that has a resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels. Not only do you get a good processor, you also get 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage space, besides a microSD card slot so you can add memory. The phone runs on Magic UI but sans Google Mobile Services. You get a quad rear camera with a 64MP primary cam, an 8MP secondary lens, a 2MP macro shooter and a 2MP depth camera. The phone has a 16MP front facing camera for your vanity shots. You get 22.5W fast charging support with the 4300mAh battery, so you’re looking at a phone that won’t give you any battery troubles. Some of the popular Honor mobile phones include the Honor X10, the Honor 9C, and the Honor Play 4 Pro.
