FEASIBILITY OF HUAWEI HONOR PLAY 2020

In 2020 gaming users on smartphones are increasing, gaming-type mobile phones are again being targeted by cellphone users. Huawei also has a cellphone specifically for machete gaming on their 2018 Huawei Honor Play product. even though it has been two years, in our opinion, it is still feasible to use compared to other newest products with relatively expensive prices. Huawei Honor Play has a front and rear windshield body design and aluminum for the frame. with a design like this is still very feasible in 2020 considering there are still many new cellphones that use plastic as a material. The screen used by Huawei Honor Play also has an IPS LCD with a screen density of 409ppi.

the name is also for gaming mobile phones, this phone uses the 970 kirin chipset (nm) which is tightly used for gaming. GPU 672 MP12 Mali is certainly used to play mobile legends, PUBG, etc. is still very feasible. this can also be seen from the results of the Antutu test for Honor Play around 204876, GFXBench 21 Fps. with this data it can already be seen that this mobile phone in 2018 is intended for gaming.

One similarity that these two smartphones have is the existence of the GPU Turbo. This feature can optimize processor performance and increase the efficiency of GPU performance and battery power consumption when playing games. GPU Turbo is an innovative hardware-software integration solution that leaves a number of Honor competitors far behind. As a global strategic partner for PUBG MOBILE, Honor Play massively improved graphics processing and enlarged the average frame rate to 39.46 in PUBG MOBILE.


However, Honor Play provides a number of additional features that are ready to spoil gamers. In addition to distraction-free gaming modes, this smartphone provides audio with 3D surround sound and Smart Shock which adds vibration for a more immersive playing experience.

Honor Play's in-game experience has been strengthened by AI technology for full interaction. The 4D gaming experience includes a number of 3D audio effects and AI vibrations specifically made for most of the most popular mobile games and adapted to various objects and in-game scenarios. AI 4D Smart Shock can be activated for vibration effects with 30 different scenarios, based on the direction of various opponents playing or gunfire. This feature is equipped with 3D surround sound made by Histen 3D audio technology, 3D audio depth that is very wide and presents cinematic audio for the players.

because the target is for gaming, so don't expect too much from the camera sector, because the Huawei Honor Play cellphone only has a dual camera with a resolution (16 Mp + 2MP). Cannot compete with mobile phones that have triple cameras or even quad-cameras. not many things indeed when discussing Huawei Honor Play in the camera sector. there is no word "wah" and there is no "wah" mode also in the camera feature. Huawei camera standard features only that you will find on this mobile phone. 

for selfie cameras also only use 16 MP protected by a small Notch. also there are no reviews that provide added power in the selfie camera sector because indeed the resolution and features are very standard if used today.

The conclusion of Huawei Honor Play is:
excellence
1. Chipset specifically gaming.
2. wide and sharp screen.
3. Good audio when playing games, music, watching streaming movies.
4. Strong battery life.

weakness
1. Standard camera resolution
2. absence of NFC.
3. GPS incomplete

so those of you connoisseurs of gaming on mobile phones in 2020 we still recommend this mobile phone considering this year the brand issued a relatively few gaming mobile phones and even if there are mobile phones that are devoted to gaming the price offered is quite expensive. Huawei Honor Play market prices in the market place has gone down, and indeed there are very few people selling this handphone. As a suggestion if you are still looking for Huawei Honor 2020, pay attention to the battery's durability. because even though we already support fast charging 18w, in our opinion, the process of crushing from 0% to 100% still requires a relatively long time (about 2 hours).
