HONOR Play player edition

The HONOR Play is a mid-range gamer’s phone, built for high performance on a budget. The best part is that the “mid-range” part of the description relates to the price tag more than the HONOR Play specs. The HONOR Play release date was June 6 in China, August 6 in India, and was launched globally at IFA 2018. Among some expensive competition, the HONOR Play is priced to please in a suddenly burgeoning niche of the market: gaming phones.

HONOR Play price

At IFA 2018, HONOR president George Zhao confirmed that the HONOR Play will be priced at 349 euros for the European market and 279 pounds in the U.K. for the base 4GB RAM model (no word on the 6GB RAM variant).

The phone will come in Navy Blue, Midnight Black, and Ultra Violet, although the latter won’t be available in the U.K. The snazzier Player Edition Red or Player Edition Black (pictured above) colorways, meanwhile, are slightly more expensive and will go for 349 euros.

In China and India, the HONOR Play comes in two variants, one with 4GB of RAM and another with 6GB of RAM, although both share the same internal storage capacity of 64GB. It comes in Navy Blue or Midnight Black, as well as the special Player Editions.

  • HONOR Play 4GB price: 19,999 rupees (~$291) / 1,999 yuan
  • HONOR Play 6GB price: 23,999 rupees (~$349) / 2,399 yuan
