Honor is gearing up to release a new budget-friendly smartphone in its Play lineup. The Honor Play 60A, which has been spotted on China’s Telecom Equipment Terminal Network, offers some exciting upgrades over the current Play 60 model.
The upcoming device (model NLA-AN00) measures 167 x 77 x 7.89 mm and weighs a mere 186 grams, marking it as slimmer and lighter than its predecessor. For context, the existing Honor Play 60 is thicker at 8.4mm and heavier at 197 grams.
The front of the new phone features a 6.75-inch display with a resolution of 720 x 1600 pixels. Underneath the hood lies an unnamed octa-core processor clocked at 2.2 GHz, which supports 5G connectivity. Despite these improvements, one potential drawback is the reduced battery capacity: the Play 60A carries a 5130mAh battery compared to the Play 60’s larger 6000mAh unit.
Cameras on the Honor Play 60A are modest but practical for everyday use. It comes with a single rear camera of 13MP and a front-facing selfie camera that has 5MP resolution. This aligns well with the series’ affordability focus, delivering essential features without breaking the bank.
Earlier this year, the Honor Play 60 was launched with the MediaTek Dimensity 6300 chipset, a 6.61-inch LCD screen capable of reaching up to 120Hz refresh rate, and storage options starting at 6GB + 128GB priced at 1199 yuan.
While Honor hasn’t specified an exact launch date for the Play 60A yet, certification completion suggests that its debut is imminent. Stay tuned to our Telegram community and sign up for our daily newsletter for real-time updates on this upcoming release.
