Editor Rating
3.3/5

Honor Play 30 Plus is a nice upgrade to the base model Play smartphones sold by the popular Chinese brand, which gets a refreshed and more refined design. You still get a plastic frame and body construction to keep the weight and cost down while also offering protection against fall damage, scratches and fingerprints. The rear panel features a smooth matte finish that glows lightly under direct sunlight. The front panel features a small punch-hole cutout for the selfie camera that sits in the top centre and helps make the bezels look almost non-existent. The display itself is flat, although the frame has been curved slightly to make it easier to hold.
