Editor Rating
3.8/5

Honor Play 30 is a simple and affordable smartphone that features a sleek and glossy design that makes it look a lot better than its price range. However, the company has cut some corners, such as using a 90Hz display but capping the resolution at 720p or using a slow 10W charging setup for a massive 5000mAh battery. These factors can hamper the user experience to some degree, although the overall performance of the smartphone is not an issue, thanks to a reliable Snapdragon 480+ processor. There is a very basic single-camera setup on either side, which will give you decent results in good lighting conditions.

Bottom Line

Honor Play 30 is a simple and basic entry-level smartphone, both in terms of design and performance, with a low-tier Snapdragon processor, 720p display and a large if slow charging battery.
