Editor Rating
3.2/5

Honor Play 5T Youth edition is a simple and cheap entry-level smartphone that has entered the popular Play series of affordable smartphones sold by the Chinese brand. It features a similar design and aesthetic as the original 5T while also sharing the plastic body and frame construction. You get a plain back and front design, with the rear featuring a matte paint job that is finished off with a slightly shiny coating that makes it reflective under direct sunlight. The camera module has been trimmed down to look like a small rectangle with curved edges that features a glass cover to protect the cameras. The cover has been painted glossy black to contrast with the rest of the device.
