HONOR just launched a new big-battery budget smartphone, the HONOR Play 8T.
The new HONOR Play 8T comes with a generous 6,000mAh battery with a 35W charging adapter in the box. HONOR claims that, on a single charge, you can play games for up to 10 hours.
With a large battery comes an enormous display. What we have here is a 6.8-inch LCD panel with an FHD+ pixel resolution and 90Hz refresh rate.
It then has a MediaTek Dimensity 6080 processor, a rebranded Dimensity 700 from years ago. You can get it with up to 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage.
On the back, we have the sharp 50-megapixel main camera, a 2-megapixel depth sensor, and on the front, an 8-megapixel shooter for selfies.
It will run on the Android 13-based MagicOS 7.2 and even has a stereo speaker setup.
The HONOR Play 8T comes in 8GB/256GB and 12GB/256GB configurations for a price of CNY1,099 (~Php8,500) and CNY1,299 (~Php10,100), respectively. They are now available in China while international release details are yet to be known.
