The new Honor Play 40 is here and it looks different: it’s the same on the inside, but it looks different on the outside. The company also unveiled a sleek new tablet with multimedia in its blood.
Game of honor 40
The Honor Play 40 is powered by the same Snapdragon 480+ chipset as the Play 30. This time, however, it has better memory configurations: 6/128GB, 8/128GB and even 8/256GB. You can add up to 5GB of virtual RAM. It also launches with MagicOS 7.1 (based on Android 13), while its predecessor came with Android 11.
The display is essentially the same as before, a 6.56-inch LCD with a resolution of 720 x 1,612 px (just over 20:9). It has a 90Hz refresh rate and a 5MP selfie camera notched at the top.
The rear camera features a 13MP main module with 1080p video recording and a 2MP depth sensor (this sensor is a new addition, but we would have preferred a UW lens).
Moving on, the battery is slightly larger at 5,200mAh (from 200mAh and up), but it still only supports 10W basic charging. In addition to the USB-C port, there’s also a headphone jack 3.5mm jack and the phone has Hi-Res Audio certifications (both wired and wireless).
Actually, the biggest update here is the new look with four color options. The camera island is flat, but it’s distinguished by a different surface finish (the camera lenses stick out, though) and there’s a glittery ring around the “AI camera” label.
The Honor Play 40 is already available through Honor’s online store in China. The 6/128GB base model is priced at CNY 1,380 ($190/€175/₹15,700).
Honor Pad X8 Pro
At 11.5″ the Honor Pad X8 Pro is larger than the Pad X8 (10.1″). Its IPS LCD has a resolution of 2,000 x 1,200 px, 100% sRGB coverage, peak 400 nits, and minimum brightness of 2 nits. Also, the display runs at 120Hz (or 90Hz or 60Hz). The slate also offers high-end audio with six speakers (two each on three sides).
The Pro model is powered by a Snapdragon 685 chipset, which can be configured with 4/6/8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. Works with MagicOS 7.1 (Android 13) out of the box.
The Honor Pad X8 Pro has a metal body, which is quite thin and light at 6.9mm and 495g. This one is with a 7,250mAh battery inside, which promises 13 hours of video playback. Three colorways are available and the style matches that of the Honor Play 40.
Honor Pad X8 Pro is available in three colors
The Honor Pad X8 Pro is also available today in Honor’s online store in China. The 6/128GB version is priced at CNY 1,100 ($150/€140/₹12,500).
