The 2-inch screen is useful in practical ways too, showing things like the time, notifications, and music controls which is something anyone who still doesnt listen to music on a sony walkman will definitely appreciate. The screen also doubles as a mirror for selfies. That lets you use the rear camera instead of the bad 5MP front-facing shooter.
Rest of the specs
The hardware is powered by MediaTek’s Helio G81, a budgetary chipset more suited for typical daily use rather than heavy gaming and such. The Play 20A also has a 6.9-inch LCD display with a 90Hz refresh rate, giving you smoother scrolling than the 60Hz displays you often find on budget phones like this. So if you want to doomscroll until morning, but have delicate fingers, then this is the phone for you!
The rear cameras have a 13MP main unit and a 2MP sensor.
Battery
Software
On the software front, the Play 20A is running Android 16 Go Edition, the scaled-down version for less resource-intensive phones.
Despite having a huge battery, Honor has managed to keep the handset to a reasonable 8.4 mm thickness, and the bezels around the screen are also really slim.
Pricing
Honor has not yet announced official pricing or availability beyond its listing on retail websites in the UAE, Qatar, and Kuwait. The price changes depending on the storage configuration and retailer, but it seems to retail for around 500 to 700 AED (approximately $135 to $190).
