Huawei's sub-brand Honor has launched its Play 7 smartphone in China. This is a budget smartphone, featuring a 24MP front-facing camera and an 18:9 FullView display. Honor Play 7 is priced at Yuan 599 (or approx Rs 6,382) and is currently available in Black, Gold and Blue colour variants through VMall. At the moment, there's no update on the phone's pricing and availability in India. Since this is a budget smartphone, it's no surprise to see that it comes with a MediaTek MT6739 mobile processor coupled with 2GB RAM and 16GB of internal memory. However, Honor 7 Play sports a 5.45-inch HD+ (720 x 1440p) display with an 18:9 aspect ratio. A microSD card slot is also there to expand the internal memory (up to 256GB). The phone is backed by a 3020mAh battery. The handset runs Android 8.1 Oreo.
