The Honor Play is a mid-range gamer’s phone, built for high performance on a budget. The best part is that the “mid-range” part of the description relates to the price tag more than the Honor Play specs. The Honor Play release date was June 6 in China, August 6 in India, with a global unveiling planned for IFA 2018. Among some expensive competition, the Honor Play is priced to please in a suddenly burgeoning niche of the market: gaming phones.
Honor Play price
We’ll have to wait until the Honor Play’s official unveiling for the global market on August 30 to get global pricing, but Chinese and Indian pricing is already known. In China and India, the Honor Play comes in two variants, one with 4GB of RAM and another with 6GB of RAM, although both share the same internal storage capacity of 64GB. It comes in navy blue or midnight black, with special player editions (pictured above).

Honor Play availability
The Honor Play has been available in India for some time now, but it can currently only be bought through flash sales on Amazon India or through Honor’s Indian website. Flash sales happen quickly, so you need to be fast. The next flash sale on Honor’s website is scheduled for August 28 at 12 noon and via Amazon on August 29 at 12 noon.
Stay tuned to Android Authority on August 30 when Honor Play availability will be announced for global markets. We’ll also be bringing you more Honor Play pricing details at that time, along with details of a “special announcement” we don’t know much about yet.
