Today, Honor Mobile officially announced on Weibo that the company will launch the Honor Play5 series on May 18 at 19:30. The launch poster also mentions the device’s renders.
Judging from the appearance, this phone is the Honor Play5. It features a U-shaped notched display. The bezels and chin of the display are significantly reduced.
According to previously leaked information, the Honor Play5 will feature a 6.53-inch OLED screen with Full-HD+ resolution. The phone would be 7.46 mm thick and weigh around 179g.
On the back, there would be a matrix quad-camera setup (64MP Main Sensor + 8MP Ultra-wide + 2MP Depth + 2MP Macro). The phone would have a 3800mAh battery.
We also noticed that there is no fingerprint sensor on the body of the phone. The fingerprint sensor may be located under the display.
The phone comes in two colors: Aurora White and Silver Gradient. The company didn’t mention Play5 Pro renders, but the poster mentions the word series, which confirms that it will be launched alongside the Play5.
It’s worth mentioning that last year’s Honor Play 4 was powered by the Dimensity 800 chipset, while the Honor Play 4 Pro was powered by the Kirin 990 chipset. The chipset in the Honor Play5 is expected to remain the same, while the chipset in the Honor Play 5 Pro is yet to be confirmed.
