Honor Play 4, Honor Play 4 Pro with hole-punch display, 5G support launched: Price, specifications
Honor Play 4 and Honor Play 4 Pro have been launched as the latest smartphones by the Huawei sub-brand Honor. The new smartphones come with a hole-punch display design and offer 5G connectivity. Honor has also provided fast charging support on both Honor Play 4 models. Further, the Honor Play 4 Pro in the new series comes in an additional variant that has a dedicated infrared (IR) sensor at the back to measure body temperature. The feature is quite useful in current times as a sudden rise in body temperature is believed as an early symptom of COVID-19.

The phone comes in Magical Night Black, Phantom Blue, and Iceland Illusion colour options and will go on sale in China starting June 12. The Honor Play 4 Pro price, on the other hand, is set at CNY 2,899 (roughly ₹ 30,800) for the 8GB + 128GB storage variant.
