It not only covers all mainstream frequency bands of the three major Chinese operators and supports SA/NSA dual-module network but also supports multiple roaming frequency bands. The Honor Play 4 supports 1T4R antenna selection design, which increases the 5G download rate by 30%.
Our protagonist uses BWP and networks wisdom optimization technology. It not only can automatically adjust the network bandwidth but also improve the overall battery life by 30%. For the specific scenarios of 5G use, the Honor Play 4 has also been optimized to automatically select a more suitable network.
Performance
The Honor Play 4 uses the 7nm process 5G SoC chip from the Dimensity 800 series. It comes with a high-performance 8-core architecture as well as APU 3.0. For gaming scenarios, it also adapts a definite delay engine. The latter can centrally schedule all CPU performance to the game while carrying Game Assistant 2.0 that allows you to get more immersive gaming experience.
The MediaTek Dimensity 800 is still manufactured using TSMC’s 7nm process. The CPU uses a combination of four A76 and four A55 cores. The highest frequency is 2.0GHz, at the same time integrates four G77 GPU graphics cores (nine for Dimensity 1000), supports 90Hz refresh rate, Full HD+ resolution screen, and of course, the MediaTek HyperEngine game engine.
The Honor Play 4 uses the industry’s VC liquid-cooled heat dissipation and 12-layer heat dissipation structure to systematically solve the heat dissipation problem and quickly dissipate the heat. It also comes with the AI temperature control technology of the shell. So the shell is adjusted according to the temperature. There is also a large 4300mAh battery and 22.5W super-fast charge support.
On the back, the Honor Play 4 sports a 64-megapixel ultra-clear main camera. It has a 1/1.7-inch large size and supports four-in-one technology.

According to the official introduction, the download speed of the Honor Play4 Pro is up to 2Gbps+. Also, it supports 5G smart dual card option, intelligent switching, preferably high-quality Internet access, and smart traffic reminders. At the same time, it supports dual-card VoLTE, one-card VoLTE call, one-card 5G Internet access, and so on.
Camera
The Honor Play 4 Pro comes with Sony’s deeply customized 40 million RYYB super-sensitive main camera, which increases the amount of light entering by 40%. The 40MP RYYB super-sensitive camera is the Sony IMX600 CMOS with a 1/1.7-inch large sensor and an AI super clear mode intelligent algorithm upgrade. Moreover, the 8MP telephoto lens captures every small detail. It also supports 3 times lossless optical zoom and up to 30 times digital zoom, OIS and fast laser focusing, etc. And it can completely cover the 80-810mm equivalent focal length. There are also dual front camera sensors with a resolution of 32MP and 8MP.
One of the most attractive features of this handset is the non-contact infrared temperature measurement function. It achieves the integration of accuracy and portability. The maximum temperature varies from -20 to 100 ℃, while the minimum division value is accurate to 0.1 ℃. Thus, it can be used to measure people and objects. This non-contact infrared temperature sensor is located below the 40-megapixel rear camera module.
