Honor Play 60 Plus

The Honor Play 60 Plus has a standard, non-folding form factor measuring 167 mm tall, 76.8 mm wide, and 8.1 mm thick, with a total volume of 103.88736 cm³ and a weight of 197 g. It holds an IP64 rating, meaning it is protected against dust ingress and resistant to water splashes, though it does not feature a rugged build for more demanding conditions.

The Honor Play 60 Plus features a 6.77″ LCD touchscreen with a resolution of 720 x 1610 px and a pixel density of 261 ppi, paired with a 120Hz refresh rate for smoother on-screen motion. The display does not include branded damage-resistant glass, and it lacks support for HDR10, HDR10+, or Dolby Vision content formats. There is no Always-On Display mode and no secondary screen present on this device.

The Honor Play 60 Plus is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 chipset, built on a 4 nm process with a TDP of 4W, featuring an 8-thread CPU running at 2 x 2.3 GHz and 6 x 2 GHz using big.LITTLE technology, alongside an Adreno 613 GPU clocked at 955 MHz with support for DirectX 12, OpenGL ES 3.2, OpenCL 2, and up to two displays. The SoC includes integrated LTE, integrated graphics, and ARM TrustZone security, and supports 64-bit processing. The device comes with 12 GB of DDR5 RAM running at 3200 MHz — expandable up to a maximum of 16 GB — and 512 GB of eMMC 5.1 internal storage.

The Honor Play 60 Plus features a dual-lens rear camera system combining a 50 MP sensor at f/1.8 and a 2 MP sensor at f/2.4, both using a CMOS sensor without back-illumination, and capable of recording video at 1080p/30fps with continuous autofocus, slow-motion support, and no optical image stabilization. Focusing options include phase-detection autofocus, touch autofocus, and manual focus, while the manual controls extend to exposure, ISO, and white balance, though manual shutter speed is not available. The rear camera also supports burst mode, in-camera panoramas, and a built-in HDR mode, with a single LED flash but no dual-tone, RGB, or laser autofocus options, and it does not shoot in RAW format or record HDR10 or Dolby Vision video. On the front, a 5 MP single-lens camera with an f/2.2 aperture handles selfies, without a front-facing flash or an under-display placement.

The Honor Play 60 Plus runs Android 14 and includes a broad set of privacy controls, covering location access, camera and microphone permissions, clipboard warnings, and app tracking blocking, though cross-site tracking blocking and Mail Privacy Protection are not available. On the customization side, the OS supports dark mode, dynamic theming, theme customization, widgets, and customizable notifications, while productivity is aided by split-screen multitasking, Picture-in-Picture, full-page screenshots, a media picker, sharing intents, and the ability to play games while they are still downloading. Additional features include on-device machine learning, offline voice recognition, voice commands, Live Text, device tracking, a battery health check, an extra dim mode, a child lock, and multi-user support. However, the device does not support Wi-Fi password sharing, focus modes, app offloading, Quick Start, or direct OS updates from the vendor, and it cannot be used as a PC.

The Honor Play 60 Plus is equipped with a 6000 mAh rechargeable, non-removable battery that supports 35W fast charging, with a charger included in the box. A battery level indicator is present, making it easy to monitor remaining charge, though wireless charging is not supported.

The Honor Play 60 Plus includes a 3.5 mm headphone jack and stereo speakers, covering the essentials for wired listening and fuller audio output. It does not support any high-resolution Bluetooth audio codecs — aptX, aptX HD, aptX Adaptive, aptX Lossless, and LDAC are all absent — and there is no built-in radio.

The Honor Play 60 Plus supports 5G connectivity and accommodates two SIM cards, with cellular download speeds reaching up to 2500 Mbits/s and upload speeds up to 900 Mbits/s. Wireless networking is handled via Wi-Fi 4 (802.11n) and Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac), while Bluetooth 5 covers short-range connections, though NFC is not present. The device uses a USB Type-C port running USB 2.0 and includes a fingerprint scanner for biometric authentication, but lacks 3D facial recognition, an iris scanner, and HDMI output. For navigation, GPS, Galileo, a compass, and an accelerometer are all on board, while a gyroscope, barometer, infrared sensor, heart rate monitor, and ANT+ support are absent. The device also does not feature crash detection, emergency SOS via satellite, DLNA certification, motion or optical tracking, a built-in projector, or a stylus.

The Honor Play 60 Plus includes a video light for illumination during video recording, while its display is flat rather than curved and uses neither sapphire glass nor an e-paper panel.
