Honor Play 10C goes official with a massive 6,000mAh battery

Honor has announced the release of the new budget phone — the Honor Play 10C — in China. It brings quite a few upgrades over last year's Honor Play 9C, so let's learn everything about the new Honor Play 10C, including its expected price in Nepal.

Honor Play 10C Overview

Design and Display

There have been quite a few changes regarding the design this time. Both for the front camera and the ones at the back. So the Honor Play 10C has a hole-punch cutout instead of the teardrop design, while the circular rear camera module looks slightly bigger now. It uses a dual-ring design with the main lens, flash, and decorative element on a textured back for a more modern look. Honor Play 10C comes in a total of 3 colors — White, Black, and Green. It's also IP64 dust and splash resistant, meaning it can withstand some water splashes, but it's not designed for prolonged rain exposure. Up front, it has a 6.61-inch TFT LCD display with up to 120Hz refresh rate and 1,010 nits of full-screen brightness. You may also like :
