In terms of screen, we have the same 6.8-inch IPS LCD panel with FHD+ resolution. The Honor Play 8T offers brightness ranging from 2 nits to 850 nits, to better suit a wider range of usage conditions. In addition, the screen is flat along with a centre-aligned hole-punch camera cutout. Meanwhile, it is only available in three colour options: Streaming Silver, Mo Yuqing (Green), and Magic Night Black.
Similarly, the Honor Play 8T features a dual-camera setup on the back. The primary lens is a 50MP unit, while the secondary camera has the same 2MP depth sensor. Meanwhile, on the front, we have a single 8MP selfie camera.

Display and Design
As I mentioned, the new Honor Play 8T is almost the same phone as the Play 50 Plus, and you can see it right from the get-go. The new Honor phone has a rounded rectangle shape while flaunting the same reflective wavy design on the back. It skips out on the camera island and features two large camera cutouts.Performance and Camera
Honor has opted for the MediaTek Dimensity 6080 chipset this time around. This 6nm octa-core processor has two ARM Cortex-A76 and six ARM Cortex-A55 cores. It edges out its 6020 sibling in terms of performance albeit not by much. The new Honor Play 8T is also available in two configurations: 8GB + 256GB, and 12GB + 256GB. However, it offers 8GB extendable virtual RAM. It comes with the Magic OS 7.2 based on Android 13.- You may also like
