Did we just have the Honor Play price leak?

Like all the others, I’ve been waiting for the new Honor PLAY. And like all others, I too, am feeling like it’s been ages since the news broke. The reason is simple. Coming from the stable of Honor, it’s out of the ordinary. That’s the Honor custom. Naturally, Honor PLAY is no exception.

Like I’ve mentioned before, the Honor PLAY is one-of-a-kind. It’s stuffed with features & specs that will leave everybody stunned. The revolutionary Kirin 970 chipset, which is being introduced as one of the main attractions of the Honor PLAY, is bound to push the mercury through the roof of the market. Developed by R&D experts at Honor, it’s being hailed as the next gen chipset. Featuring ultra-fast connection, intelligent computing capability, HD audio-visual effects and a very long battery life. Powered with a 1.2 GBPS modem that perform 25 times faster than others. . It also empowers you with far better image recognition, voice interaction, and intelligent photography. In a nutshell, it brings you everything you had wished for in your smartphone.

The Honor PLAY also features AI powered by 16MP + 2MP rear dual camera. It can recognize 22 scenes from 500 scenarios. The AI Algorithm detects each and every scene with ultimate precision and sets the camera accordingly. Resulting in images that are nothing less than perfect. The built-in Electronic Image Stabilizer (EIS) ensures there are no jumps or jerks in videos.

The Honor PLAY brings you a new, groundbreaking technology called GPU Turbo. This technology ensures performance enhancement by 60% while reducing the SoC (System on Chip) energy consumption by 30%, exceeding the limits of the balance between the smartphone’s performance and energy consumption.

The Honor Play is going to be every gamer’s dream-come-true. It recognizes the gaming scenario of team battles, the use of special skills, switching and shooting guns, etc. and intelligently matches a vibration feedback that was, till date, a part of only gaming consoles. Thereby letting you experience 4D gaming – a first in smartphones.

Studded with a plethora of other features like 3D Face Recognition, Electronic Image Stabilizer (EIS) and an AI Gallery that helps you find a particular image from among the thousands stored in your phone.

So that leaves us with the ultimate question – how much will it cost. Will it be a pocket scorcher or friendly towards your wallet? Based on my experiences and knowledge, I can assure you that these features, all together in one model, commands a prohibitive price. But then, given the public friendly company that is Honor, it might just leave us surprised. Or should I say “Sur-priced”. My guess – a ballpark 25K to 28K. So let’s just wait and watch. Is it for me & you or only the fat cats?
