The Honor Play4 Pro brings flagship-tier computing silicon, elite low-light photography, and dual selfie cameras to the performance-driven sub-flagship space. At its foundation is Huawei's flagship 7nm HiSilicon Kirin 990 5G octa-core processor, incorporating two high-performance Cortex-A76 cores clocked at 2.86 GHz, two Cortex-A76 cores at 2.09 GHz, and four Cortex-A55 efficiency cores at 1.86 GHz, paired with the 16-core Mali-G76 graphics engine and dual-core DaVinci NPU. Supported by 8GB of LPDDR4X RAM and 128GB of fast UFS 2.1 flash storage, it delivers responsive 3D gaming, fluid app handling, and fast multi-band 5G performance running on Magic UI 3.1 based on Android 10. Thermal regulation is maintained via a PC-level liquid cooling tube combined with multilayer graphite sheets.
Visuals are showcased on a 6.57-inch Full HD+ IPS LCD display (1080 x 2400 pixels) with a 20:9 aspect ratio, 401 ppi pixel density, and an 84.5% screen-to-body ratio. Protected by Corning Gorilla Glass, the screen includes a pill-shaped punch-hole cutout for the dual front cameras and supports DCI-P3 wide color gamut coverage and eye comfort certifications to reduce visual fatigue.
In the camera department, the smartphone is equipped with a versatile dual rear camera array headlined by the acclaimed 40 MP Sony IMX600 RYYB SuperSensing primary sensor (f/1.8 aperture, 1/1.7" sensor size, Laser AF, PDAF). The custom RYYB color filter allows up to 40% more light intake compared to standard RGB sensors, delivering exceptional night captures. It is paired with an 8 MP telephoto camera (f/2.4 aperture, OIS) offering 3x optical zoom, 5x hybrid zoom, and up to 30x digital zoom. The rear camera supports 4K video recording at up to 60fps with gyro-EIS and 960fps super slow motion. On the front, a dual selfie setup includes a 32 MP primary shooter (f/2.0) alongside an 8 MP ultra-wide angle camera (f/2.4) with 4K recording capabilities for wide group selfies and vlogging.
Powering the smartphone is a 4200 mAh lithium-polymer battery engineered within an 8.9mm profile weighing 213 grams. It supports 40W wired SuperCharge technology, capable of replenishing up to 70% of battery capacity in just 30 minutes, alongside 5W reverse wired charging via OTG. Essential connectivity and security features include a fast side-mounted capacitive fingerprint scanner, a dedicated 3.5mm headphone jack, full-function NFC, Wi-Fi 5, Bluetooth 5.1, and Dual 5G SIM standby connectivity.
