HONOR Play20A
The HONOR Play20A is a 4G budget phone with a 6.9-inch 90Hz LCD display, a MediaTek Helio G81 chipset, and a 13MP main camera paired with a small 2-inch rear screen used as a selfie viewfinder.

Pros
- 6.9-inch 90Hz display paired with a small 2-inch rear screen that turns the 13MP main camera into a selfie camera
- 6000mAh battery for long everyday endurance
- Up to 128GB of storage, expandable by up to 1TB via a dedicated microSD slot that doesn't take up either SIM slot
- 3.5mm headphone jack retained despite the slim 8.4mm body
- Side-mounted fingerprint sensor for quick unlocking
Cons
- 4G only, no 5G connectivity
- Only 15W wired charging for a 6000mAh battery, and no wireless charging
- Base configuration ships with just 3GB RAM and 32GB storage; even the top 4GB/128GB tier runs on the modest MediaTek Helio G81
- Only IP52-rated, so it guards against light splashes rather than real dust/water resistance
