HONOR expands the Play5 series with the announcement of the Youth edition in China. Despite its name, the Play5 Youth has slightly better specs than the previously announced Play5 5G.

- MediaTek Dimensity 900 processor
- 8GB RAM
- 128GB/256GB storage
- 6.7-inch Full HD+ LCD display, 120Hz refresh rate
- 64-megapixel f/1.9 main camera with PDAF, 2-megapixel f/2.4 depth sensor

- 4G, 5G
- WiFi, Bluetooth 5.1, NFC
- Side-mounted fingerprint scanner
- 4300mAh battery
- 66w charging

Looking through the Play5 Youth’s spec sheet, this phone shares a lot of similarities with the X20 5GÂ that was announced last August save for having a dual-rear camera setup that ditches the 2-megapixel macro camera and a rectangular camera module.
That being said, the Play5 Youth is powered by a Dimensity 900 processor that is paired with 8GB RAM and up to 256GB internal storage. You get a large 6.7-inch Full HD+ LCD display with 120hz refresh rate, DCI-P3 coverage, and a pill-shaped punch-hole for the 16-megapixel selfie snapper.
The dual rear camera setup consists of a 64-megapixel main camera and 2-megapixel depth sensor, and keeping the lights on is a 4300mAh battery with support for 66w wired charging.
HONOR Play5 Youth Price
The HONOR Play5 Youth is priced at CNY 1800(~Php 14.4k) for the 8GB/128GB model and CNY 2000(~Php 16k) for the 8GB/256GB model. Both variants will go on sale in China on November 1.
