Honor Play 60 and Play 60m Launched with MediaTek Dimensity 6300 SoC

Honor has officially revealed two new budget-friendly smartphones in China — the Honor Play 60 and Honor Play 60m. Both phones are packed with solid features like large batteries, smooth displays, and useful smart buttons, making them great options for everyday users. Whether you’re a student, casual gamer, or someone who just wants a reliable phone without breaking the bank, these new additions might be worth checking out.

Display

Both the Honor Play 60 and Play 60m come with 6.61-inch HD+ TFT LCD displays. The resolution stands at 720×1,604 pixels, which is decent for casual media consumption. But what stands out is the 120Hz refresh rate — a feature not commonly found at this price range. It makes scrolling and animations smoother, which is perfect for social media and gaming.

They also come with up to 1,010 nits of peak brightness, DC flicker-free dimming, and modes like low blue light, reader mode, and natural light eye protection. So, whether you’re binge-watching or reading an article in bed, your eyes will thank you.

Performance

Under the hood, both phones run on the MediaTek Dimensity 6300 chipset, paired with an ARM G57 MC2 GPU. The combo handles multitasking well, and it should be fine for moderate gaming or streaming.

Storage and RAM options are flexible too. You get up to 12GB of RAM and up to 256GB of internal storage. That means smooth performance and enough space for apps, photos, and videos without constantly clearing stuff out.

Variant	RAM	Storage	Price (CNY)	Price (INR approx)
Play 60	6GB	128GB	1,199	Rs. 14,100
Play 60	8GB	256GB	1,399	Rs. 16,400
Play 60m	6GB	128GB	1,699	Rs. 19,900

Play 60m	12GB	256GB	2,599	Rs. 30,500

Battery

Now this is a big one — literally. Both phones pack a 6,000mAh battery, which is more than enough for two days of regular use. They support 5V/3A wired charging via USB Type-C, which isn’t blazing fast but gets the job done steadily. For users who hate carrying power banks, this is a solid win.

Camera

On the camera front, you get a 13-megapixel main rear sensor with an f/1.8 aperture. It’s supported by a 5-megapixel front-facing camera with an f/2.2 lens. Both cameras can shoot 1080p video. While it won’t rival flagship-level photography, the setup is decent for casual snapshots and video calls.

Both models also feature AI-powered enhancements to boost imaging quality and user productivity — helpful for optimizing scenes or organizing your shots.

Features

One interesting new addition is a physical shortcut button on the left edge of the phones. You can use it for quick tasks like launching apps, adjusting brightness, or even making calls — a handy feature if you’re into efficiency and custom shortcuts.

You also get MagicOS 9.0 based on Android 15 out of the box. That means a fresh software experience with smart features tailored to daily use.

Build

In terms of design, both models weigh 197g and measure 8.39mm thick — not bad considering the huge battery inside. They’re IP64 rated for dust and splash resistance and include side-mounted fingerprint sensors for added security.

Color choices for the Play 60 include Moyan Black, Yulong Snowy, and Xiaoshan Green. The Play 60m adds a bit more flair with Ink Rock Black, Jade Dragon Snow, and Morning Glow Gold options.

Connectivity is well-rounded too: 5G, Wi-Fi 5, Bluetooth 5.3, GPS, OTG, USB Type-C, and even a 3.5mm headphone jack — yes, that still exists.

The Honor Play 60 and 60m check a lot of boxes — strong battery, smooth display, good storage, and smart features — all while keeping the price fair. Whether you’re upgrading from an older budget device or just want a solid backup phone, these two are worth a look.
