Performance and Software
Under the hood, the Honor Play 40 Plus is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 700 chipset, a widely recognized processor for affordable 5G smartphones. Built with a 7nm process, this chipset houses an octa-core CPU configuration of 2x2.2 GHz Cortex-A76 cores for performance and 6x2.0 GHz Cortex-A55 cores for efficiency. Coupled with a Mali-G57 MC2 GPU, it handles most apps and games competently, although one shouldn't expect flagship-level performance.
The device runs on Android 12 with Honor's Magic UI 6.1 overlay, offering a user-friendly interface with customization options to enhance the user experience. This software combination ensures a modern experience with the latest features from Android, although Google services might need alternative access routes due to restrictions on Honor devices.
