Honor Play 8A Performance and Software

Performance and Software

Under the hood, the Honor Play 8A runs on a Mediatek MT6765 Helio P35 chipset, coupled with an octa-core CPU configuration consisting of four Cortex-A53 cores clocked at 2.3 GHz and another four at 1.8 GHz. This setup is adequate for handling everyday tasks such as browsing, social media, and light gaming. With 3GB of RAM, multitasking is generally smooth, although the device may struggle with more demanding applications.

The phone operates on Android 9.0 (Pie) overlaid with EMUI 9, providing a user-friendly interface with customization options and useful features. However, users should not expect the latest updates, given the age and budget category of the device.
