Processor
This Honor is powered by a Huawei HiSilicon KIRIN 710 64-bit chip with a 2,2 GHz Quad-Core + 1,7 GHz Quad-Core core distribution. One of the main benefits of an octa-core phone is that it can provide improved performance. Because it has more cores, an octa-core phone can handle more complex tasks and multitasking more efficiently than a phone with a lower number of cores. This can make the overall user experience more smooth and responsive, and can improve the phone's ability to run demanding apps and games.
Another benefit of an octa-core phone is that it can provide better power efficiency. Because the CPU can handle tasks more efficiently, an octa-core phone can use less power to perform the same tasks as a phone with fewer cores. This can result in longer battery life and improved energy efficiency.
This combination therefore gives a maximum power of an octa-core processor with 4096 MB RAM. With a thickness of 8.13 millimeters, the device is not too thick. This phone weighs 176 grams.
Camera
The Play 3 4GB 64GB has a 48 megapixel camera, it is capable of capturing extremely high-resolution images, which means that you can take very detailed and sharp photos with a lot of visual information. This can be useful if you want to zoom in on an image or crop it without losing too much detail, or if you want to print the photo at a large size and still have it look good. In general, a higher megapixel count in a camera means that it is capable of capturing more detail, which can be especially useful in certain situations such as when you need to take a close-up photo or when you are shooting in low light. You can also use the 8 megapixel selfie camera for video calling, for example. Please note that this device does not have expandable memory and that you regularly transfer the photos to the computer or the cloud to have enough space.
