Honor has listed the Play 20C on its global website, which confirms a global launch according to the listing. The phone sits in the entry-level segment and comes with a secondary display on the back.
The rear touchscreen measures 2.01 inches with a resolution of 240 x 296 pixels, and can be used as a camera viewfinder, for incoming call alerts, and for media playback control. The front screen is a 6.78-inch LCD with a resolution of 1,576 x 720 pixels and typical brightness of 600 nits.
Memory configurations include 3GB/32GB, 4GB/64GB, and 4GB/128GB, with storage expandable by up to 1TB via microSD card. The 4GB/128GB configuration uses a Unisoc T615 chipset, while the other configurations use a Unisoc T610.
It packs a 6,000mAh battery with 15W wired charging, and supports 4G connectivity but lacks 5G. Other features include a 5MP front camera, a 3.5mm headphone jack, an IP52 rating, a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, and it runs Android 16 Go edition.
It resembles the Honor X5ds launched in South Africa, but has a 13MP rear camera instead of 50MP, and the X5ds is limited to the Unisoc T610. Both come in Forest Green and Midnight Black, while the Play 20C also offers Sunrise Gold. Source: Huzefa Baloch on Notebookcheck, published 10/07/2026.
