The resolution of this display is 1080 x 2400 Pixels, it has a density of approximately 399 PPI, which again isn’t far from being par for the course on most Android smartphones in this category.
On the rear, we have a subtle gradient design on which you will find a camera module with dual cameras and an LED flash. You will also find the Honor branding, which indicates it’s an Honor smartphone.
The colour options available on the Honor Play 5T Pro include Magic Black, Titanium Silver, which could end up being a dilemma for people who aren’t into any of the colours.
The Cameras
The cameras on the Honor Play 5T pro are far from being exceptional. It sort of falls in line with one of the most subtle cameras you will find on mid-range smartphones.

Moving upfront, we have a single 16MP camera with an aperture of f/2.0. This camera is capable of recording videos up to 1080p @ 30fps.
