Honor Play 60A 5G certification confirms key specs: bigger yet slimmer and lighter

Honor looks to be preparing another budget phone for its Play lineup. A new model — likely the Honor Play 60A — has popped up on China’s Telecom Equipment Terminal Network, giving us a first look at what to expect before the official announcement.

According to the listing, the phone (model NLA-AN00) measures 167 × 77 × 7.89 mm and weighs just 186g, making it slimmer and lighter than the current Play 60. For reference, the Play 60 comes in at 8.4mm thick and 197g.

Up front, the alleged Play 60A packs a 6.75-inch display running at 720 × 1600, and inside is an unnamed octa-core chip that’s clocked at 2.2 GHz and supports 5G connectivity. For those wondering what the catch is: the battery is a 5130mAh rated unit, smaller than the Play 60’s 6000mAh cell.

Camera specs are modest: a 13MP main shooter on the back and a 5MP selfie camera, lining up with the series’ budget-friendly focus.

For comparison, the Play 60 — launched in April — came with MediaTek’s Dimensity 6300 and a 6.61-inch LCD that hit up to 120Hz. Pricing started at 1199 yuan for 6GB+128GB and went up from there, with three colors on offer: Midnight Black, Jade Dragon Snow, and Dawn Green.

The Play 60A seems to slim things down while slightly enlarging the display, though details like refresh rate, storage options, and charging speed haven’t surfaced yet. Still, the overall approach is familiar: large screen, decent battery, and everyday performance at a wallet-friendly price.

Honor hasn’t said when the Play 60A will go official, but with certification already complete, an announcement shouldn’t be far away.
