Price in Pakistan: Rs. 34,999
The Honor Play 20C is not your usual budget phone. Honor has actually put a second touch screen on the back of it. In a market where every phone under 35k looks the same, this one finally tries something different.
Honor Play 20C Price in Pakistan
The Play 20C has landed in Pakistan with a single variant – 4GB RAM + 64GB storage. Gizoye lists it at Rs. 34,999 while early retailer news mentions Rs. 34,500. Globally it started around $113 for the same 4/64GB trim.
For that price, you are paying for the battery and that rear display, not raw power.

Design and Build
It’s big and heavy, and that’s intentional. Dimensions are 168.3 x 78.5 x 8.6 mm and it weighs 210g, mostly because of the massive battery inside. Colors are Forest Green, Midnight Black, and Sunrise Gold.
Front is glass, back and frame are plastic. Fingerprint is side-mounted on the power button, not in-display. Simple and fast.
That Rear Display – The Main Highlight
This is the reason to talk about this phone. Next to the camera module, there is a 2.01-inch touch LCD. It’s fully capacitive, so you can set custom clocks, wallpapers, widgets, and see notifications.
The best use? Selfies with the main camera. You can frame yourself on the rear screen and get much better quality than the 5MP front camera.
Display on the Front
The main screen is a 6.78-inch TFT LCD with HD+ resolution of 720 x 1576 pixels. It’s a 90Hz panel with around 600 nits brightness and a punch-hole cutout. Don’t expect AMOLED blacks, but 90Hz does make scrolling feel smoother than typical budget phones.
Performance – Let’s Be Honest
Under the hood is the Unisoc T610 which is an entry-level octa-core chip clocked at 1.8 GHz with Mali-G52 GPU. ProPakistani notes the 4GB/128GB variant globally uses Unisoc T615.
Because the chip is basic, Honor ships it with Android 16 Go Edition. That’s the lightweight version of Android made for 3GB/4GB phones. Day-to-day apps, YouTube, WhatsApp will run fine, but this is not a gaming phone.
Memory
You get 64GB built-in with 4GB RAM and a dedicated microSDXC slot that supports up to 1TB expansion. That dedicated slot is rare and useful.
Camera
Rear: Single 13MP sensor with LED flash, 1080p video at 30fps. Front: 5MP with 1080p video.
On paper it looks weak, but that rear display trick saves it. Your rear selfies with the 13MP camera will look way better than the front shooter.
Battery – The Other Big Win
6000mAh typical battery with 15W wired charging. Honor says it will easily last a full day and a half, even with that big 6.78″ screen. Charging is slow though – 15W will take well over 2 hours for a full charge.
Connectivity is solid for budget: Wi-Fi a/b/g/n/ac dual-band, Bluetooth v5.0, USB Type-C 2.0 with OTG.
Who Should Buy It?
If you want a long-lasting battery and a fun, different feature under 35k, the Play 20C makes sense. If you want pure performance or a great camera system for the same money, you have better options.
