Summary
- The Honor Play 3 features a larger 6.39-inch IPS LCD display with a resolution of 720 x 1560 pixels, while the Huawei P30 lite New Edition has a smaller 6.15-inch IPS LCD with a higher resolution of 1080 x 2312 pixels, resulting in better pixel density.
- Both devices are powered by the Kirin 710 chipset, but the P30 lite offers more RAM options, up to 128GB, compared to the Play 3's maximum of 64GB.
- In terms of camera capabilities, both have a 48 MP main sensor, but the P30 lite includes a wider 120˚ ultrawide lens and supports gyro-EIS for video stabilization.
- The Play 3 has a larger 4000 mAh battery, while the P30 lite has a smaller 3340 mAh battery but supports faster 18W charging.
- Both run on Android 9.0 with EMUI, but the P30 lite is upgradable to Android 10, offering a potentially better software experience.
- Build quality favors the P30 lite with a glass back, making it feel more premium compared to the Play 3's plastic back.
