Summary
- The Honor Play 8A features a plastic build with a glass front, while the Oppo F3 has a more premium aluminum back and frame, contributing to a sturdier feel.
- In terms of display, the Play 8A has a larger 6.09-inch IPS LCD with a resolution of 720 x 1560 pixels, compared to the F3's 5.5-inch display at 1080 x 1920 pixels, offering higher pixel density and clarity.
