Summary
- The Honor Play 8A features a larger 6.09-inch IPS LCD display with a resolution of 720 x 1560 pixels, while the vivo Y69 has a smaller 5.5-inch IPS LCD with a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels.
- In terms of performance, the Play 8A is powered by the more advanced Mediatek MT6765 Helio P35 chipset, compared to the MT6750 in the Y69, resulting in better processing capabilities.
- Both phones have a 13 MP rear camera, but the Play 8A has a wider aperture at f/1.8, potentially allowing for better low-light performance, while the Y69 offers a higher 16 MP selfie camera.
- Battery capacity is slightly higher in the Y69 at 3000 mAh versus 3020 mAh in the Play 8A, but both lack fast charging.
- The Play 8A runs on Android 9.0 (Pie) with EMUI 9, while the Y69 operates on an older Android 7.0 (Nougat) with Funtouch 3.2, indicating a more updated software experience in the Honor device.
- Build quality favors the Y69 with Gorilla Glass 3 and an aluminum frame, compared to the plastic construction of the Play 8A.
