Honor has made the Play20C official as a budget smartphone with an unusual feature: a 2-inch touchscreen on the back. The phone is listed on Honor’s global website and closely matches the company’s X5d s, including its display, camera, battery and charging specifications.

The Play20C starts at NGN 149,900, or about $113, for the 4GB RAM and 64GB storage model in Nigeria, according to a local listing. Honor has not provided broader pricing details in the available information.

Honor Play20C specifications

The phone has a 6.78-inch IPS LCD with an HD+ resolution and a 90Hz refresh rate. Its rear panel includes a 2-inch touchscreen positioned next to the 50MP main camera. The secondary display gives users an additional interactive panel without relying solely on the main screen.

Power comes from a 6,000mAh battery, while wired charging is rated at 15W. These specifications position the Play20C around battery life and basic everyday use rather than high-end performance or fast charging.

Chipset options vary by storage configuration

Most Play20C configurations use the Unisoc T610 chipset. However, the 4GB RAM and 128GB storage version is listed with a slightly different Unisoc T615 processor.

The hardware otherwise matches the X5d s, making the Play20C appear to be its global counterpart. The available information identifies the chipset as the main specification difference between the two models.

Play20C colors and availability

Honor offers the Play20C in Forest Green, Sunrise Gold and Midnight Black. Sunrise Gold is the standout color difference compared with the X5d s, which does not offer that finish.

The phone is currently present on Honor’s global website, while the Nigerian listing provides a starting price for the 4GB and 64GB configuration. Availability and pricing in other markets were not specified.

With its large battery, 90Hz display and rear touchscreen, the Play20C gives Honor another low-cost phone aimed at users who want longer battery life and a distinctive design. Its unusual secondary display also separates it from more conventional budget smartphones, even though the remaining hardware is focused on affordability.
