It will always be useful to have a device for measuring the temperature at hand. Of course, its usefulness depends on the accuracy of the measurement. Honor claims that the sensor can measure temperature in the range from -20 degrees Celsius to +100 degrees Celsius with an accuracy of a tenth of a degree.

Except for the temperature sensor, the new Honor Play 4 Pro looks like a typical mid-range smartphone. The device is equipped with a display with a resolution of Full HD +, a Kirin 990 processor, 8 GB RAM, a dual camera, and a 5G modem.
