A new Honor smartphone with model number WDY-AN00 appeared on the official website of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technologies (MIIT) recently. Although photos of the certificates have not been published, some tech bloggers think it may be the Honor Play 40.

Expected features of Honor Play 40:

According to the specifications provided by MIIT, the model is equipped with an octa-core processor clocked at 2.2 GHz and does not support memory card expansion. It is equipped with a 5100mAh battery and supports 10W charging. The device is manufactured by Longqi and Guanghong Technology.

The phone is also expected to have a 6.56-inch LCD display with a resolution of 1612×720 pixels, a 13MP + 2MP dual primary camera and a 5MP front camera. A fingerprint scanner is built into the kit to unlock the device. The phone is 8.35mm thick, weighs around 188g and offers 4/6/8/12GB RAM and 64/128/256GB internal storage options.

The device comes with the HW-050200C02 charger, which has not been used in phones for a long time and has been removed from the Honor and Huawei stores. Most Honor smartphones support fast charging above 10W, and since the Honor 9X series there have been very few devices with this type of charging.

Honor’s latest phone with 10W charging support is the Honor Play 30 (VNE-AN00), which features a Qualcomm Snapdragon 480 Plus chipset, a 6.5-inch 1600×720 display, and a 5000mAh battery.
