Any Honor play users here? Or other mid-range android users?

I'm currently on a low end device, load times are **** and I've been using this for over a year but it's time, I'm gonna upgrade very soon, i got my eyes on Honor Play because it has a high performance processor at an affordable price and even the cheapest apple device (6+) costs 4 months of my home's rent.

So my question is how is the performance on that thing? How does the notch interact with the game? How good are the loading times? Any input on other mid-range phones is also welcome.
