The Honor View20 has a 6.4″ screen with a resolution of 2310×1080 pixels at 398 ppi and it adopt the punch hole design instead of the notch. The most exciting feature of this smartphone is it’s adoption of the SONY IMX586 sensor which is capable of shooting in 48 megapixel. It has a f/1.8 aperture and a 1/2 inch large CMOS size. The front camera is a 25 megapixel for better selfies with portrait lighting.

The smartphone comes with a 4000mAH battery which can charge up within 55% in 30 minutes with supercharge.

The main User interface

Good news for those who listen to music on the go, there is a 3.5mm jack. The phone supports dual nano-SIM and VoLTE. Other features include GPU Turbo 20 for optimal game play, a PC grade liquid cooling system to dissipate heat better than conventional designs.

Other software include a AI video editor and AI calorie counting which shows the calories of the food you shoot.*

The vivid dynamic Chevron shape colour gradient that stands out from the other smartphones.
