Honor View20 specifications and features
Coming to specifications, Honor View20 features a 6.4-inch Full HD+ LCD display with a resolution of 2310×1080 pixels, and 19.25:9 aspect ratio. The company says its solution is distinct from that of Samsung, and the selfie camera has a diameter of 4.5mm, which is smaller than Galaxy A8s’ front camera (6.7mm in diameter).
Under the hood is a Kirin 980 octa-core chipset built on 7nm processor, which also powers the flagship Huawei Mate 20 Pro and Honor Magic 2. There is an option to use a microSD card to expand the internal storage.
For shutterbugs, the View20 comes equipped with a 48-megapixel (Sony IMX586 sensor) main shooter with wider f/1.8 aperture and 78-degree wide field of view. The camera is aided by second 3D TOF (time-of-flight) sensor that can be used for 3D applications and mapping of objects. Up front, there is a 25-megapixel selfie snapper which is placed inside the display.
In the software department, the View20 runs Magic UI based on Android 9 Pie. To keep things ticking, there is a 4,000mAh battery with support for fast charging, and a 40W adapter comes bundled inside the box. The smartphone also supports Link Turbo, a new connection technology that allows both Wi-Fi, and 4G VoLTE to work simultaneously.
