The Chinese giant had its phone’s home debut back in December, and is now gradually pushing it to other markets. Honor View 20 or known as V20 in the homeland is a pack of neoteric features. So, Let’s not burn the daylight and get to know the phone.
Honor View 20 Features
More or less, the phone could be famous for its camera. Right of the bat, you would be awed by its 4.5mm 25MP punch-hole camera which is housed in the display. So, no notch would be stating the obvious. A very thin bezel and the All-view 6.4-inch full-HD+ (1080×2310 pixels) display with 19:5:9 aspect ratio means only one thing- It seeks your attention.
The rear 48-megapixel shooter with Sony IMX596 image sensor magnifies its uniqueness. The pixel binning technology baked into the camera combines four pixels into one super pixel meaning you get better photos. Thanks to the intuitive AI, the phone can recognize over 60 categories and 1500 scenarios in real time.
