Late last month, Huawei sub-brand Honor launched its Honor V20 flagship smartphone in China. And now, at an event in Paris, Honor announced V20 for global markets under the moniker of Honor View20.
The Honor View20 is a flagship smartphone and is powered by Kirin 980 SoC which is the same chip that runs the show on Huawei’s Mate 20 and Mate 20 Pro. The smartphone comes in two memory configurations – 6 GB RAM + 128 GB storage and 8 GB RAM + 256 GB storage. The 256 GB storage variant is the Moschino Edition which is the most expensive variant.
That said, two of the biggest highlights of the Honor View20 are its display and the rear cameras. The View20 features a 6.4-inch display that has a resolution of 2310 x 1080 pixels. It has a hole (with a diameter of 4.5 mm) in the top-left corner which houses the 25 MP selfie camera. And, with a display like this, the View20 achieves an almost bezel-less look with a screen-to-body ratio of 91.82%.
The Honor View20 rocks a dual camera setup at the back which consists of one 48 MP camera and one 3D TOF camera which is used for features like depth sensing, skeletal tracking, and real-time motion capture. All these features are together used by the Magic AR feature.
Having said that, the View20 also comes with some AI-powered features like AIS Super Night Shot and AI Calorie Counting.

The glass-covered back of the View20 is also home to a fingerprint scanner and has a ‘V’ that looks cool and changes color when you look at it from different angles.
The Honor View20 runs Magic UI 2.0 which is based on Android Pie, and, it also comes with features like GPU Turbo 2.0, Link Turbo, AI Dual-frequency GPS, and liquid cooling system. Besides, it also supports Fortnite in 60 FPS and will offer exclusive access to Honor Guard Fortnite Outfit to its users.
The View20 is offered in four colors and comes packed with a 4000 mAh battery with support for 22.5W (4.5V/5A) fast charging.
