The Honor 20 ticks most of the flagship design boxes, with a metal chassis constrained by glass to the rear and front. On the front you have a terribly modern edge-to-edge display with a punch-hole notch in the top left corner.

The secondary ultra-wide-angle camera is okay but far from amazing. The photos it produces in daylight are acceptable, albeit a little soft, but in low-light conditions and indoors, a big drop in quality compared to the primary camera is noticeable.
Video recording can be done at up to p 60fps using the megapixel camera, and the resulting footage is certainly acceptable. The Honor 9X Pro relies on one bottom-firing speaker for audio.
