Still, the Honor 20 is currently available to buy in the UK although not in the US , so let's evaluate it as a handset. The Honor 20 has a 6. The Honor 20 has the same little cut-out camera in the top left of the screen as found on the Honor View It's a clever design feature that makes for maximum screen usage, and I rather like it.
The View 20 has a 3.
December 24, Blog. Why HONOR View20 is the Best Camera Phone in The Honor 20 Pro is much better, and the Honor 20 Lite is much It's fast and reliable, while being easy to locate even when not looking at the phone. (as with the almost identical EMUI software found on Huawei phones) is.
The glass back is reflective and somewhat slippery in the hand. It was also quite good at collecting fingerprints. I was sent a Midnight Black version which has a rather slate grey appearance.
There is also a bold and vibrant Sapphire Blue option. As on the flagship Honor 20 Pro, the Honor 20 has its fingerprint sensor embedded in the power button on the right edge of the handset.
I'm not a fan of this location: as I noted in my review of the Sony Xperia X1 , this is not as convenient as in-screen or rear-mounted sensors for left-handed users. Even as a right-hander I never really took to it. The fingerprint reader is on the right-hand side, and there are four cameras at the back: 48MP wide angle; 16MP ultra-wide-angle; 2MP macro; and 2MP depth sensing. The 6.
The IPS screen is sharp and bright, and near enough to edge-to-edge As with the Honor 20 Pro there are four cameras at the back, although the details are not the same. Honor's new phone feels as fast and capable as the likes of the Mate 20 Pro that are priced significantly higher, making it incredibly good value. The Honor View 20 comes with a 4,mAh battery that easily provides the best life we have ever tested on a smartphone, even surpassing the astounding Huawei Mate 20 Pro in longevity.
The Chinese flagship easily lasted us a day and a half of heavy use, making it an incredibly appealing option for anyone that frequently goes long periods away from an outlet. However, in our opinion supreme battery life is a worthy trade-off for a slight deterioration in screen quality.
The View 20 has stamina that surpasses more premium flagships such as the Galaxy Note 9, Mate 20 Pro and iPhone Xs Max and Honor should be applauded for delivering such endurance. The handset comes with Sony's megapixel IMX sensor the firm claims offers supreme clarity. In practise, the View 20 delivers a great camera for fans but it is certainly outclassed by more premium rivals such as the Pixel 3. The Honor View 20 is the perfect summation of the fact smartphone photography is as much about great software as it is hardware.
While the Pixel 3 delivers a seemingly much less capable And while the View 20 does harness artificial intelligence AI in an attempt to improve shot quality overall, it simply cannot compete with Google's offering.
With that said, the standalone sensor on the rear of the Chinese handset is still capable of taking gorgeous snaps with impressive levels of detail. Due to the size of the sensor, the View 20 ensures items look sharp even when the user zooms in significantly. This means the hardware is commendable for those that frequently display images to friends and family on larger monitors for instance. The View 20 also takes applaudable HDR shots and has a night mode, although the latter was certainly hit and miss for us.
In some low-light scenes the View 20 had the tendency to brighten up some shots too much, meaning subjects emerged looking white and lacking detail. Although the View 20 does not have a telephoto sensor or offer any form of optical zooming, it does do a decent job of capturing objects close-up. While details definitely degrade when the user zooms in fully, during our testing images were still perfectly usable.
November 15, The Android 10 update for the OnePlus 6 and 6T has been halted due to various bugs. Android operating system. The fact Honor has already had the courtesy to apply a shield on the front of the device is a nice touch. If Huawei intends to move ahead with updates and brings users onboard the Android R bandwagon, it will have to wait until the public release which happens around August every year. The Honor 20 and Honor 20 Pro will receive security updates and after-sales support, Huawei has confirmed. Furthermore, Huawei and Honor can no longer be a member of the Android beta programs starting with the next commercial release of Android i.
In addition to its main shooter, the View 20 also comes with a time-of-flight TOF 3D stereo camera on its rear that Honor claims can be used for object scanning and motion gaming. However, in practise we were never tempted to the use the hardware thanks to its lack of supported software. Moreover, the limited use cases for the TOF sensor feel incredibly gimmicky and leave the lens feeling like wasted potential. In our opinion Honor would have been better served by adding a secondary telephoto or wide-angle sensor to the View 20 and it is disappointing this is not the case.
The Chinese phone's megapixel front-facing camera is certainly capable in good conditions but struggles when light is hard to come by.
The View 20's selfie sensor also does not perform the best with HDR situations; during our testing backgrounds had less detail than we would have liked. However, the firm does seem to have toned down the level of smoothing that occurs when taking front-facing photos. For instance, the phone failed to recognise the fluffy exterior of the coat we were wearing and applied bokeh over some segments of it.
That means the pricier model should only be purchased by those that truly need the added storage space. It is worth noting the sapphire blue model of the View 20, that offers a more noticeable chevron design, is only available for the more expensive variant. The entry-level View 20 is only available in sapphire blue and midnight black finishes that are more subtle. However, it is worth noting the appealing price does come at the expense of any wireless charging capabilities or a water resistance certification.
