Last year in January, Huawei sub-brand Honor launched the Honor View10 smartphone in India. Now today, at an event in New Delhi, Honor has launched View10’s successor – the Honor View20 – in India. The Honor View20 is a global variant of the Honor V20 that was launched in China late last month.
Like the View10, the View20 is also a flagship smartphone. It is powered by Kirin 980 SoC which is backed by Mali-G76 GPU and is paired with 6 or 8 GB RAM. The 6 GB RAM variant comes with 128 GB of internal storage whereas the 8 GB RAM variant comes with 256 GB of internal storage.
The Honor View20 is a looker. On the front, it boasts a 6.4-inch All-View Display that has a resolution of 2310 x 1080 pixels. The display also has a hole of 4.5 mm diameter in the top-left corner which accommodates the selfie camera. The View20 has a screen-to-body ratio of 91.82% and looks almost bezel-less.
Round the back, the Honor View20 flaunts a glass body with a ‘V’ that changes color when looked at from different angles. The back of the smartphone is also home to a dual camera setup which is placed in a horizontal orientation in the top-left corner. This dual camera setup is a combination of one 48 MP camera and one 3D TOF camera; the latter is used for depth sensing, skeletal tracking, and real-time motion capture.
Having said that, the Honor View20 becomes the first smartphone in India to rock a 48 MP camera.

On the software front, the Honor View20 runs MagicUI 2.0.1 which is based on Android 9.0 Pie. The smartphone is offered in Sapphire Blue, Midnight Black, and Phantom Blue colors. And, fueling the entire package is a 4000 mAh battery which draws power from a USB Type-C port. That said, it’s worth noting that the Indian variant supports 20W (5V/4A) fast charging as opposed to 22.5W (4.5V/5A) on the Chinese variant, i.e., the V20.
