Honor V20 Officially Launched In China
Huawei’s sub-brand Honor has today unveiled the Honor V20 in China.
The Honor V20 features an in-hole All-View display for minimal bezels. It has a 6.4-inch, Full HD+ display, and uses nanolithography for its rear side to attain an improved design for the smartphone. In addition, the smartphone is armed with a 48-megapixel (f/1.8) rear snapper along with TOF stereo deep sensor. The front shooter is rated at 25-megapixel f/2.0 with AI-supported camera features. This camera uses Sony's IMX586 sensor, but what's new is the neighboring time-of-flight 3D camera. Honor claims the latter is rated with millimeter accuracy, and it offers quick AR measurements, optimized action shots plus full-body skeletal tracking -- this lets you slim your entire body down, because facial beautification is so last year already. When the phone is docked with a larger display, it can even run motion tracking games to let you dance along.
In order to have a better signal reception, the View 20 houses a triple WiFi antenna so that your hand is less likely blocking the signal, thus solving a common pain point for online gamers. There's also a liquid cooling tube that helps suck the heat away from key components like the chipset, camera and power management chip.
A Link Turbo technology analyzes users’ data use and switch between Wi-Fi and mobile data, along with download speed boost.
The Honor V20 is powered by the company’s octa-core Kirin 980 processor with Mali-G76 GPU. It also comes in three RAM/ROM variants: 6GB/128GB for CNY 2,999, 8GB/128GB for CNY 3,499, and 8GB/256GB (Moschcino Edition) for CNY 3,999.
The device is backed by a 4,000mAh battery and runs the company’a Magic UI 2.0.1 based on Android 9.0 Pie. It comes with various connectivity options such as Wi-Fi 802.11 a/n/ac, Bluetooth v5.0, GPS, GLONASS, AGPS, NFC, Type-C port, and a 3.5mm audio jack.
Additionally, the Honor V20 supports a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner.
The Honor V20 is available for pre-orders and will be available to buy, starting December 28 in China.
In related news, Huawei announced today that shipments of its smartphones in 2018 have exceeded 200 million units. In recent months the company became the No. 2 supplier of smartphones, ahead of Apple and behind Samsung, marking a remarkable progress Huawei has made since it entered this market eight years ago.
