Honor View 20 launched by the Huawei sub-brand in India just a day ago, and now it has gone on sale on Amazon India and Hi Honor Store. The top-end phone’s big highlights include a ‘hole-punch’ selfie camera, a 48-megapixel Sony IMX586 sensor, Huawei’s flagship-grade HiSilicon Kirin 980 SoC, and 8GB of RAM. The Honor View 20 also packs a 4,000mAh battery with support for fast charging (4.5V/5A). To recall, the Honor View 20 smartphone was launched in China last month as the Honor V20.
The Honor View 20 has a 6.4-inch IPS display (2310 x 1080 resolution). Switch this on, and you’ll immediately notice it is bright and colours are rich. Perhaps a tad too rich if you like to keep them a tad more subdued. In fact, look closely and you will notice a slight discoloration of the pixels around the front camera, but that could perhaps be to not spoil the front facing camera’s line-of-sight by reducing the brightness of that thin layer of pixels. The other OCD-tickling observation is that the bezel below the screen is thicker than the bezel above the screen. The screen is bright and comfortable to use in most lighting scenarios, except under bright sunlight, where reflections do tend to get in the way from time to time, depending on what you are watching. That said, this display has no obvious shortcomings—it is great to look at, adequately sharp, vibrant colours and works with a variety of content.
