Huawei has been leading the market by introducing some great devices that have some of the most innovative features and some experimental changes that seem to be working for the company. The Honor View 20 is one of those flagship price devices that has some very unique features and is priced in the high end price range at about Rupees 42999.
The Honor View 20 has a 6.4 inch IPS LCD display with a 1080 x 2310 pixels resolution and a pixel density of 398 ppi. The display is better due to the resolution offered and you get a better brightness in the indoors and outdoors with the colors settings flexible from normal to vivid and more. The sunlight brightness is good and you can easily see what’s on the screen.
The Honor View 20 has a Hisilicon Kirin 980 chipset and runs on Octa-core (2x2.6 GHz Cortex-A76 & 2x1.92 GHz Cortex-A76 & 4x1.8 GHz Cortex-A55) processors with Mali-G76 MP10 supporting the graphics on the device. The OS on the device is the Android v9.0 Pie and has the Magic UI 2 overlayed on top. The EMUI is a good skin and you have many themes on offer to customize your phone. The 6GB and the 8GB RAM helps in running all the apps without any lag or frame drops. You can run games like PUBG and Asphalt at the best settings without worries.
The cameras on the Honor View 20 are the main highlighting feature of the device but there is also the colorful back design with the gradient finish and the glass back that makes you feel good about having this device in your hands. The triple cameras at the rear have a 48 MP lens with an aperture size of f/1.8, the camera produces a sharper and color corrected image that is very close to natural colors. The front facing camera lacks an autofocus but has a 25 MP lens that more than makes up for the image quality.
The battery on the Honor View 20 is around 4000mAh and is great to last for a full day with heavy usage. The battery will almost never run out of juice if you have the fast charger with you and it charges from 0 to 100 in just about 90 minutes or 1.5 hours and about 50% in 30 minutes, which is pretty good to make it last for those 8 hours out of the home on work and meetings.
The Honor View 20 is available in Black and Gold color variants.

Average screen to body ratio that is, approximately 82.0%.
398 ppi pixel density.
Good Neat design
Camera Pictures are decent.
4000mAh battery
CONS –
No autofocus on the front camera.
The Honor View 20 is a device which has the highest specifications along with triple rear cameras and a great design and aesthetic quality.
The software is snappy and works smoothly with multiple apps running in the background. There is no lag whatsoever and you can run applications on the best settings available.
The cameras are the main selling point of the device and they take some amazing shots with all the sophistry built in the AI and the cameras working in tandem.
The battery supports the device quite well and you won’t find it draining off before the day is over. The fast charger functionality is a big help and you can get 50% charge in 30 minutes.
Buy this device if you have the money to splurge otherwise it is just a device that does all the same things as the other mid range devices in the market
