Sporting a brand-new design, the key objectives of the HONOR VIEW 20, front-runner from the HONOR range are performance, style and photography and clearly, our main interests lie within the imaging capabilities of this device.

This is the first flagship device to come from the doors of HONOR since the VIEW 10, which was almost a year ago, now. This was a handset that sported the first Kirin 970 chip along with the first AI camera in the smartphone brand’s range.

The new leading handset from the Chinese manufacturer comes packed with buzzy AI-photo features. Beyond its high megapixel count, clever stabilisation and high-speed, high-performance in general; the HONOR VIEW 20 also promises to deliver a full 60 scene recognitions within 1500 categories!
