“Honor 20 series is expected to come with Kirin 980 SoC, side-mounted fingerprint sensor, and quad-rear camera setup”
Honor 20 series is scheduled to go official later today, and at this point, we do know quite a few details about the flagships, including its processor, camera setup, and design. Now, hours ahead of the unveiling, promotional renders of the Honor 20 surfaced online, courtesy of noted tipster Ishan Agarwal. Furthermore, the press images reiterate the punch-hole design, side-mounted fingerprint sensor, and quad-rear camera setup.
The Honor 20 is expected to sport a 6.26-inch IPS LCD display and instead of an in-display fingerprint scanner, the handset rocks a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, as confirmed from the Flipkart listing yesterday. The rear features a Huawei P30 Pro-like vertical quad camera setup consisting of a 48MP primary sensor, a 16MP super-wide-angle lens, a 2MP depth unit, and 2MP macro shooter. Like the most Honor and Huawei phones, the Honor 20 too could have gradient colours with a glass back.
It is expected to pack 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, but there might be other variants as well. A 3,750mAh battery paired with 22.5W SuperCharge technology support is reported to fuel the phone. The handset is likely to run Android 9.0 with EMUI 9.0 skin on top out of the box. For selfies, there is a 32MP front-facing shooter. Going by the renders, the Honor 20 could be available to purchase in Midnight Black, Sapphire Blue, and a white variant.
Separately, Honor 20 Pro renders are also leaked online, revealing a similar punch-hole design with a reduced chin. It also has laser autofocus for fast and accurate focusing. It is said to rock a quad-camera setup at the rear with 48MP Sony IMX586 primary sensor with f/1.4 aperture, a secondary 16-megapixel ultra wide angle shooter with 117-degree field of view, an 8MP telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom, OIS, and a 2MP 3D ToF sensor with f/2.4 aperture. The Honor 20 Pro variant could ship with more RAM and storage. We should know more details later today.
