Smartphones Review » Honor View 20, from the stable of Chinese smartphone manufacturer Huawei, is the first smartphone in India to feature a punch-hole screen. It is also the first Honor-branded smartphone powered by Huawei’s flagship Kirin 980 system-on-chip (SoC) -- a mobile process that powers Huawei’s premium flagship, the Mate 20 Pro (review) -- and a 48-megapixel primary camera sensor. For a midrange flagship, the Honor View 20 seems to be a feature-rich proposition. But is it? Let’s find out: Design •

The Honor View 20 has a glossy glass body and a metallic frame.

The glass body has a V-shaped gradient line design on the back.

These lines reflect when looked at from different angles, making the phone stand out from its glass-bodied peers. The phone’s punchhole display looks refreshing and is a step forward, compared to notch screens.

Display •

The Honor View 20 has a 6.4-inch IPS LCD screen with fullHD+ resolution, stretched in tall 19.75:9 aspect ratio. Considering the fact that most videos are created to work on 16:9 or 4:3 aspect ratio screens, the unconventional aspect ratio of the phone makes it less suitable for videos consumption.

Performance •

From handling day-to-day tasks to rendering graphic intensive gaming titles, the Honor View 20 performance is no less than that of a premium smartphone – glitch-free that is. The phone keeps apps active in background, handles multitasking efficiently, and works effortlessly all across.
