The Honor View 20, the successor of the Honor View 10, is touted to be the second device from Huawei to feature what the company calls an ‘All-View Display’ that will feature a hole drilled at the top-left corner to house the front camera. However, the camera hole on the View 20’s screen will be considerably smaller at 4.5mm in diameter, compared to the 6mm wide cut-out present on upcoming smartphones from rival brands.

In the imaging department, the Honor View 20 will feature a 48MP rear camera that will be powered by Sony’s IMX586 CMOS sensor with 0.8-micron pixel size. Honor claims that the View 20’s 48MP rear camera will deliver stunning results, and in low-light conditions, it will rely on a technique called ‘Pixel Binning’ that will merge four 0.8um pixels into a single 1.6um unit to capture more details and deliver high-quality 12MP photos in low light conditions.

The View 20 will also come with a camera feature called ’48MP AI HDR’ that will let users capture AI-assisted, high-definition 48MP pictures.

The upcoming Honor smartphone will also come with a ‘Link Turbo’ feature that will combine the LTE and WiFi signals to provide a faster download speed.
