The thickness of the borders is quite similar and from the front we can clearly see that the Honor 20 is inspired by the View 20. While the View 20 is a little more imposing, there’s also little difference in weight and size.

One of the biggest differentiators is the location of the fingerprint sensor. While it was located on the back of the Honor View 20, it has been moved. on the edge of the smartphone Like the Galaxy S10e on the Honor 20.

Camera

On paper, the Honor 20 is sexier in this area. she likes quad photo sensor 48 MP Sony IMX586 main module and 16 MP ultra-wide-angle (117°) sensor (lens aperture at f/2.2), 2 MP Depth Assist sensor aperture f/2.4 and f/1.8 aperture combined with 2 MP Macro aperture f/2.4 you ask. But without telephoto zoom or optical stabilization, the Honor 20 isn’t all that incredible in photography. Well, nothing more, it sometimes gives excellent results in good conditions, but when it starts to get dark it proves to be average. Also, the ultra-wide-angle feature doesn’t work miracles.
