It is a smartphone to surely add to the list of the other top of the line devices, thanks to a data sheet riches of functions and in line with the latest trends both aesthetical and technical.

Back camera

Maybe it is the most astonishing characteristic of Honor View 20: it is, infact, equipped with a back camera of 48 Megapixels.

The sensor is Sony and it’s called IMX586 which, combined with a sensor TOF 3D, allows to make a three-dimensional scan of the subject in the shot, by catching more details.

In the night mode, the maximum resolution achievable is 12 Megapixels, a really satisfying result.

Curiosity

The teaser image of the invite to the presentation of the new Honor View 20 reveals the presence of the front camera in a hole on the display.

Looking well the image we can see how it is masked by the Moon, so to create the doubt on the most carefull minds and to not spoil the surprise effect during the presentation.

As follow the comment of Andrea Galeazzi, passionated of technology and blogger, which already had the possibility to try the new Honor View 20:

During the trip to the CES in LAS Vegas I brought with me the Honor View 20 to try it on the field. It worked really well, especially about the battery. That surprised me!

Great pictures, the general fluidity, the speed and, especially, really great the design. It was really appreciated by all…

But for the final review I let you wait for the review that will arrive in few days. And let’s meet the 22nd of January, in Paris, for the official launch!!
