With the Huawei P30 series impressing the entire industry, it’s time for the company’s sub-brand to introduce their own flagship line-up — the Honor 20 and 20 Pro.
Both the Honor 20 and 20 Pro are powered by the trusty Kirin 980 octa-core processor. They also come with a 6.26-inch FHD+ LCD display with a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, unlike the OLED screens and in-display biometric sensors on the Huawei P30 series.
But unlike their flagship cousins from the Huawei camp, the Honor 20 and 20 Pro will feature a punch-hole display design, which houses their 32-megapixel selfie cameras.
The key difference here is in the main cameras, build, and battery capacity. With the Honor 20 Pro, you’re getting a 48-megapixel primary camera, with 4-axis OIS, and a really bright f/1.4 aperture. There’s also a 16-megapixel ultra-wide camera, an 8-megapixel telephoto lens that also has OIS, and a 2-megapixel camera that is designed to do macro shots.
Meanwhile, the Honor 20 only gets an f/1.8 aperture on its 48-megapixel primary camera. It also lacks the telephoto camera that the latter had, but gets to have a dedicated depth-sensor. The 16-megapixel ultra-wide and 2-megapixel macro shooters were also kept.
Moreover, since the Pro model has a bigger 4,000mAh battery, it’s thicker at 8.44mm. That’s versus the 7.87mm of depth on the non-Pro model with its smaller 3,750mAh battery. Both models will be bundled with 22.5W SuperCharge support.
