Following a lull after the launch of the Honor View 20 earlier this year, Huawei’s sub-brand Honor is back with a bang as it launched its latest flagships, the Honor 20 and Honor 20 Pro alongside the Honor 20 Lite, at an event held in London today. Interestingly, the Honor 20 series launched just a day after Google withdrew Android support for Huawei.
Before talking about the Honor 20 and 20 Pro, let’s make it clear that the Honor 20 Lite has been relaunched at the event as the latter was already launched in Malaysia and the UK earlier this month with triple rear cameras, 32MP selfie camera, 3,400mAh battery, and Kirin 710 SoC.
Coming to the Honor 20 and 20 Pro, both the phones come with Pro-Grade Quad-Camera System but the regular Huawei 20 features slightly lower camera specifications. The selfie camera, however, remains the same for the devices.
Both the Honor 20 and 20 Pro flaunt IPS LCD display with 4.5mm punch-hole cutout on the top left corner for the selfie camera. The devices sport a 6.26-inch display with full HD+ 2340x1080p resolution and 91.6 percent screen-to-body ratio.
