Overview of the smartphone Huawei Honor View 20

The promising company Huawei is a fan of setting very difficult goals. In pursuit of the best, the organization is rapidly gaining momentum and increasing the demand of satisfied customers. Gaining a huge amount of knowledge and experience. The data obtained, through trial and error, are embodied in various areas of the organization.

Today, the enchanting plan of the organization is embodied in a very beautiful smartphone from the subsidiary Honor View 20, which can surpass all competitors and compete with the flagships in performance.

Brief description of the product

The smartphone was first presented to the public on December 26, 2018. The show took place in Beijing, and the world premiere will take place on January 22 in France.

An interesting fact is that the Honor View 20 was the very first smartphone equipped with a honeycomb screen - there is a round cutout for the front camera. This decision came to the engineers in the desire to do something new, which the company had not produced before, and the idea was realized very successfully.

The rest of the presented gadget is made according to the "latest fashion". It has a very attractive design that will be warmly received by any audience. Excellent performance backed by state-of-the-art in-house developed technologies, as well as a large battery that can provide enough power for full use.

Technical specifications

Screen

The description should begin with the most important novelty - the screen. The basis for the smartphone was a 6.4-inch display with an aspect ratio of 19.25:9, this ratio is unusual, thanks to him the case turned out to be more elongated, unlike other models.

The flagship received a resolution of 2310x1080 - an excellent indicator that guarantees high image quality. There are also excellent viewing angles close to the maximum, which also positively affects the comfort of use.Separately, a solid oleophobic coating pleases, now you can safely use the gadget without worrying about traces on the display.

It is also worth talking about the calibration of the display brightness. The node is equipped with a solid automatic setting, which allows you to comfortably work with the phone at night. However, for intensive lighting, automation is barely enough - the colors fade badly. Therefore, as a safety option, there is a forced adjustment menu in which you can correct the effect.

Own development was called All-View Display. This made it possible to place in its part a hole for the front camera with a diameter of 4.5 mm. However, according to the company, the hole for optics is not one in the typical sense of the word. The bottom line is that the camera lens is installed directly under the screen without violating the integrity of the pixels. Thus, it turns out that the matrix is ​​a continuous canvas, and the camera is located under it.

The use of this technology has made it possible to achieve a record ratio of the area of ​​​​the front of the smartphone. The matrix occupies 91.8% of the total space, which looks very impressive.

Design

A lot of words have been said about the notorious design of the device. The presented device is worthy of all the praise voiced at the press conference.

The case is assembled from high-quality glass and 6061 aluminum alloy, and there is also a special coating on the back cover, which is used to create an almost invisible nanotextural layer. The procedure is called nanolithography and is usually used to create integrated circuits. With this action, Honor's engineers tried to strengthen the hull and increase tactile perception.

The front panel is almost completely occupied by a frameless display.There are no bangs or chins, instead there are very small sections of the body and minimal frames.

The back is entirely made of high-strength glass. The horizontal hole for the optical module is located classically - in the upper corner of the panel. The lower part has placed the brand logo on itself. A notable fact of the coloring is the solar overflow forming the original drawing.

The frame is completely made of aluminum, there is a 3.5 mm Mini Jack cutout on its surface, and the lower part contains a USB Type - C output. There is also a cutout for a SIM card on top. The speaker is located above the screen, the main speaker is located near the USB at the bottom, along with a microphone.

In the factory, there are several options for gradient body colors.

Optics

Excellent optics is an attribute of any flagship smartphone. The model has the most advanced developments that allow you to take wonderful pictures.

Main camera

The model has an optical element called Sony IMX586. The main charm of the node can be called a mind-blowing resolution of 48 MP, obtained thanks to the technology, which will be discussed below.

The most modern sensor can produce an incredible resolution of 8000x6000 pixels, which is a lot for a smartphone. The technology is based on a unique design that gives a pixel size of 0.8 microns, which not only reduced the size of the device to 8 mm, but also increased performance.

The Quad Bayer filter is used here, which uses the same colors of neighboring pixels in a 2x2 matrix. This turn of events guarantees an increase in image quality when objects are not well lit.The result of the “troubles” is getting a low noise level and maintaining the brightness of the frame, and the dynamic range is 4 times higher than the values ​​of similar devices.

At the same time, the resulting frame rate can also boast of a high rate.

• 4096x2160 - 90 fps;
• 1080 - 240 k.s;
• 720 - 480 k.s.

These values ​​are sufficient to produce excellent quality recordings.

The general parameters are supplemented by an LED flash and support for the function of determining the distance to objects in the frame. There is also a hybrid auto focus, electronic frame stabilization.

The icing on the cake is the active support of artificial intelligence, which greatly facilitates the fate of the user.

Front-camera

The front optical module is presented less prosaically - it is a 25 MP sensor with support for HDR mode.

There is also a complete set of additional software. There is a mode of automatic focusing of the image, good opportunities for editing pictures (fortunately, a modern processor supports all this stuff).

Thus, you should not count on incredible pictures, but the device will obviously not upset fans of selfies or videoconferencing.

Audio

Audio accompaniment is made according to the first category. The integrated stereo speaker puts out enough volume to be heard from another room.

The sound quality in the headphones also does not make manufacturers blush - the output has a rich bass and a decent working out of medium / high frequencies.

The factory has several playback modes, and for a more thorough sound calibration, the user is asked to adjust them manually using a functional equalizer.At the same time, the volume is enough even for thrill-seekers.

The conversational part leaves positive emotions. The user can hear the caller well. Increased conversation comfort is obtained by high-quality cutoff of extraneous noise on the microphone.

Performance

Since the smartphone is the flagship, the hardware is made according to the latest category. On board there is the most modern chip and support for all possible technologies.

Operating system

The flagship smartphone requires the appropriate software. The device is equipped with the latest Android 9.0 operating system by default. The basic component has been thoroughly redesigned to a unique form, with the help of Huawei's own development - the Magic UI 2.0 shell, which provides additional performance to the flagship.

There is full support for the latest programs and add-ons. Collaboration with a number of demanding systems and devices of the latest generations is possible.

CPU

The Honor View 20 smartphone is equipped with the latest generation HiSilicon Kirin 980 high-performance processor. The flagship chip is based on 7nm process technology. Two quad-core Cortex-A55 and Cortex-A76 clusters clock out at 1.8 and 2.6 GHz, respectively. Additionally, there is an NPU unit. Also connected in tandem is the Mali-G76 MP10 graphics accelerator.

Such hardware is enough to run and successfully support the most modern games or demanding applications at maximum settings without a single freeze or stumble. This is facilitated by the presence of GPU Turbo 2.0 technology, which effectively accelerates the 3D accelerator.

Manufacturers claim that the power reserve is enough for several years to come.

The reduced temperature environment of the device is obtained thanks to passive cooling technology, which is increasingly common in smartphones. The device is equipped with special copper tubes that effectively remove excess heat from the chip, allowing it to work even faster and longer.

An additional incentive to buy is an AnTuTu score of over 315,000, which means a lot.

Memory

The basic package includes 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of permanent memory. The top version uses an extended 8/256 GB for RAM and long-term storage, respectively.

Optionally for particularly demanding users, the permanent storage can be expanded up to 400 GB using a Micro SD card.

Such a reserve will be enough to store a huge amount of information, games or media content.

Battery

The autonomy of the smartphone is provided by an integrated element built using Li-Po technology with a capacity of 4 Ah.

Battery life is 2.5 - 3 days with moderate use. With active gaming, the battery lasts about 8 hours. The continuous talk time is limited to 25 hours.

There is support for fast charging Super Charge, the smartphone fully replenishes the charge in an hour and a half. Wireless module, unfortunately not.

Communications

The possibilities of communication are revealed impeccably here. On board there is:

• 4G LTE module;
• Full-fledged two-band Wi-Fi transmitter;
• Bluetooth device latest generation 5.0;
• Full palette of wired connections.

A noteworthy fact is the Link Turbo technology, which allows you to overclock the Wi-Fi connection to maximum speeds for the fastest application downloads. Peak efficiency provides for synchronous operation of two data channels. Previously, the company has already installed the module on other devices, but in View 20 the potential of the technology is fully revealed.

Also, the advantages of the smartphone is the support for full-fledged satellite navigation (QZSS, A-GPS, GLONASS, GALILEO and BDS) and support for two SIM cards that can work both synchronously and alternately.
