The Honor View 20 is doing great on the global
market with over 1.5 million sales in its first month. According to rumors from
China, the Huawei subsidiary is preparing another flagship device called Honor
20 Pro. It will have the Sony IMX600 camera sensor and could arrive as early as
April 25.
The new device will have a 6.1” OLED panel with an
under-display fingerprint scanner, and it could be the first Honor phone
outside China with the technology (it is currently available only on the Honor
Magic 2, a China-only smartphone). The chipset is said to be Kirin 980, coupled
with three memory configurations - 6/128 GB, 8/128 GB, and 8/256 GB.
Since this phone is said to be “Pro”, its cameras
are likely to be better than the Honor View 20 setup. The sources claim it will
have a 40 MP camera just like the Huawei P30 Pro. The main shooter will be
coupled with a 20 MP ultra-wide-angle cam and an 8 MP telephoto lens with 3x
optical zoom. There are also the usual Chinese software boosters like Gaming+,
Link Turbo, CPU & GPU Turbo, etc.
Prices are expected to start from CNY 2,299, which is
less than US$ 450 and if the rumor is real, that could be a pretty decent cost for
such an excellent device on paper.
