Honor View 20 - User Reviews

  • You forgot that 5t doesnt have a triple antenna wifi. So with that,honor view 20 is more of a choice than the nova 5t also view 20 has price down with the variant 8gb/256gb also

  • Nova 5T is exactly the same as Honor 20. 5T has better cameras. Smaller display. Fingerprint sensor the on side. View 20 has bigger display. Bigger battery. Fingerprint sensor the on back. And has a headphone jack at the top. With 8GB model you get 256GB storage Neither have SD card slot 5T might not have Google services because of the time it was released but Honor 20 does have Google services. Both are great phones but I personally would have View 20 because of headphone jack which I cannot live without. View 20 might also be cheaper because it came out earlier but it depends where you live.

  • Looking into Honor view 20(8Gb) or Huawei Nova 5t. Anyone can share their pros and cons here?

  • 1. AMOLED is just another type of screen. I'm using this phone alongside P30 pro, S10+ and Note 10+. Not much difference between them except the OS and interface. 2. Performance wise, I felt its not much of a big difference unless u are doing heavy gaming. 3. Basically, phones are meant for 2 hands where possible but bcos lately people are doing too many things at the same time, 1 hand is not easy as the width is quite out for the thumb. 4. I felt Huawei phones win against most others in these 3 factors; a- Battery performance (drain or charge) - Supercharge available while superslow drain after u had properly done the update needed. b- Currently the only Andriod 9 phone with a loop screen, all others do not have it anymore. c- cost effective only if u know what u want instead of hoping one phone to do every possible situation imaginable.

  • Can I ask you something guys? I bought honor view 20 today and I have a question. Does the phone charging only when it is open cause I shut it down and I put it on charge but it open and ask me to put the Sim pin but I didn't open it. Can anyone help me with that?

  • - Is the screen of the honor worth it in 2019 or is an amoled panel a must-have ? R:The screen is great, very beautiful and shiny. I had an amoled screen phone before de View 20, can't tell the diference. - does the 980 falls well behind the 855s in performances or is it more than OK-tiers ? R:It's super fast. The apps open in the moment i click on them. It's more then enough, but, as far as i've seen, the Kirin 980 is above the S845 and a little bit below the S855 in raw performance. - Is its size way too big to be used comfortaby with one hand ? R: It's a big phone. The screen is much bigger than a whole iPhone 6/7/8, for example. I can use it with 1 hand (i'm 184cm tall), but I recommend to use with both hands, it's much more confortable. - Finally, do you think the Honor 20 pro will be worth the extra bucks over the one you have or is it more than enough for the price (talking about the V20). R: I don't know, I think it depends on the price in your market. I had my doubts: Mi9, Mix 3, Honor View 20 or Honor 20/20 pro? After buying the View 20: don't hesitate if you want to buy the View 20. It's the best price in the category. It's camera is really good, great lightining performance and the battery lasts forever.

  • no fm radio ??

  • Greatings, asking the V20 users. I'm really interested in that phone but have some questions : - Is the screen of the honor worth it in 2019 or is an amoled panel a must-have ? - does the 980 falls well behind the 855s in performances or is it more than OK-tiers ? - Is its size way too big to be used comfortaby with one hand ? - Finally, do you think the Honor 20 pro will be worth the extra bucks over the one you have or is it more than enough for the price (talking about the V20) Thank you verry much :)

  • On the recent update Magic2.1, we can use launchers on playstore. Need to reset ur phone 1st after update.

  • This one. I did a 20 pictures comparison. Mi9 fails in all aspects.

  • 1- Is this phone a good mid-range phone? 2- Is the Honor brand the low quality of Huawei as they said? - Subsidiary like how Lexus is of Toyota's. Honor is targeted at younger audiences with lower pocket depths but still keeping the high quality stuffs. Currently its one of the few which has the big market leaders chasing....take the corner punch-hole cam. Though Samsung came up with one earlier, it was this phone that created the hype, coupled with TOF cam, extravagant back V pattern and crushing battery life (wins over 99% of ALL Samsung and iPhones) 3- What is the back made from? plastic or gorilla glass and what degree? Glass. Go check out MrWhosetheboss vid on this phone. Besides, its not of high importance cos its amazingly cool to use. Even cooler compared to Oneplus 7 pro. The only drawback i would say is the pricing at where u may purchase from. Sets in China are at least 20% cheaper while other Asia gets premiums with phone and an approximate of 8% off. U shld check out one and decide if u wanna get this or another Huawei phone.

  • Honor is owned by Huawei and with and is under the trademark of Huawei, but they offer more for less money of Huawei using they new parts as an experiment. The Honor View 20 was the best phone of 2018. It's got plenty of horsepower for anything you want to throw at it - games, media creation, and heavy multitasking. Made of aluminum and on both sides glass,, but no gorilla glass protection and no microSD card slot expansion, only Honor 8X has gorilla glass 3 protection. In my opinion this model kills all the devices of the mid-range and classifies in high performance class , reminding that has an excellent 48MP camera combined with the Quad Bayer technology produces excellent stills, it has good battery life and a killer flagship chipset.

  • Good phone using for 2 weeks now, In slo-mo can only shoot 10sec of x32 at a time. Really limits everything! Oh and there is x4, x8 and x32... there are no x16 slo-mo that would be a sweet spot, not too slow and not too fast :( Screen could be little brighter, in sunny days you basically are very limited(my old 4y.o. huawei smartphone is brighter) Battery life is excellent i carge up and last 4 full days (moderate use).. basily battery draw is 20-25%/day with my usage. Overall im satisfied for the price point, bought it(128gb ROM, 6gb RAM, black version) on sale for 350€ in Latvia.

  • 1- Is this phone a good mid-range phone? 2- Is the Honor brand the low quality of Huawei as they said? 3- What is the back made from? plastic or gorilla glass and what degree?

  • I'm really liking this phone but I a bit skeptical about the Huawei ban. Will we not be able to use Google services?

  • Mi 9 T has really horrible photos, even though it is sunny day the colors at the pictures looks awful

  • MI 9

  • Whats better, this one or Mi 9?

  • Close your eyes so you will not see when it opens and closes. LOL!

  • The proximity sensor is very bad, when you make a call with your right ear the screen keeps opening and closings

  • View 20 hv better processor, nova 4 hv better cameras

  • V20 8/256 or P30 (NOT PRO) 6/128 for a same price? General use plus some gaming and taking pics, videos of my kids. Will use 2 sim cards.

  • Nova4 beter

  • no screen bleeding

  • been using this masterpeice for almost 2 weeks now,and i must say this phone is amazing and worth every penny,great battery,very nice camera,beautiful and classy design,smooth menu and multitasking ,i got the 8 /256 GB version,well done HONOR,greetings from Egypt.

  • Pros Price in finland 450euros. +48 megapix +Latest kirin 980 +Big battery 4000mah +Memory 6gigs 128Gb storage. +Good audio dac,whit head phones. Scree size actually same like huawei mate 10 pro.

  • Then go for a Mi9 or a Sammy A70.

  • What's with the speaker? Are you using it in a crowded place? Don't add to the noise around and besides you will not be able to appreciate the stereo speakers when in noisy places. At home? Why use phone speaker when you have a proper sub woofer speaker that is better? Common sense...

  • How's the screen on this phone? Does it have any major flaw or it's good enough? And is the speaker bad considering it's not stereo? I consider buying this device but the speaker really matters to me, thanks in advance

  • No Amoled screen with those price!

  • ~398 ppi density it's too low and a price too high

  • Honor View 20 price little higher side

  • It's not waterproof.

  • What is the phone serial number?

  • Honor View 20 vs Huawei Nova 4

  • Is this waterproof??

  • @Adriani - none so far dude,.

  • No its not, its part of honor/huawei software. When u open other app like whatsapp or wechat or any, it look normal

  • aren't the screen is bleeding somewhere around the punch hole and the bottom?

  • No, View20 is not protected by gorilla glass.

  • Possibly GG5 or 6

  • yee-haw!!! got mine already smmmooth,. very,. very,. very,. smooth... thanks team,. for those did not purchase yet,. just give it a try.. u wont regret it,. ;)

  • Protection:YES But what is it?

  • Im asking the V20 users, that's right that on the bottom and top there are some dark shadows.. the LCD has big bleeding? Thanks

  • Thanks for the reply dudezzz,.

  • as many as you can?!!! lol!!!

  • No, it doesn't

  • It's already in the Philippines. You can purchase it thru Lazada.

  • Does someone knows is v20 getting a always on displey with all notifications like p30 mobiles

  • Normally there is plastic over the plastic screen prot, and that plastic over is poor quality...

  • team honor, pls. bring this device to the philippines so that we can buy as many as we can " honor view 20 " cause we care thank you

  • Remove the plastic cover, it is not a screen protector.

  • For camera TOF go for View 20, otherwise Mate 20.

  • Go for mate 20

  • Definitely mate 20

  • Is it good for playing online games?

  • Honor view 20 for gaming live stream ? Yes or no ?

  • When is the honor view 20 next update? Gaming+...

  • Why not Quad HD screen honor as like v9?

  • i think my view 20 got a defective screen, the text is very blurry/smeary when i scroll, its super annoying. You guys have problems like that?

  • Honor 20 smaller-6.1

  • Same here. What is better, Honor 20 or Huawei Mate 20? Camera quality, but only press and shot.

  • The upcoming Honor 20 is better than View 20?

  • So should I buy the View 20 or the Huawei Mate 20? (not the pro)

  • Opt for Huawei Mate 20 Pro.

  • Huawei Mate 20 Pro

  • Go for Nova 4, it's from Huawei as well.

  • missing amoled panel.

  • thanks huawei its not oled with pwm!

  • View 20 no doubt!

  • I have this phone and yes it can record a video 1080p FHD 60 fps

  • S9 4gb ram 256gb rom or View 20 8gb ram 256gb rom?

  • It can, but at 1080p only, 4K is at 30 fps.

  • To anyone who owns a view 20, can the phone record 60 fps video?

  • This phone is brilliant really. My friend bought it & I'm really stunned by it's looks. It looks even better in person than it looks on pics or videos. The camera is flagship-grade as well. Display is fine, but obviously OLED would've been better... but still not bad at all. The battery life & the rest of the specs are all top-notch as well. Overall a very premium experience for a mid-range price bracket.

  • I live in the United States and it does work. I'm on T-Mobile and getting LTE.

  • mate20 is the best 10mp shooter, sony best 19mp one, but View20 is best 48mp one. Actually delivers the most details(including 40mp phones). You may feel that 12mp is good enough, but only after seeing 48mp worth of detail you will understand the difference. Its similar to comparison of normal and super wide fov, its just more real.

  • mi9 is definitely better than 6T

  • Exactly the same reason as to why I bought the honor View 20 over the oneplus. As well as the fact that it has a pin hole camera

  • the only problem if you buy this phone and you live in the United States i guarantee you that it won't work

  • Mi9 and other high end phones from Xiaomi are not available in my country India.

  • have you considered xiaomi mi 9 ? i wanted honor view 20, but xiaomi kicked it. and it's cheaper too

  • after weeks of research and doing comparison between OP 6t and this phone finally I bought it. Got it for $510 exactly same what OP6t costs in my country. Lots of reasons to chose this one, some are given below as if anyone else is confused between these can get better idea. 1- Processor is like one step ahead than snapdragon 845 as it is based on 7nm, so more efficient and future proof, new galaxy S10 series is also based on 7nm processor. 2- Camera is slightly better than Op6t camera. TOF is no use for now but may be useful in future. 3- I really don't like in screen fingerprint reader unless it is as fast and accurate as physical one, so V20 good choice here. 4- Battery in V20 is 4000mah so slightly better compared to 3700 mah OP6t. 5- headphone jack, always happy to see this. 6- Custom UI- lots of people prefer Oxygen OS as it is cleaner and more like stock android but I rather prefer more feature rich custom UI at least in high end phones where there is no issue of lag or performance degradation due as faster processor can handle this easily.

  • There's a lot of Honor retailer shops in Singapore, check their site for addresses.

  • I keep a small music collection on my phone, also some movies for when I'm in the countryside, I don't rely on the internet there, and to be honest, I don't like streaming services even when I'm in town, I prefer it stored on my phone. Even if I could do with 256GB, the phone is still too expensive, anyway.

  • LOL! With 256GB on board you still need expansion memory? Duh!

  • It's too expensive and the NM cards are hard to find. Huawei got greedy.

  • No. Its S$700 if u order direct for a 256Gb rom and 8Gb ram. Even some stores are selling 800+ with wireless bluetooth piece, watch, casing and screen protector. Everything else is just excessively expensive.

  • Honor has an outlet in Singapore?

  • ZenFone 5z

  • Avoid S9+, anythiung else is a good buy.

  • Should I get this honor V20 despite the battery drainage because of the IPS LCD screen? This phone cost SGD700 in our country for 6GB 128 GB variant.

  • huawei mate20.

  • Samsung Galaxy 9 plus no doubt

  • so, why no dxomark score yet?

  • It is L1

  • It is L1

  • Huawei Mate 20 Pro, no doubt!

  • ANY one idea honor view 20 launching in pakistan

  • Honor View 20, Huawei Mate 20, Samsung Galaxy S9+ OR One Plus 6T....? KEY POINTS! 1.Battery Life 2.Camera 3.Software Experience 4.Gaming Experience 5.Build Quality/Brand Value 6. Video Recording 7.Display Quality 8.Customer Service Support (I Lives in UAE) 9.Software Updates Support 10. Sterio Speaker Quality Please Recommend which one is matching above points...!

  • Thank You 0G$

  • I wish Honor would have included OIS with this phone, instead of just EIS. With just EIS working its magic - it narrows down the field of view to a considerable extent. At least with OIS at the helm, you're getting the full benifit of the 25mm wide angle lens.This phone has to compete with OnePlus 6T and subsequently OnePlus 7 ... both of with will feature OIS.

  • L1

  • But take note that Mate 20's cameras were Leica engineered and the recent update made it even better.

  • Can someone who has the Honor View20 please check which DRM Level the phone has. You can use the App "DRM Info". Level "L1" is required to watch Netflix or Amazon in HD quality. "L3" will give you just SD quality ... Thanks in advance.

  • Buy it before 6 days.And what can I say-omg best phone ever seen.Still have my old huawei p10,but this one is so much better,super fast,great camera and great design.I get phantom red and the color is so amazing...

  • watch video comparison of nova 4 vs v20 from frankietech since i think nova 4 has the same camera with p20 pro but instead of monochrome sensor the change it to wide just like mate.

  • 5G is going to be available in the UK later this year I have a OnePlus, the next version OnePlus 7 or 7T will be 5G ready!

  • regarding camera honor V20 or mate 20 (not pro) ??

  • This model use cat 21?

  • Wich DRM Widevine has the Honor View20? Is ready for play Netflix on HD? Thanks !!!

  • Just brought this phone, anyone had problem one reading usb? The option on transfer file automatically revert back to reverse charge. So cant read the usb, my pendrive.

  • Choose this Phone. Mate 20 has 16mp and 6GB Ram. This Phone has 48mp, 8GB Ram and for Battery Life, both of them has 400mAh

  • Hi. This phone or the Huawei Mate 20? What do u think? PS: I only care about battery and camera

  • is this phone will be available here in the Philippines??? if NOT, where can I order it?

  • Good competitor with One plus 6 T

  • I mean the normal Mate 20 (not pro)

  • The Huawei mate 20 pro obviously with a higher display of 538 ppi and 3840*2160 display, however you're going to have to pay almost 500$ more, so if you want the best value in a phone? the Honor view 20 is what you want.

  • Thanks, that will go down when they launch the P30 series.

  • 8/256

  • Which one is better between Honor View 20 and Mate 20?

  • Yes for that price Honor View 20 is the better and smarter choice.

  • Malaysia.

  • Where are you from? For that Price honor view 20 is good choice. OnePlus at $715 sounds bad. S9+ is way better at that price range.

  • In my country, current pricing are: S9+ & Oneplus 6T - $703 Honor View 20 - $486 Between S9+ & OP 6T, yes S9+ are the better one. But Honor View 20? Simply the best bang for buck.

  • S9 plus, because has IP68 dust&water proof, better resolution and display, micro sd card slot, stereo speakers, 3,5 mm jack, almost the same screen to body ratio without notches and a better camera overall.

  • Which variant of V20 costs AED 2399?

  • Are you telling that View 20 is not a flagship from Honor? Here's from GSMArena. -------- The Honor View 20 is a truly flagship-grade device and it can challenge the best in the industry with its price of less than €600. There is plenty of competition but the devices that first come to mind are the OnePlus 6T, the Galaxy S9+, the Huawei P20 Pro and the Xiaomi Mi 8 as they all have similar pricing and specs.

  • Go for Samsung Galaxy s9 plus bro

  • Obviously the galaxy S9+ BTW are you getting the S9+ at the same price as OP6T?

  • Better go for one plus 6T.honor view 20 display resolution is very worst.camera numbers doesn't work when the sensors of camera is not good.

  • I have, Nova 4 camera are worst due to higher post processing than View 20. Not to mention in my country, u dont get the 48mp, just 20mp main camera (same module as Honor 8x). Pathetic. The only advantage over View 20 are wide angle lens it has. Everything else is the same, so View 20 are better than Nova 4.

  • Camera quality are very good, flagship grade, did u even read the review? Sure normal 48mp looks softer, due to small 0.8um pixel size, but when it quad bayer system pixel binning to 12mp, resulting at 1.6um pixel size, i can say most of the times it even beats Pixel 3 camera quality. If still want to opt the 48mp, use the Ultra Clarity mod, not the normal 48mp. Not to mention it has 48mp RAW support. But yeah, for best pics quality, stick at 12mp resolution.

  • you can buy 6t

  • Honor v20 is 2399 dirhams bro, and nokia 8.1 is 1499 only.. check the phone first before buying because i already compare both phone in my hand🙂

  • Specs wise honor v20 is higher, but talking about camera? Its so very cheap quality, giving a number of 48mp???what the heck! Its look like 8mp only

  • guys help me choose between S9+, Honor V20, or the 6T??? also tell me why. their price is very similar here in my country, so I'm confuse which one is more value deal?

  • There is a comparison video between View20 and Nova4 on youtube. Check it out.

  • sure ....S9 is a flagship must be compared with Huawei's flagships (e.g. mate 20 pro or P20 pro) ....not less than that dude

  • Honor View 20 will be launched in a single variant with 6GB RAM and 128GB of internal storage in India at a price of Rs 35,999.

  • Are you crazy

  • V20 of course. Nokia 8.1 has no match for it.

  • Nope

  • Go for view 20 ....never regret

  • Nice

  • Which one would you recommend: Honor V20 or Nokia 8.1 (a they almost have same price)...

  • s9 is a better option at its reduced price now

  • 5G is going to be available in the UK later this year I have a OnePlus, the next version OnePlus 7 or 7T will be 5G ready!

  • what to do with 5g ready now ? 2 more years then buy a 5g phone

  • thx for your valuable advice...

  • I wouldn't worry. By the time 5G is a tangible, purchasable (and affordable) thing, depending on area, you'll probably be looking to buy your next device, if not, the next one after that.

  • LG G7 - Average camera, excellent sound quality (quad dac), bad battery life. Galaxy S8 - Great camera, great sound quality, but bad battery life in real life usage. Cant even survive a day. But its the most cheapest. Oneplus 6T - Average camera, great sound quality, great battery life, but its the most expensive. View 20 - Excellent camera, average sound quality (No bass booster, only Dolby Atmos with equalizer), superb battery life, best bang for the buck.

  • Though its price in Europe is around 46000 INR but I am happy that they kept price in India 36000 INR, which is INR 2000 less than OP 6T for which current price is 38000, indeed a clever decision by Honor..for now I am really confused between LG G7 thinq (INR 33000), galaxy S8 (INR 30000), OP6T (INR 38000) and View 20 (INR 36000),..would appreciate any advice from readers here... My priorities are Camera and audio quality (mainly through headphone), I am not a gamer person at all..

  • Its not 5G ready?

  • Dearest knowledgeable all understanding friends of gsmArena.I am very sorry and apologize.Last. time I wrote a comment that this device had a memory slot dedicated card !?Unfortunately according to this information , memory dedicated slot deleted !! So please consider my previous comment , null and void.Hopefully fact writing gsmArena publishing this apology.Justice Rights just supports rights of all.Thanks.

  • Here are the prices now in Malaysia: Nova 4 --- EU 404 View 20 ---- EU 425 Mate 20 ---- EU 489

  • Samsung note 9 or this honor 20

  • there are not 2 IR blasters 1 is an IR blaster whereas the other one is an ambient light sensor for auto brightness features (it is generally placed in the notch in other phones)

  • Wow....4mm bezel?

  • it can"t be successful if the price is more than rs 35000

  • As I can see on the images this device has dual IR Blasters, but WHY?

  • Mate 20 pro has a notch bigger chin than this, still Mate 20's S2B ratio is higher than this.

  • Smartphone manufacturers are still confused about camera alignment. Vertical or Horizontal?

  • Nah unfortunately it's just single channel. The mate 20 pro has them though.

  • No wireless charging? No thanks.

  • You'll miss amoled ois and curved display

  • how does the main camera compares with honor 8 pro ?? will it be an upgrade camera wise from honor 8 pro to view 20 ??

  • I really don't get why the pixels per inch on these is so terrible compared to the s8 considering you're going to have all those megapixels to look at from the photos you could take.

  • Except the Sony ones.

  • To be fair, without OIS it's not a flagship, all flagships have OIS.

  • plz any one can tell . does this phone has a stereo speakers?!?! 🌺🌺

  • If u a samsung user, u might wanna wait for the S10 trio, see if it fits with your budget. But as of now, yes from S7 edge to this Honor View 20 definitely a great update, considering its a flagship phone with a great price.

  • Yes.it's worthy upgrade from s7 edge

  • Is it worth it to upgrade from S7 Edge to this phone?

  • Recording scene at night using smartphone is not suitable. Look at Pixel 2/3, even equipped with OIS, but still doing bad when recording in low lights, pretty much the same to any other phones because they try to squeeze in high iso, by using high noise reduction, resulting in a lot jittery effects. Only Iphone XS/Max is great at low light video recording but that because they maintain the iso & using minimal noise reduction. Its darker than other competitor, but well stabilized.

  • Yeah

  • Yes

  • can we use it as a remote for ac tv and stuffs?

  • I dont think so , there are some youtuber who has done video recording at night and man you should see how it looks , its shaky like you are doing it from VGA camera. I was almost pre booked it . but then watched the video and decided not too

  • One plus 6T

  • The Phone Looks Great, But Should Have Had Water And Dust Protection And Also Cornning Glass

  • 29 January

  • V20. The only advantage Nova 4 has is Ultra wide angle camera. But u will sacrifice a lot of good things in V20 just for that as its at the same pricing segment.

  • Both AIS & EIS on Honor View 20 works wonderfully, be it on photos or videos, without the need of OIS.

  • When it is probably available in India? which will you recommend Honor v20 or Nova 4?

  • All ok. Selfie Don't LED flash.....

  • No OIS?? Redmi Note 7 pro is a better buy despite its midrange Smarpdragom 675 chipset???

  • Its price similar or maybe less than 6T. Specs on many parts are better in View 20. Oxygen OS is better though. But once u know EMUI, its not that bad. And are u aware about all this? Lol.

  • Are you really ask this ? OP 6T OFC, FFS.

  • one plus 6t or this phone?

  • January 22 is the official release in Paris. It would be probably available on the 29th

  • 22 january in paris and france

  • when will be available in Europe?

  • When will be this phone available in the Philippines?

  • yeah same like if they need to make the battery small to fit an sd card i would not mind that but having an sd card is really important to my is the the reason i bought the honer view 10 instead of the other phones at similar price

  • Does this phone sho portrait pictures (bookeh) it hasnt depth sensor and what is toc 3d camera for?

  • No External Memory Card Slot Provided, which is a Negative part of this beautiful phone. Kindly do the needful to redesign and launch the same phone with External Memory Card Slot.

  • P.S love the Honor View 20 it is 1 of the beautiful phones of 2019 so far,and if I and the money I would buy one for me and my wife.But life is not like that for me,600.00 dollars is a lot of money for me so maybe I will have to weight for something like the samsung M and see what will I do.

  • Is the back made of glass, or metal?

  • no fm radio. why?

  • Only china version doesn't support band 20, the global version supports band 20

  • go for p10 plus

  • there is no way 24 megapixels can compare to 48+x megapixels, just saying...

  • Are you sure Kirin chip cannot beat the outdated CPU / GPU in the Exynos?

  • Exynos 9810 in S9+ is not better than the Kirin 980 in HONOR View 20 but is totally outdated processor only.

  • Its now a question of whether to wait and got for a phone with the new 855 chipset or the view 20, finding it so hard to decide as its a flagship phone but a lot cheaper that I'm really tempted to get myself one.

  • Maybe next month as Nova 4 will be launched on the 16th of January. -,-

  • Anybody know when will the honor view 20 launching in Malaysia?

  • Kirin chipsets can never compete with SD or exynos chips. And S9 plus camera is better. I am never a fan of overprocessed huawei cameras.

  • China phone? Reliable? Secure? Data leak? You know!

  • I hear screen bleed is atrocious at the bottom

  • ever phone has facial recegnation

  • Wow this Phone looks gorgeous

  • Yes it supports

  • Does this phone has some sort of facial ID?

  • this phone is awesome that beat all phones in the market

  • No its 82.9% body to screen ratio for XS and 84.4% for XS Max.

  • Does this phone support 4g volte ?

  • It doesn't have better processor. And from where you know haw is the honor's camera?

  • Just wanna know if this is already available globally Thanks

  • Honor v series supports otg. Colour is your choice to buy

  • Go for Samsung galaxy s9 plus. It has micro SD card slot, better processor, finer design, higher screen resolution and a better camera.

  • I believe the Phone is more in the range of a 91% Screen to Body Ratio ^^

  • I personally would go for the Honor View 20. Its battery is larger, and loads faster. The Honor OS is faster than Samsung, the OS on Samsung really bogs down the speed ;-)

  • this supports OTG? which color shall i go for? :O

  • I'm looking for a better replacement for my old iphone. Which is better the Huawei Honor view 20 or Samsung Galaxy S9+? Why?

  • We can use type C pen drive for that as temporary storage for that reason. -,-

  • i agree 256gb is enough..... but if any complaint happen to phone and if we stored all the images in sd card, then before giving to repair shop we could safely remove sd card and give for repair. or otherwise, if no sd card option, then repair person (may) misuse the images.

  • Honor view 10

  • For your information,V20 is for China version and View 20 for global version.

  • camera will be better in nova 4 since it has triple cameras as in p20 pro.. honor v20 only has dual camera plus tof (which is still in early development) performance is going to be superior in honor v20.. kirin 980 cpu and mali gpu in v20 is definitely better than in nova 4 (still equipped w dated kirin 970, such a bad move) i prefer honor v20.. camera is not so important for me..

  • Honor v20

  • Nice phone, good specs.... But why no support for the important B20 LTE band???

  • Mate 20 PRO -,-

  • Is 256GB not enough for your usage? -,-

  • Honor v20 got face unlock

  • no memory slot........ then no buying

  • Yes, it will.

  • B'coz before this i heard there's no Face Unlock also but im not sure either just rumour or not.

  • What is the best ? Nava 4 or honor v20 ? Please suggest me.

  • Is this mobile with aluminium frame or glass frame. I am looking for aluminium frame from back. Is somebody knows mobile that is have aluminium frame and have fast charge with type c usb and 128 g storage and good camera

  • huawei did it again

  • Does this will work in USA

  • 128Gb is enough for us. Everything extra will be saved on cloud. We are using unlimited wifi and 4G in India. I like the most.

  • i bet every flagship phone have a face unlock id

  • they only support sim card so no, they do not support nano memory

  • Damn to bad not support SD Card.

  • Guys,this phone have Face Unlock or not?

  • I thought they released NM memory? Btw does it work using the NM memory on this phone? If yes, its great.

  • "midrange"? it has latest kirin, what are you talking about?

  • Just for that reason alone, am no longer gonna buy this phone.

  • Finally, gsmarena updated its specs with its memory capacity. So it really doesn't support external memory expansion or microSD.

  • There is a performance mode on all huawei phone with Kirin 980 it basically unlocks the full power of chip but causes higher battery consumption and overheating. when that mode is on kirin 980 can get 31000+ on antutu benchmark

  • Huawei is making it imposible to modify to phone (root, mod,...) , leading to magisk dropping Huawei support. Bye Huawei, hello Xiaomi.

  • Am currently thinking of buying the Samsung Galaxy S8 plus. Why buy a mid-range V20 for 450 dollars, when a flagship Galaxy S8 plus is just 300 dollars.

  • how come kirin 980 cant beat sd845?

  • How much is Honor V20 128/6gb in MYR??

  • from the reviews ive seen, i think the nova 4 lacks Micro SD Card slot.

  • Am not sure the Nova 4 has a Micro SD Card slot. Lets keep our fingers crossed for the global release. The global version might come with Micro SD slot.

  • What is this camera design?

  • Ca you set up app drawer? Is there a option to add a bar above? (remove notch) Thanks in advance!

  • Still antutu benchmark is 274000 only where Oneplus 6 has 294000.

  • If you want stereo, you can use headphones. Listening to music through the phone speakers is an ultra-low quality experience because the sound is overly compressed in terms of frequency response and with lots of distortion. Lacking stereo is your last worry when listening to a phone.

  • Such a big phone, missing stereo speakers

  • I heard that honor view 20 will not be launch in the philippines. Is that true? Hope not.

  • Almost any other phone, minus the radio, I guess, I mean, they all have a screen, processor, RAM and other smartphoney stuff.

  • the storage use UFS or eMMC?

  • Future is here. Thank you Huawei for bring us to this level. We are not far from true AR technology where everything is done by human gesture and minds.

  • Whaaaaaaaat?

  • yeah me too :)

  • Hope this will be available in the Philippines for the coming months.

  • Almost an LG V20, but with enhanced processor and memories, lacking FM radio.

  • Hello everyone !!! happy new 2019 year !!!! when this phone is available to the Philippines !!!I would like you have this phone

  • Internet 4g +...Have you tested the speed..download and upload..What you expected speed on your phone...

  • Hey pfz hlp mein does support 4k 60fps n 1080 60fps

  • Honor is trying on a single camera like googleXL, hope they succeeded with their single camera algorithm.....

  • why No Radio ? ...... I love to listen to FM radio .......OMG, I am totally disappointed

  • Here it says it has 85.7% screen to body-ratio,other places it says 91.8%...Really confused here

  • I really can't do it. I can't find NM cards here and the ones I see on foreign sites are 128GB only (I need 256GB) and expensive. I'll go for Nova or maybe I'll just get a Poco F1 and spare some money, although I don't like the design that much and the notch is overly wide. They should have made widely available cheap large NM cards for one full year, then implement it into their midrangers. You can lose clients over a stupid memory card, you know, not really wise. Thanks Gsmarena for deleting my comment expressing my disappointment in you but not updating the specs to remove the Micro SD support misinformation. People buy these based on the specs, you know, it's disrespectful toward the users of the site.

  • I feel u bro! I wish we could cut our existing SD card like the SIM card. I suggest u buy this phone man. Compared to Nova 4, this phone is way better. Nova is over pricey for that feature. Runs on old processor and 3750mAH battery. Only plus side of that phone is the new design and primary cam lens. I would suggest Honor V20 which is an Honor flagship phone with IR blast, NFC, latest chipset n gpu turbo tech.

  • Everyone. I've bought this phone and so pretty good(it's only been 2 days though). Good battery backup, can get on through the day. Certain apps like MX player r not up to date for the phone's aspect ratio. PUBG, Excellent quality, no lags,etc. One down side is the SD slot is not present, I don't know what this site is saying that it has dedicated slot n all but I didn't find any slot other than the dual SIM. For this price, this phone ain't so bad. The AI vision cameras aren't so bad, takes good pics(3 different resolution, 48MP, 12MP, 7MP) and 48MP doesn't support zoom. Videocorder is smooth and good. Excellent internet speed(Data 4G+). Can't use customer launchers. Any other queries, u guys can hit me up. This phone is way better than Huawei nova 4( trust me on this, way better)!!! Cheers

  • I must believe now that it doesn't support microSD external memory. I just watched it in YouTube nick tech and it seems that only two nano cards are present when he pulled out the tray.

  • Anybody here realized that microSD makes your phones much slower.....

  • I've just seen a review and the guy took the tray out. It doesn't have Micro SD! I knew it! I knew it!!! It had to have a catch to it. It was too good to be true. Basically a dumping price to get exposure for their nano memory thing. I have to buy the Nova 4 now, which has inferior battery, or maybe choose other brand. I hate you, Huawei! You should have waited a while before implementing this nano to your midrangers, I won't throw away my expensive 256GB for you! Anyway, nano cards are nowhere to be found in my country anyway, so it's useless.

  • Will it be able to take good portraits while the second sensor is 3d tof this thing, and not depth sensor?

  • Dual camera ?! Really, Huawei ?! Why not triple camera for f**k!

  • Only V20 was announced (Chinese market). The View 20 will be launched near the end of January in Europe (Paris). View 20 will probably have band 20. You can see this happening very often with many phones having market specific variants with different supported bands.

  • View 20

  • It doesn't have any slot for external storage.It has only dual sim-card slot.

  • For less than $450? You're out of your mind!

  • Everyone, it has a NANO SD CARD slot which has also been used in the Huawei Mate 20 Pro. It's a new SD card created by Huawei

  • oneplus 6t or view 20...Which one is better??

  • Apparently it doesn’t have SD card support my mistake, honor you are just little bit away from releasing a perfect midrange phone

  • Guys, this phone does not have a microSD slot!!! It only has a Dual Sim slot!!! Here's the link of the unboxing video, go to 5:20 he will show the SIM slot:

  • yes

  • It has Hybrid nano sd-card.

  • Memory card slot? Y or N

  • This is a perfect phone, having all functions that has been removed by newer phones yet has the futures of smart phones. I wish you had oled screen.

  • In US we just have to use Apple Samsung poor American

  • Or is it not because of the ban? Poor Huawei.

  • Great specs but big and heavy...Huawei makes so many good phones, why can't they make at least one small phone ? That's why S10 lite and its small size will be a great success.

  • Hmmmm, Wait for honor P30 Pro or go for Mate 20 Pro

  • Super, but I did not like the back panel compare to other honor model, looks like cheap older phone that we see in OPPO or VIVO models. They could have give due tone panel as seen in honor 8x. Nova 4 looks better.

  • I would buy one, but not over $500 USD, why ? We have been shown you can build flagship (whatever that ridiculous name means) phone for way less, and offer just as much or more than the more expensive ones. Looks awesome, but I'm lost after $500.

  • again Full HD LCD ?!!? We need 2k AMOLED atleast.

  • I think mate is better

  • Portrait can be done via Software like Google

  • What are you talking about this phone (the international version) will get released January 22th in Europe

  • really cant decide get this phone or the mate 20 ( which one is better and why )

  • Its gorgeous. Would definitely buy.

  • There is TOF 3D camera for that kind of things.

  • Wow, am happy about this phone but it actually gives me mix feelings. I like the design of the colours. It's taking new dimension. Two I like the dimensions of the phone, it makes it perfect for my inhand use. Three am so excited it has dedicated memory card slot. That one makes me so very happy. The only thing that does not excite me is the camera placement and not having radio as well. The price is also good. I will go to YouTube to see the reviews of this phone and decide on it. May be it would be my next phone. If the camera is great too then I will get this phone for my daily Driver for the next 6 months. Or wait for Honor 20 or Honor Play 2. All will be great phone too. I will buy which one has greatest camera and radio. I think this phones has great battery life. Considering the battery size. That is great work done too.

  • Judging by the lack of band 20, we won't see it in Europe. Huawei at it again, with their ridiculous policies.

  • I have a question ! Does it take portrait pictures with its single camera ????

  • Beast from Huawei Dual sim and dedicated card slot Bigger Battery New chip set Waiting for it...

  • Dearest friend.It has a dedicated memory slot up to 400 gigabytes which makes it superior to Apple products ,USB 3.1+otg.The best of Huawei in 2018 and even better than other smartphones.Good luck friend.

  • I have a doubt if it has an expandable memory??? Is there an SD slot??

  • Wait for camera tests. Then we'll see.

  • Probably not in camera or display, but in performance and the fact that it has the headphone jack and a lower price, not to mention cooler design, it could be considered better

  • Anyone knows if this phone has a led notification light?

  • To be neutral. View 20 is the smartphone Huawei has made up to now.Of course price but it takes time for price comes down.Huawei has a lot capabilities and capacities to make n update about radio ,rds recording through OTA !! According to the specifications and gsmArena disclaimer,gsmArena review gives more details...The most important part is lack of hybrid that makes ii superior to Samsung Note 9 and S9 + and other smartphones in other brands.Thanks gsmArena ,face releaser and publisher.Justice Rights writes rightly so as gsmArena.

  • Absolutely!!

  • Do you think it's better than P20 Pro?

  • This or p20? (in regard to camera)

  • v20

  • Honor v20

  • Which is better Huawei Nova 4 or Huawei Honor View 20?

  • Edited: It seems that indeed it has Micro SD. The specs on the site have been updated. This is great new. I'll buy one instead of the Nova 4. They're almost the same, but the Honor has bigger battery.

  • Definitely v20 bigger battery, faster performance, cooler design, stronger front glass, NFC, and cheaper, both have headphone jack both have 2 SIM card + micro sd card, but nova 4 have better camera overall

  • It is obvious view 20 is better

  • This one has bigger display and battery, nicer design,more ram ,micro sd card slot, 3.5mm jack and infrared port.And the latest Kirin 980 chipset. The choice for me is simple.

  • Should I buy the P20 (not PRO) or this one?

  • This view 20 or nova 4?

  • stereo speakers??

  • This is a great phone with kirin 980.It also have a headphone jack.It worth of price for flagship performence.LCD screen doesn't matter much but it have a great camera and 4000mah battary.I am really impressed about it.

  • It says hybrid slot, so it will be nano sim with two slots. 2nd slot can either be sim or sd card, depending on user's choice.

  • wtf.. nova 4 is 500EUR and this is 380EUR with kirin 980 + NFC???

  • With the announcement of this phone, the mid-range sector is getting very competitive, but good news for consumers.

  • Why they just can't put a normal 3D camera on it? With this sh*t you won't be able to capture 3D images, then why they calling it 3D camera??? And an another thing, nowadays you can't buy a 3D camera because there was no need for this, so then why there is need for bokeh effect and stereo sound while no one cares about 3D photography??? The average customers are so stupid, I can't understand their logic.

  • Actually it doesn't say what kind of slot it has, it may well be Nano Memory. Some sites say it has SD, but nothing on Gsmarena. C'mon, gsmarena, you're journalist, find the f... out, we need to know, why are you so inefficient at finding out information? The initial specs on the site were all wrong also...I'm disappointed. I 90% tend to think it isn't micro SD, since it has the last processor. The Nova 4 has the old one, maybe the new processor have support for the NM and the old ones work with SD.

  • RDS FM Radio on this model?

  • The card slot is nm-card, not sdcard.

  • OIS > 48MP 3D camera.

  • Finally I've been waiting for dedicated slot for MicroSD.

  • he means a fingerprint under display

  • I've been waiting for this phone to be announced now for about a month or so, and now that it's finally been announced, I'm not disappointed. 4000 mAH battery, 6.4 inch bezel-less display, 6 gigs of ram, AND has a headphone jack, all for way under 500 dollars. That's a steal! The only thing is that I don't really care for camera/ flash design, I find it kind of funky looking. Overall, an amazing, and one even might say revolutionary, phone!

  • Look with your freakin eyes, man. It has a fingerprint scanner.

  • Eee, no stereo speakers and FM Radio?

  • 48 mp camera, 4k recording, but lcd screen, i'll pass

  • actully copied from Samsung,no RADIOl. WHY ?

  • As I expected, there is no amoled and fingerprint scanner on back! Bleeee honor magic 2 much more better choice, even battery is way much better here and also jack is here

  • What an ugly phone, huawei no way!

  • I'll be buying it as long as it's less than 440$

  • How about EIS?

  • Well I have S8 and it has burn in due to my homescreens icons

  • No OIS is a No no no no No.

  • Agree with you, even though the pixel has only 1 camera it is one of the best out there. Huawei had also made their sub brand Honor for experiment, I remember before dual camera come to any Huawei phone, it was their Honor subbrand, that experimented with dual camera.... And now they want to get into the software side of the camera.... Hope they succeed...

  • I hope it will have a regular SD slot, not the rumored NM. It would be insensitive towards clients to put a Nano slot in a phone that isn't a very expensive flagship. I myself cannot afford to throw away my 256GB SD card and buy another one, I'll have to choose a Nova4, despite the smaller battery, or even take a look at other brands. I know they're excited for the new standard and stuff, but give people time to get ready for it, put it in the flagships for a year before going to lower models.

  • Glad there's no AMOLED? that's by far the worse part about this phone, especially at this price. I've owned a galaxy note 4 for 4 years now, and I've never had any burn in.

  • I think I like very much the screen I see there but I wish you included great triple cameras with telephoto and wide angle lense and sell it for $500. Indeed it's about time you transfer the Leica deal to the Honor flagship as well like Honor 20 and the should the Honor 20 pro and that should have the Leica cameras like the P20 pro. Thank you.

  • I'm glad there's no amoled, it gets burned-in if you use static things. Buy a flagship if you want one.

  • I dont see any reason to upgrade from view10 into view 20.mybe i ll go for mate

  • Where is amoled and built in display fingerprint sensor?

  • I'm more interested if there will be a model, or update, with 8k, and Oled?

  • With google its not hardware, its the software behind the camera ;)

  • Did it scratch on the screen? If it did then I believe you, samsungs need a big case to not shatter, let alone scratch

  • I wait this phone because is the first 48MP phone.

  • The Pixel 3 has a single camera and is one of the best out there.

  • I have experienced 2 mid price huawei and 1 cheaper honor phone. For me the built quality are simply good. My s7 samsung scratched easier then thr huawei.

  • JerryRigEverything. When people talk about him the fanboys say "oh he uses more force because he's a oneplus fanboy". And i'm just like bro..he has a Samsung. I'm sure Huawei would make great phones if they were innovative, and had more of a market in the US (the claim that they are the #1 phone manufacturer is hard to believe considering I've never seen a Huawei phone before irl)

  • Single camera. zzzz. I'll pass.

  • huawei phones dont break easly dont know where you got that info, but as much as i like their product it is kinda sad that theyre copying others just to become No1 at something ,whish they didnt do these stupid things

  • I like this design. Small front camera hole on the left, and also keep the useful jack :)

  • no amoled, only normal IPS and fingerprint reader on back bleee, next one please.. honor magic 2 is way much better equipped! for me much better choice than this!!!

  • Totally not a ripoff of the Galaxy S10's screen, Huawei is so innovative and is the number 1 selling phone company right? Nano memory is the future right? Huawei beats all right?! Okay for real Huawei is garbage. Their phones break way too easily, don't have long life without being slow, and they REALLY go "features over functionality". I'd rather have an ugly phone that won't break in a month from a single scratch on the back. I'm prepared for the fanboys to go reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

  • cool things about Huawei is that they are copying from others but they maintain the audio jack 3.5mm :)

  • amazing phone cant wait to buy it i love honor phones

  • Too much of everything is bad. Very soon people will stop buying huawei phones. How on earth will a company be producing new phones every two week. So which huawei phone should customers buy? Be patient, survey the market well and come out with killer phones. This trend of producing phones every week will hit a snag one day
