• it's one of the first phones to come with a hole punch selfie camera in the display rather than a traditional notch.
• We're looking at a 86% screen to body ratio
• A dual camera setup on the back including the world's first 48MP main lens + a 3D camera setup.
• It's also one of the only new flagship phones to come with a 3½ mil headphone jack which is great to see and it sticks.
• It's fast as well, you get either 6GB/8GB of RAM with 128/256GB of storage and the latest kirin 980 processor ( the same one used in the huawei mate 20 Pro which costs nearly twice as much )
• It's all powered by a 4000mAh battery so we should easily get a day and a half of use.
• The view 20 running Android 9 with honors own magic UI on top which looks and feels basically just like huawei's EMUi.
Honor view 20 is going to compete with the likes of the oneplus 6 but let's just take a second and really admire the design which doesn't say won't be to everyone's tastes but it's certainly eye catching. It uses a special reflective laser sketched V pattern on the back of the phone which looks great in Red, blue or black. well, I think blue is my favorite of the colors. It doesn't seem to show smudges or finger prints exactly the same size as the huawei mate 20 pro but which do you think looks better ?

It's just as interesting to look at from the front, with that hole-punch 25 megapixel F2.0 selfie camera. honestly saying, actually slightly smaller than what we'll see on the galaxy S10 which is pretty impressive considering it's an LCD and I must admit it does give the phone a more full screen look especially when watching videos or playing games as I often find my thumb covers it up. It doesn't really interfere with what's on the screen as well as it's small enough to fit within the notification bar and it doesn't show in screenshots as I checked.
when taking selfies you'll need to move the phone slightly though since the camera is so off-center , To me it still feels like a bit of a halfway house to an eventual under screen camera but it is a step-up from the notch and it does look quite futuristic.
Now moving on to the camera and as I say on the back we get the world's first 48 megapixel lens which has an F 1.8 aperture with a 12 megapixels but you can select 48MP in the options or even 48MP with AI which uses scene detection to enhance the photo, this is running pre-release software so we'll have to wait for the full review before we can properly compare camera samples but first impressions are very impressive possibly a bit gimmicky but still a neat addition is the 3D time-of-flight sensor which is used to make a depth map. This means the phone can then separate a subject from the background and then do all sorts of fancy camera trickery.
I have to say I am really excited about this phone and I can't wait to test it fully so stay tuned for my full review + camera and battery comparisons but what do you think of the view 20 let me know in the comments below.
