Short Review

  • The Honor 20 Pro features a sleek design with a glass front and back, complemented by an aluminum frame, measuring 154.6 x 74 x 8.4 mm and weighing 182 grams.
  • Its 6.26-inch IPS LCD display offers a resolution of 1080 x 2340 pixels, providing a sharp pixel density of approximately 412 ppi, though it lacks HDR support and refreshes at 60Hz.
  • Performance is driven by the Kirin 980 chipset, featuring an octa-core CPU and Mali-G76 MP10 GPU, with configurations of 128GB or 256GB storage paired with 8GB RAM.
  • The camera system is robust, with a 48 MP main sensor, 8 MP telephoto with 3x optical zoom, 16 MP ultrawide, and a 2 MP macro lens, capable of recording 4K video at 30fps.
  • Battery life is supported by a 4000 mAh capacity, with 22.5W charging, although it does not offer wireless charging.
  • The device runs on Android 9.0 with Magic 2.1, providing a smooth user experience.
  • Connectivity options include dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.0, NFC, and USB Type-C, but it does not support 5G.
  • Notably, it lacks a headphone jack and stereo speakers, which may be a consideration for some users.
  • The phone is available in several colors, including Phantom Blue and Phantom Black.
  • Overall, the Honor 20 Pro combines solid performance, versatile camera capabilities, and a stylish design.
