Honor V20 aka Honor View 20 Confirmed to Sport 4,000mAh Battery, 25-Megapixel Selfie Camera

Huawei sub-brand Honor first announced the Honor V20 aka Honor View 20 at an event in Hong Kong last week, touting it as the company's first smartphone to sport a hole for the selfie camera. This seemed like a move to beat Samsung from being the first manufacturer to do so. At the event, Honor had revealed it would sport a 48-megapixel Sony IMX586 sensor, HiSilicon Kirin 980 SoC, and Link Turbo technology. In the meanwhile, it has also made an appearance on benchmarking website AnTuTu giving us a glimpse of what it is capable of. Now, the latest teasers reveal the smartphone will sport a 4,000mAh battery and a 25-megapixel selfie shooter in the display hole.

Recent posts by Honor on Weibo the Honor V20 will sport a 4000mAh battery and a 25-megapixel selfie shooter. To recall, the Honor V20 was first unveiled last week, and at the same time, the company revealed that globally it will be unveiled as the Honor View 20.

The Honor V20 will be launched in China on December 26, and the complete specifications of the smartphone can of course be expected to be revealed on that date. The global launch of the Honor View 20 is confirmed to take place in Paris on January 22. As we mentioned, the smartphone is already confirmed to sport a 48-megapixel rear Sony IMX586 sensor with features like a 1/2.0-inch CMOS sensor , 4-in-1 Light Fusion, 4 times sensor HDR, and certain AI functionality.
