Pressure on Huawei peaked last year and prompted the sale of the Honor sub-brand. Now the independent company is trying to get back into the game; and will unveil the Honor 50 line on June 16; which should mark a return to its partnership with Qualcomm and Google. Naturally, the release of this line will not end, the company is preparing for the announcement of the Honor X20.
However, it is unlikely that this model will debut at the same time as the Honor 50; another release date is also in preparation for it. In favor of the fact that the company is preparing for the release of Honor X20, a photo of the smartphone, which appeared on the network thanks to the famous network insider Digital Chat Station, speaks.
In front of us is a smartphone with a purple-gray gradient; which received an oval main camera block with three image sensors. The main one should be with a 64-megapixel resolution.
The Honor X20 is rumored to be equipped with a 6.7-inch IPS screen with a 120Hz refresh rate and a 4200mAh battery with 120W fast charging. Perhaps one of the advantages of the device is the possibility that it will be based on the Dimensity 1200 chip; whose performance is comparable to the Snapdragon 870.
