Well, 3C certification usually doesn’t reveal much about the device but we can see that it comes with an 18W charger. The design of this smartphone has not been officially confirmed but it is likely that it will use some sort of notch design, either a water drop notch or a wide notch. In recent times, we have seen a comprehensive full-screen design from Huawei (Magic 2) so we cannot also rule out the possibility of this design. The Honor V20 is expected sometime next year, probably early next year. To complement the SoC, the Honor device could sport 6GB or 8GB of RAM and proportionally high internal memory.
