The Honor V20, as we have heard before, is packed with a Kirin 980 chip. Compared with the previous generation, the CPU performance is increased by 75% and the GPU performance is increased by 46%. There is also a built-in 4000mAh battery, supporting 4.5V5A super-fast charge. One of the noteworthy features of the Honor V20 is the use of THE NINE liquid cooling technology. But also we’d like to mention the WALN three-antenna design, which makes the phone bid farewell to the ‘death grip’.
The newly announced Honor V20 is also very attractive in terms of camera. It uses Sony’s 48-megapixel IMX 586 sensor with 1/2-inch pixel size, supplemented by a ToF stereo deep sensor. But this camera also supports the fourth-generation dual-channel ISP, dual-brain NPU, and AIS handheld super night scene. There is a 25MP AI selfie shooter on the front.
The rest of amazing features of the Honor V20 includes the GPU Turbo 2.0, ‘cloud computers’ that can turn the phone into a Windows 10 computer, and GPU Cloud that turns the handset into a super game console. The Honor V20 supports AI dual-frequency GPS and uses the self-developed HI 1103 GPS chip for more accurate positioning. It comes with YOYO voice assistant.
As for pricing, the Honor V20 6+128GB variant costs 2999 yuan, while the 8+128GB model is offered at 3499 yuan ($507). It is already available for pre-order and will hit the market on December 28.
I’d like to hear about this “cloud computers that can turn the phone into a windows 10 computer”. Is this a mistake? How does it work? It’s definitely something that should be expanded upon.
