Honor is all set to launch its latest smartphone — Honor V20 at a launch event in China on 26th December. Ahead of the phone’s official launch, the company has started taking pre-orders for the smartphone starting today.
The company is taking pre-orders for the Honor V20 through online retailer Tmall, charging users 100 Yuan, which is approximately $14, even though the official pricing is not yet revealed. However, the pricing information has been leaked online.
The Honor V20 will be available in two variants — one with 6GB RAM and 64GB internal storage and another with 6GB RAM and 128GB internal storage. While the 64GB storage model will be priced at 2,799 Yuan (~$405), the 128GB storage model will cost 3,299 Yuan (~477).
The leak doesn’t mention 8GB RAM variant of the phone, which the Honor V10 offered. However, we are expecting the Chinese company to launch the 8GB RAM model of the Honor V20 along with the 6GB RAM model, priced around 3,599 Yuan, roughly $521.
The Honor V20 will come with a “Magic Eye Full Screen” technology, which features a 4.5mm hole in the display for the front-facing camera, which is touted as the industry’s smallest hole. The phone is rumored to feature a 6.4-inch display with support for full HD+ resolution of 2310 x 1080 pixels.
For photography, the handset is expected to feature a triple camera setup with 48-megapixel Sony IMX586 as its main sensor. The company has already shared the official camera samples of the V20 smartphone. The phone is also tipped to come equipped with a ToF (Time of Flight) 3D camera sensor for precise creation of 3D models of objects and people for AR.
On the front side, the phone could be featuring a 25-megapixel snapper for taking selfies and video calling. Under the hood, the device will be powered by the company’s own Kirin 980 octa-core chipset manufactured using 7nm process.
It will be equipped with Link Turbo feature that offers enhanced and uninterrupted download speeds by combining LTE and Wi-Fi networks to work simultaneously. The phone is expected to be powered by a 4,000mAh battery with 22.5W fast charging support.
Along with the launch of Honor V20 in China on 26th December, the company will also launch the Honor YOYO Smart Speaker, which as the name suggests, will be powered by the company’s YOYO smart voice assistant. Honor has also scheduled a launch event on 22nd January to launch the Honor View 20, the international model of the Honor V20.
