The Honor 20S has launched in Russia and it greatly differs from the one sold in China. First, there is no LCD display with a punch-hole rather you get one with a waterdrop notch. The fingerprint scanner which is mounted on the side on the China model is placed on the back on the European version. However, the biggest difference is in the processor which is not the new and more powerful Kirin 810 but the Kirin 710.
The Honor 20S (MAR-LX1H) has a 6.15-inch FHD+ screen with a certified eye comfort mode by TÜV Rheinland. The Kirin 710 processor is paired with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. A MicroSD card slot will let you add up to an additional 512GB of storage space.
Just like the Chinese model, there are three rear cameras on the back of the phone. The primary sensor is a 48MP f/1.8 camera and it is paired with an 8MP f/2.4 ultrawide wide-angle and a 2MP f/2.4 Macro camera. The cameras are housed together, and right underneath the sensors is an LED flash.
The Honor 20S comes with a 24MP f/2.0 selfie camera which has its own Night Mode for brighter selfies in low-light. The phone boasts several camera features including up to 22 different scene recognition categories and an AI beauty mode.
[envira-gallery id=”289302″]The phone packs a 3340mAh battery with support for Honor SuperCharge 18W fast charge. There is a USB 2.0 Type-C port at the bottom and it is flanked by the audio jack on the left and the speaker grille on the right.
Honor ships the phone with Magic UI 2.1.0 based on Android 9 Pie. It comes with features such as GPU Turbo 3.0 and the ability to set a video as your ringtone. Owners will be able to choose a specific video of their choice for each of their contacts. The Honor 20S also has dual SIM support (nano-only), Bluetooth 4.2, NFC, FM radio, and support for LTE Band 20.
The phone is available in Midnight Black, Ice White, and Blue-Violet. It has a price tag of 21,990 Rubles (~$342) and will go on sale on November 15 save for the Ice White variant which will be available on November 22. All orders will ship with a free pair of Honor Sports Pro AM66 Wireless Bluetooth Headphones which costs 4,990 Rubles (~$77).
UP NEXT: Honor V30 will come with 5G and new “Camera Matrix” algorithm on November 26
