Back in May, a leaker revealed that Honor has restructured its product line, stating that the Honor X series will be a mid-range line. Last month, Honor announced the Honor X20 SE, and it launched as a Dimensity 700-powered phone with a starting price under $300. A more powerful model called the Honor X20 is expected to launch in the future and a new leak has surfaced regarding the chipset that will power the phone.
A report from April had stated that the Honor X20 will have a Dimensity 1200 processor but it has been almost four months now and the phone is yet to launch. According to a fresh leak out of China, the Honor X20 will not be powered by the Dimensity 1200 chipset.
The source, who goes by @熊猫很禿然 (Bald Panda), disclosed via a Weibo post that the Honor X20 is powered by the Dimensity 900 chipset. Considering that the source has a good track record regarding Honor and Huawei-related leaks, we have little doubt about it being wrong.
While the Dimensity 900 is a less powerful processor than the Dimensity 1200, it is a 6nm chipset too. Announced back in May, the processor has two Cortex-A78 cores clocked at 2.4GHz and six Cortex-A55 cores clocked at 2.0GHz. It also has a Mali G68 MC4 GPU.
Honor already has a Dimensity 900-powered phone in form of the Honor 50 SE. We can expect both phones to differ with respect to design, camera, and maybe even battery capacity and fast charging technology.
There is no info on when the Honor X20 will launch but we won’t rule out this quarter.
