hi everyone this is dom from tech advisor and I'm here with a brand new
honor 20 Pro and January's honor view 22 set the two on a flagship side-by-side
see what's new in the 20 Pro what makes it pro and whether that's a good reason
for opt for what is probably a reasonably more expensive phone than the
brilliant view 20 let's go okay so based I'm gonna break this down into three
main sections I'm gonna talk about how the phones look I'm gonna talk about
internal specs and then I'm gonna focus down on the cameras which as you can see
is pretty much where the biggest differences are going to be so in terms
of how these two phones look I mean front on they're basically pretty
similar I mean what we can see is they both got the pinhole cap pinhole selfie
camera sitting in the top-left corner so that's instead of having a notch
you're bezels or a sort of a sliding out camera or a flippy camera or anything
like that that boat has got this little cutout and
you can see you sort of build touches like in this one honor is given a
default wallpaper that has a parrot eye to sit in its spot so I'm actually a big
fan of the pinhole camera or punch hole camera or in the screen camera or
whatever you want to call it some people don't like it they find it gets in the
way when you're watching videos playing games and you still go there's a little
sort of spot in the corner of the screen but that's preference but they are both
the same in that sense screens you may not be able to tell at first glance they
are slightly different sizes the view 20 screen is just a little bit bigger
it's 6.4 inches and I think the twenty pros 6.25 or something in that region so
they're really similar sizes the view 20 does come out just a little bit bigger
and actually you can also see at the bottom there's a smaller chin on the 20
proach is on the right hand side here which means as a whole actually the 20
pro is a shorter phone than the view 20 even more so than the sort of the
difference in screen would account for so that's nice I think the 20 pro is a
really nice compact size it's kind of an interesting choice normally when
companies do these pro models the pro model tends to be a much bigger display
a much bigger phone overall whereas the 20 pro is the same size as the 20 and
like I just said it's smaller than the view 20
so it's interesting that it's still a compact pro model which might be nice if
you're someone who wants those top specs on camera it doesn't actually feel like
they need a giant phone for it to be housed in otherwise we're mostly similar
we say we both got USBC for charging one notable difference there is a headphone
jack on the view xx which is missing from the 20 pro no headphone jack
anymore which is a shame said that might be a deal-breaker for
you and on the site you will see one of the other big differences this power
button here doubles as a side fingerprint scanner so it means it's
sort of they're quite in a quite natural position when you're holding the phone
with your thumb there whereas on the view xx we have the rear fingerprint
scanner in that kind of classic place for your finger to pick it up while
you're we're there so I'm there's not a lot in it really it's just that's just a
design preference and getting to the back then fairly similar as you see
there's quite different colors but they both offer the slightly different color
ranges you would be able to get the 20 proneness blue which is kind of the
iconic on a color I guess they're both the black models
there's a red view 20 that's you can't get it and this kind of purply finish
there's also a greenish one of the 20 pro the colors are a little different
but they've all they all do this sort of you know nice reflective glass gradient
finish one touch on the view 20 you can hopefully see is that there's this V
gradient that runs down at the view you know you can see where they're going
with it nothing like that on the 20 pro so again that's just gonna be a question
of personal preference whether you like I knew I loved the the look of the back
of the view 20 actually it's for my money one of the most beautiful funds
out there for in just a physical design standpoint and I think 20 pro looks
lovely but it's not quite on the same level without that kind of V effect but
you know that's just taste I've got you know just on a logo there camera
obviously I'm gonna talk about propagated but you can see there is a
big difference much smaller camera module on the view 20 and it's
horizontal versus this big chunky vertical one on the 20 pro that
difference is accentuated when you set the phones
side by side like that as we can hopefully see there is a big camera
pom-pom 20 bro it's real bad this is up there with the well weight P 13 P 30 Pro
for like a camera bump it means if I set the phone down
it's like a big rocking effect because it just doesn't sit flat so you're
probably going on a case on this thing rather than scratching those lenses up
it also just means the phone as a whole feels quite a lot thicker that it's not
a huge difference but especially with the camera bump the 20 pro feels thicker
it's partly there's a slightly more rounded edge on the back of the of the
view 20 it's just a bit more of a curved which helps it feel slimmer and thinner
than the 20 pro but it's not a huge thing I think overall for me view 20
wins on that design standpoint because from the front they're basically
identical but from the back the smaller camera module the thinner bump that the
whole body is like sort of a fraction of a millimeter thinner the V design all of
these things come together to mean for me the view 20 looks stunning and the 20
pro just looks really good ok specs wise we're actually gonna see
even less that's different between them they are both running a Karen 980
processor which is Huawei's flagship chip they come with slightly different
ground and storage options I think the the 20 pro is only available with 256
gig of storage whereas with a view 20 you get a choice of 1 to 8 or 256 and
RAM that they're both for like sort of six a gigabyte or the options you get
basically performance wise these are going to be identical they're both going
to run stuff really quickly I mean we're talking you know the flagship processor
we're talking top Ram top storage these are going to be very fast phones they're
going to be capable of anything you throw at them whether that's video or
multitasking or gameplay stuff honest making a big fuss about how good these
phones are for gaming they partnered with fortnight and stuff like that to
emphasize that you can apply fortnight and 60fps and things like that
there's game mode and all that kind of stuff built-in so they're the same specs
wise these really are fundamentally in the same space there's nothing to really
pull them apart there's no particular reason to prefer one to the other on
that same for battery actually well on that at both 4,000 milliamp power
batteries they've both got 20 2.5 watt fast charging will get you about half
the battery and half an hour so again very identical just specs on anything to
think about these above the top top spec phones camera camera is where the phones
come apart and this is where the 20 probe pulls ahead in a big way and the
question for you deciding between them is does it pull ahead enough to justify
the price hike so main lens on both it's actually the same sense that they both
got a 48 megapixel I MX 586 sensor so it's a it's great it means you can take
sort of you can take sort of super priority 48 megapixel shots or normally
it will take 12 megapixel shots and use pixel binning to get those as a really
great quality to so you're getting basically the same thing there one thing
that's different is while the sensor is the same the lens on top is slightly
different honours put in a new lens on the 20 pro
which has a f 1.4 aperture that means in theory it will be better at low-light
shots in particular and will just generally be a better about sort of
color reproduction and that kind of thing
testing them side-by-side we didn't see a massive difference and actually even
in low-light I didn't see a massive difference and I would be tempted to say
I actually preferred the low-light shots I got off the view 20 but yeah it's not
gonna be a big game-changer in terms of the main camera I would say that main
lens is functionally the same it could be that with more software tweaks annika
make more out of that lens on the 20 pro but it's not a big deal the bigger
difference is what you get on the other lenses because what we see when we go on
to the 20 Pro is that we have a range of options we have a wide angle to pull
back which is 16 megapixels we can also punch into a three times
telephoto which is three times the optical zoom with optical image
stabilization it's basically the same that we've seen in the one plus seven
pro and the huawei p30 though it's not on the level of the five times zoom in
the p30 Pro you can then punch in again that's five times that's a combination
of the optical zoom and some digital stuff from the mainland's and you can
zoom into a ridiculous 30 times over there but as you can probably see that
that's when the quality does that's drop-off but that's the big thing you're
getting here that the view 20 just doesn't offer there are multiple lenses
here that the other lens is just there's a time of flight so depth-sensing camera
which will is mainly use for sort of some gimmicky 3d games and more
importantly for improving portrait mode stuff so you're not getting that
wide-angle mode or that zoom mode at all in the view 20 it's also worth pointing
out there is a fourth lens on the 20 Pro it's a quad camera that's a two
megapixel super macro lens I wouldn't worry about that it's designed to feel
like when I say macro is designed for like being full centimeters like two
inches away from what they're trying to shoot
most people don't shoot photos like that very often let's be honest and actually
even when you do a two megapixels it's not tremendous quality so don't let that
sway you ignore the quad camera it's the triple camera that matters if you really
want wide-angle and telephoto and a good telephoto the 20 pro is a great option
for that and that would be a reason to opt for this phone over the view 20
because everything else is basically the same the big question but then is
pricing at the time you're shooting this we don't know the pricing if you're
watching it that means pricing will be in and out so you will have a better
idea than I was the view 20 I'm just gonna talk British pricings it never
came out in the States properly I don't think 499 pounds for 128 gig storage
model the better comparison point is that it was 579 pounds for the 256 model
which is what they are 20 pros coming in so the that that was in January it's
already dropped down since then so you get four sort of a
less than that so really looking at around 500 pounds review 20 right now so
what I'd want to see from the 20 Pro to compare there is that if the 20 Pro is
at five fifty that would be a very good price point to justify like fifty pounds
extra to get those two lenses even up to six hundred it would be a tempting
proposition to get those extra lenses the problem is once you hit 600 you're
going to start looking and saying well for a bit more I could go to one plus
seven pro or a while way P 30 and those come with some other stuff that that the
20 pro just doesn't have that might tempt you to make that extra leap up so
yeah it if the price is close the 20 Pro is gonna win it if there's a big price
gap the view 20 would still be a compelling option because everything
else about the phones is really similar that main camera is still really good
and having extra lenses is great having a wider having a telephoto those are
great options but they're not going to be the day to day lenses they're not
gonna be the thing you shoot most of your photos with so you have to really
think about how much you willing to pay for those options of different shooting
modes that are just going to be occasional use that's kind of up to you
I can't help too much but other than that is the same phones
really there's novel to pull them apart unless you really like that V finish
like me yes so we have a lot of other footage videos coming out at the moment
at the Honor 20 pro so check those out we've got a comparison with 1 plus 7 Pro
we're gonna do some other stuff I think we're gonna put it against the wall AP
30 soon stuff like that so stay tuned like subscribe you know the drill thanks
very much
you
