welcome everyone I'm Ricky from Tech Talk and this is the honor 20 where it
gives you the ability to capture wonder and let's find out how in my review so
this device was released back in June 2019 and I went to the launch of this
device and then the honor 20 Pro previously we have taken a look at the
honor 20 light and the honor 20 Pro will be coming out very soon in the near
future so we're going to go through the specs and key details today giving you
my open and honest feedback so to start off with it's running Android 9 which is
pi it's mixed together with magic UI 2.1 so it combines the two it sort of works
really well in partnership and I've really enjoyed my time spent with this
device it's been roughly around four weeks so first of all let's go around
advise and we're going to go through key details while we'll do that so starting
at the top of our device you're gonna find an antenna bar you're gonna find an
infrared sensor and a microphone so moving down the right-hand side at the
top you're gonna find your volume controls which are color blended to the
actual aluminium frame then you have your power button and then built into
the power button is a psych mounted fingerprint sensor which is faster and
more intuitive than ever as you can see it diverts in and that's where your
fingerprint sensor is unlocks your phone in an instant with a single tap so if I
lock my device tap awake it is so quick it is just unbelievable
so impressed with the way it works and it's a good placement as well it's not
on the back hasn't gone inside the screen it's on the side there quick tap
and you're away it's so quick and it's so responsive as well it does ask you to
move your thumb around so it does actually work in all different locations
which is really helpful and that's what you do once so turning to the bottom
you're gonna find another microphone you've got your USB C for syncing and
charging you've got your one and only speak here which is downward firing
there is an adaptor provided so you can connect up headphones because there is
no headphone ports here the battery you're gonna find inside here is a three
thousand seven hundred and fifty million power battery which is chargeable via
USB C twenty 2.5 watt on a super charge is going to be super charged and you can
charge so quickly it's unbelievable you actually have to see it to believe it's
actually counts up the digit so you can get up to fifty percent of charge and as
little as twenty five minutes and I have achieved that and it's ringing
impressive to see which means you're good to go from the majority of the day
if your lights user with just 25 minutes of charging let alone charging all
through the night with music playback you can get up to 132 hours
video playback will give you 18 hours and 3G cooling will be up to 26 hours so
it should be able to go all day long so coming down the left-hand side you're
gonna find another antenna bar but this is also where your SIM tray is so this
model offers a dual SIM option so you can have 2 SIM cards in here but sadly
there's no micro SD card option available on this model so that's one
little letdown and it frustrates me a little bit when this device is all about
capturing one down using your photography all the time with 48
megapixel sensors are quite large image files with the ability to record 4k as
well that's going to be taken up quite quickly yes you can use cloud-based
services I understand that but I just believe it would be better to actually
have the option of a microSD instead of a dual SIM majority people that live in
Asia and the Asian market that buying these devices as well as Europe they
actually prefer having dual SIM option and I can understand that way as well so
when you take a side look or a profile look at this device the weight is a
hundred and seventy four grams has a good way to it to the front and the back
is made up of glass with an aluminium frame but it's thin this as well 7.9
millimeters thin that's really good as well as compact it can fit in a pocket
and at the moment it's like a little pocket rocket with what it can do them
cameras and how fast it charges is unbelievable so come in background to
the frontier quick tap and it opens up this gorgeous display and it looks
really nice so talking about the display what we're going to be looking at all
the time so the display is an IPS LCD six point two six inch full view display
from honor the resolution is 1080 by twenty three forty that gives you a
pixel density of 412 pixels per inch a screen to body ratio of eighty four
percent and over because there is a point difference so if you look at the
parrot eye here at the top left hand corner that's actually your camera and
they've used a very clever wallpaper here that you can choose in themes and
wallpaper five that lens in its eye so it has an in screen 32 megapixel ai
selfie camera with just 0.5 0 millimeter cutout it is absolutely tiny by actually
lock it here and then into the light you can just see that
camera lens there obviously I've taken some more photographs than that and you
can see that butts really impressive it's an F 2.0 offers HDR 1080p at 30
frames per second it uses gyro EE is which is electronic image stabilization
the honor 20 32 megapixel high resolution selfie camera intelligently
combines all pixels into one larger pixel for a brighter clearer selfies
with all new AI beauty and portrait modes offer shallow depth of field and
bokeh effect for stunning gorgeous and creative looking selfie results you can
share on Instagram you can share on Facebook you can share in the world and
people are just gonna love what comes out of this and I should have some
photos going along as well showing you some photos from the front and the back
cameras I've taken on my trips with this device so down into the back of our
device now you get to see the color here so you would say it's like a silvery
black it's actually a midnight black or they you do offer a sapphire blue
they're really just twists and turns the lights depending what way you're
actually facing it I really like the way that honor do this with their devices
especially with the honor 20 Pro you should see the colors that come through
on the purple model that they have there but the honor 20 series redefines the
user experience by becoming the first in honors history to introduce a
multi-dimensional dynamic holographic meticulously crafted through honors
industry first triple 3d mesh technology the two-stage process first creates a
depth layer using nanotechnology to engrave millions of miniature prisons
upon completion of this accurate process the engineers continue the Assembly of
the glass the color the depth layers as light passes through them the prism in
the depth layer the light is reflected and reflected in all different
directions and that's so true if you twist and shine it in multiple different
ways here if you really see it come alive and it really does pop in the
sunlight but that's not the main thing that's on the back here I want to talk
about the four rear cameras yes four of them so if I saw this on the p30 Pro
series from Huawei obviously on a half there version of it so four rear cameras
so first of all is a 16 megapixel super wide angle with a hundred seventeen
degrees field of view it's an F 2.2 13 millimeters then you have your 48
megapixel main Sony IMX five a-six sensor 28 millimeters it's White's phase
detection autofocus you then have a 2 megapixel depth
assist which is an F 2.4 and then finally you have your 2 mega pixel wide
dedicated macro camera it has the ability to record video in 4k at 2160p
at 30 frames per second at 1080p at 30 or 60 frames per second and it uses gyro
ie is electronic image stabilization there is no optical image stabilization
on this device glass okay but the results have been really good and I'm
pleased with my result with the honor 20 it's all about capturing wonder and this
also includes the Knights you can capture the knight powered by a is
algorithm super night mode on the main camera allows for crisp clear low-light
photos even with unwanted hand movements so even if you've got bit of a shake or
bit of jello that's fine you're gonna get great results you don't even need to
carry around a heavy tripod either with you
so without having a depth sensor you have the ability to take stunning
portrait photos so powered by advanced AI algorithms the 48 megapixel main
camera works with the depth assist camera to create professional-looking
portraits with beautiful bokeh and sharp clear faces that everything comes alive
but your background is actually subtly had a bokeh effect to it also there's
another great feature here you can relive moments one frame at a time the
honor 20 can shoot slow-motion video at 960 frames per second which is
incredible and that's recorded at 720p so allowing you to experience every bit
of the action frame by frame in astonishing detail so that's the cameras
let's go around to the CPU and the GPU the engine room of our devices let's
delve in and have a look at what we get here I'm gonna find a cure in 980
chipset which is their best flagship chipset currently on the market is seven
nanometers in size it's an AI chipset that means a is throughout whatever you
want to do in your photography if you need it for assistance or your in your
photos application if there it can help you so it has dual MP you and your ISP
so it's an octa-core processor and you have two cores running at 2.6 gigahertz
and that's cortex a7 six two cores running at 1.9 gigahertz and Ice cortex
a7 set and then four cores running at 1.8 gigahertz that's
cortex a 5/5 with this it gives you 75% performance upgrades in the CPU and a
58% power efficiency upgrade so even though without charge in that battery
you can still go all day anyway because your efficiency has bumped up compared
to previous generation the GPU now your graphics performance is from Mali and
it's a g7 6 MP 10 so has 128 gigabytes of internal storage and like I said
there's no micro SD card so potentially this could be an issue as you're using
them for cameras on the back to take gorgeous images in brilliant video slow
motion your portraits whatever you want to do you're actually gonna fill that
storage quite quickly and that's just from your camera wrong there are options
so you could use Y away clouds you could use third-party cloud options but maybe
just having a micro SD card on here it's more important than a dual sim also
there is 6 gigabytes of RAM as well to run everything which is really important
so when it comes to gaming they've included GPU turbo 3.0 so play games
faster with no more lag powered by the curing 980
a I chipset GPU turbo 3 gives you a full frame gaming experience just really
intense it's really working really well no see if there's any certain games that
are added into the GPU turbo series but they're always adding more so a couple
of extras that I want to just pick up on on this device it has an all new virtual
9.1 surround sound which uses the headphones you need to use the headphone
2 this was created on the principle of how sound waves travel and interact with
human eardrums immerse yourself in a world of sound
like never before even from above so if you use headphones
it could be really intense and really enjoyable it does have NFC so if you
want to use Google hey you can do or do like a device that has NFC so like I
said it does have an infrared port at the top but sadly it was a little bit
disappointing I couldn't get it to work so it's great to have a feature on here
there's a little bit annoying them when you can't get it working obviously with
a future update that will change that more than likely so coming into my final
thoughts and what I think of this device and giving you a price before I leave so
if useless now for nearly a month now and I have been so impressed with the
way it works and the performance of all tasks that are thrown at it which is
really important I've thrown majority of social media tasks that a device like
this and it performs so well when I show it to people this
so impressed with this little tiny sort of camera cutout here at the top only
being 4.5 zero millimeters is so impressively small but you get so much
power and performance out of that camera at the front it's enjoyable its takes
all them self this you want it takes the portrait effect that you want and you
can just enjoy it you can get quite a few people in there as well it's not
ultra wide but you can get a couple of people in your photographing using
Android as well mixed with magic UI is fine it works absolutely fine for me
depends on your choice and what you want and the way you want to set it up like
at the moment I've got my app trawl here I can fly through my app drawers I've
got gesture control on as well so I swipe to go wherever want to I swipe and
hold here I get my open applications if I have any coming down will bring me my
sort of widget area again brightness seems to be really well it's been very
bright here in the UK and it does stand out really well and I've been impressed
using it so one of the little let downs for me was when it came to typing the
keyboard is quite compact and quite small I think they can make it slightly
larger here I have looked to see if it is possible but it is quite compact and
really quite small we have my fat fingers or my fat thumbs it seems to be
getting in my way and I might miss type something I found that little bit
frustrating again that could be just my fingers or not used to this device
because I'm switching devices all the time that was one my little let downs
there but otherwise it's been an enjoyable device to use so this device
is available now with a 128 gigabytes internal storage 6 gigabytes of RAM and
that's the only option you can actually get the honor 20 in and that cost you
399 pounds I think that's a really good mid-range phone for everything you're
getting with a powerful Kirin 980 chipset inside 6 gigabytes of RAM 128
gigabytes of internal storage you're getting four cameras on the back not
just to not just three but you actually get in four you've got a nice cutout
here a big large display that's over six inches for 400 pounds and it's the
processor the Carolina A&T processor is one of the best that they have on the
market so far and it will only changed in august-september time that's when
it's going to get a little bump so the power and performance are inside this
device is really impressive for 400 pounds the links will be in the
description and if you do have any questions or any queries again drop a
