The Flashiest Phone I’ve EVER seen - Honor View20 Showcase #Helpful Post

The Flashiest Phone I’ve EVER seen - Honor View20 Showcase #Helpful Post

honor reached out to us to do a

sponsored showcase of their new flagship

for 2019 the honor view 20 and this is a

really flashy phone both on the outside

and on the inside and with heat pipe

cooling let's get into it

first things first the screen and wow

that's a dynamic wallpaper if I ever saw

one anyway this is actually the first

all screen display with a hole punch

style selfie camera that we've had here

in our studio and you know what I've got

to say between the intrusiveness of a

giant knotch

and the more gimmicky solutions like

sliding phones that have a lot of

question marks still about their

reliability this ended up looking like a

far more reasonable compromise than I

initially thought

you've still got just about the entire

status bar to fill up with notifications

and meanwhile it has a self-reported

91.8% screen to body ratio another cool

thing is that honor is still treating it

like a notch so they're still giving you

the ability to hide it and putting in

virtual bezels when you're watching full

screen content in landscape mode

so bottom line until we start to get

camera under screen tech over the next

hopefully year or two this hole punch

style is only going to grow in

popularity and the way honor has done it

on the Vue 20 is pretty cool because

unlike punching a hole through all of

the layers of the display except for the

glass like Samsung does on there a eight

owner says that this front camera only

partially penetrates the screen which is

apparently an advantage since not only

does it make it a bit less of a weak

point where your screen is susceptible

to breaking but each layer that the

camera intersects with has the potential

to leak light onto the camera sensor not

a bright idea now the camera itself is

pretty small and unobtrusive it's four

and a half millimeters or a little under

three sixteenths of an inch for our

friends in the US and day and they were

able to get it this small using a

technique where the liquid crystals in

the LCDs neighboring pixels will allow

light to pass through to the 25

megapixel front camera now some of you

may have noticed that the view 20

already comes with a screen protector

applied to it's six point four inch 19.2

five by nine screen but it also comes

packaged with a basic flat

the case which is clear so you can show

off this crazy glass back now honor has

done flashy iridescent backings in the

past but this is the first time that

they've used nano optical lithography to

give it this really funky chevron

pattern I think it looks freaking

awesome

taking it off though the sides of the

phone are metal giving it a nice premium

feeling and then around the rest of it

you'll find a USB type-c a single down

firing speaker so no stereo sound

unfortunately but at least it's

positioned so that it won't get covered

by your hand in landscape mode it's got

dual nano Sims

with dual standby support and finally a

headphone jack nice wrapping up our tour

of the outside of the phone we've got

the rear cameras so the view 20 is one

of the first devices to use Sony's IMX

586 sensor which combines a big

half-inch see most with tiny 0.8

micrometer pixels to deliver a 48

megapixel camera that's got a ton of

zany features from 960 fps slow motion

video to AI clarity mode which takes a

bunch of pictures at once then uses all

of the information to make a brighter

more detailed composite - the ability to

slim a person in video in real time so

you can enhance your body to get the

perfect look anytime anywhere James can

we try this

here's shaping level 5

now all of these AI Focus Features are

of course enabled by the view 20s Chiron

980 processor which has two NP use or

neural processing units as well as an 8

core CPU and making its first commercial

appearance the Mallee G 76 GPU it also

comes with 6 or 8 gigs of 21 33

megahertz RAM and 128 or 256 gigs of

storage with each tier corresponding to

different color options the coolest

thing about this device though is what

honor calls the 9 which is a cooling

solution that was first showcased at the

honor Note 10 conference in China back

in December 2018 it's a nine layer

thermal design including things like a

copper alloy shield an s-shaped copper

heat pipe and a graphene heatsink and

it's not the only gamer focused feature

in the view 20 it also sports three

Wi-Fi antennas since the usual two

antennas on a handset can be susceptible

to being blocked by your hands when

you're gaming in landscape mode like you

think about it your hands are basically

made of water

RF does not like water so the extra

antenna is on the back of the phone over

by the volume button here where you're

less likely to cover it and the phone

will automatically switch between

antennas according to which one has the

strongest signal the aim here was to

deliver a more consistent gaming

experience and you should have lots of

time to gain that xp with the view 20s

4,000 milliamp hour battery it's pretty

generous actually like we've seen

batteries this size on gaming phones but

a lot of the time they end up being

quite thick and the mainstream stuff

like even the plus size tends to be

around the 3500 milliamp hour range so

that's pretty nice to see finally

Honor's purple USB cable means that this

phone supports super charging so the

phone is rated for a full charge in 90

minutes or 55 percent in 30 minutes so
