Huawei’s sub-brand Honor has finally launched its View 20 in India after releasing the phone in China last year in December. Here’s take a look at the phone comparison with the Samsung Galaxy A8s, which is also a camera-centric smartphone with the similar design as the View 20.
The View 20 is the first smartphone by the Chinese company that features a 48MP camera at the back. The phone has a punch hole cut out on the front for a selfie camera, which makes this device almost bezel-less and ideal for those who spend most of their time watching movies or reading blogs on their phone. On the other hand, the Samsung Galaxy A8s is almost similar to the View 20 in terms of design. The phone has a punch hole cut out at the front for a selfie camera and a triple camera setup on the back. Let’s do a quick specs comparison of the two to know which device is better when it comes to hardware at least on paper.
