Honor has already unveiled that its V20 is powered by the HiSilicon Kirin 980 SoC, which is the company’s latest flagship chip with dual NPU and ISP. The phone also features a 48MP rear camera which employs the Sony IMX586 sensor. The camera makes use of AI with the help of dual-ISP and dual-NPU on the Kirin 980, and is said to automatically perform multi-frame image processing for capturing better, more detailed images. The device's main camera features a massive 1/2.0-inch CMOS sensor with 0.8 µm/pixel configuration and 4-in1 Light Fusion, which is basically pixel binning technology. However, a new report suggests that there might also be a ToF (Time of Flight) 3D camera sensor on the back. The phone is said to be announced today in three variants, two with 6GB RAM and with options between 64GB and 128GB of internal storage, another with 8GB RAM and 256GB of onboard storage
In terms of the display, Honor says that the V20’s screen extends to “almost” 100 percent, thanks to the punch hole design for the front camera. Additionally, the new cutout design is said to have been achieved with the help of an 18-layer technology stack. The front camera cutout is 4.5mm in diameter and as mentioned earlier, the new display design is being called Full-View Display 3.0. The handset also features a new Link Turbo option, which is said to assess network conditions to automatically switch between Wi-Fi or 4G networks. A similar option comes built-in in Android phones. However, what’s new is that Honor’s Link Turbo tech is said to be capable of boosting download speeds by adopting both networks. It’s not clear whether both Wi-Fi and cellular networks are used simultaneously or not.
The handset could also feature AI dual-frequency GPS for enhanced accuracy and is expected to be launched running on EMUI 9 based on Android Pie out-of-the-box.
