Huawei will keep to its policy of bringing its latest phones to the Indian market as soon as they are launched globally. The next device from the company’s sub-brand Honor to be launched in India will be the Honor View 20. The phone is lasted for a global launch in Paris on January 22 while the event to launch it here is fixed for January 29. The company is already sending out invites, it is reported. The phone will sport a 48MP rear shooter, maybe a first for any smartphone.

The specifications of the Honor View 20 include a 6.4inch full HD+ display with a screen resolution of 1080x2310pixels. The screen will occupy most of the space with no notch and the thinnest of bezels all around. Huawei has fitted its top end octa core Kirin 980 chipset built on the 7nm platform. The phone is likely to be released in two RAM/ROM variants. One 6GB RAM with 128GB internal storage and another with 8GB RAM and 256GB storage will be sold. This phone won’t be provided with the slot for the microSD card. The operating system will be the Android Pie version 9.0 and the UI Magic 2.0 will form the skin on top of that.

A Sony IMX586 camera of 48MP rating will adorn the rear panel and it will be coupled with a ToF 3D camera making it a dual camera setup in the rear. The front camera is 25MP for selfies. The rear panel also has the fingerprint sensor. The phone’s battery is rated at 4000mAh. Huawei claims that the Honor View 20 will come with the Super Charge support and a mere 30 minutes charge will be good enough to last the whole day. The phone will have the full connectivity suite and will be available in four colour options: Sea Blue, Phantom Blue, Red and Magic Night Black.

The pricing will be known only close to the launch when the pre-orders may open.
