Despite its parent Huawei currently being faced with a very hard time, following the trade ban imposed by the U.S government and Google cutting ties with it, Honor hasn’t delayed the launch of its latest flagship lineup – the Honor 20 series. The Chinese giant has today unveiled on stage in London the Honor 20, Honor 20 Pro, and a mid-ranger Honor 20 Lite to cater to all segments of users.
The Honor 20 series has been priced starting at 499 euros (roughly amounts to Rs 39,000) in the European market. The 6GB RAM and 128GB storage variant of Honor 20 is going to retail at the said price, whereas their 8GB RAM and 256GB storage variant of the higher-end Honor 20 Pro will retail at 599 euros (roughly amounts to Rs 46,500).
Starting off with the design, Honor 20 series has adopted a 3D triple mesh technology to give the rear panel its shiny finish (dynamic holographic design) where you can see some vertical lines. It includes three layers- a glass layer, color layer, and depth layer (with micro-crystals that reflect light) to make the rear design a reality.
The Honor 20 Pro features a 6.26-inch Full-HD+ punch-hole display, which the company touts is the smallest selfie punch-hole on any device. There’s a 32MP selfie sensor sitting inside the punch-hole camera.
Honor 20 Pro offers 30x digital zoom capabilities, following into the footsteps of its parent. There’s also a moonshot mode onboard, but it’s backed by AI capabilities as compared to P30 Pro’s periscope lens.

There were the camera specs of the Honor 20 Pro and the same hasn’t been carried over for the Honor 20. The primary sensor onboard is still the 48MP Sony IMX586 but with an f/1.8 aperture, the 16MP ultra-wide angle lens and the 2MP macro lens stays too, but the fourth sensor is now a depth sensor. Also, there’s no stabilization added to any lenses on the Honor 20.
Honor 20 Lite
Honor isn’t making consumers wait around and is also debuting a new mid-ranger to go along with the Honor 20 series. This smartphone is named the Honor 20 Lite and there’s certainly a number of key differences here, starting with the waterdrop notch which has replaced the punch-hole here.
