Merely a couple-odd weeks after the official debut of the Honor 20 series in London, the Chinese giant today launched the entire lineup in India. This lineup features the flagship Honor 20 and Honor 20 Pro which sport not only the company’s flagship chipset but also quad-cameras, alongwith the Honor 20i with a slightly less powerful chipset and a trio of cameras for mid-range users.
Honor has kept the choices limited and launched only a single configuration for all of the different Honor 20 variants. The Honor 20i with 4GB RAM and 128GB onboard storage is going to retail at Rs 14,999 and the Honor 20 with 6GB RAM and 128GB storage will be sold for Rs 32,999. The former goes on sale from June 18. whereas the sales for the latter will kick-off on June 25 on Flipkart and other offline retail channels.
Honor 20 and Honor 20 Pro are not a whole lot different from one another, except for on the camera front. Both of them feature a holographic 3D mesh design on the glass rear panel and a 6.26-inch Full-HD+ display with a punch-hole on the front. There’s a 32MP selfie camera sitting in the punch-hole of both the Honor 20 and Honor 20 Pro.
As for the Honor 20, there’s a minor difference in the camera unit. The primary sensor onboard is still the 48MP Sony IMX586 sensor, but with an f/1.8 aperture, and a 16MP ultra-wide angle lens and the 2MP macro lens are onboard as well. However, the final sensor is now a depth sensor. Also, there’s no stabilization added to any lenses on the Honor 20, which is saddening to see on a sub-Rs 35,000 smartphone.
Honor 20i: Specs and Features
In addition to the flagships – Honor 20 and Honor 20 Pro, the Chinese giant also launched its new mid-range smartphone to take on the likes of Redmi Note 7 Pro and Realme 3 Pro. Called the Honor 20i, the device features a waterdrop notch, a slightly less powerful SoC and triple cameras on the rear instead of four.
