The Honor 20i arrived for pre-order on Monday despite not being announced, but today the Huawei subsidiary lifted the curtain. The device comes with Kirin 710 chipset, four memory configurations and prices of under $300.
The phone looks a lot like the Honor 10i and has a 6.21-inc LCD with a waterdrop notch and a 32 MP camera tucked in. The main setup lines up three shooters – 24 MP f/1.8 main, 8 MP f/2.4 with a telephoto lens and 2 MP f/2.4 depth sensor.
The octa-core chipset is coupled with 4/128 GB, 6/64 GB, 6/128 GB, or 6/256 GB memory, but for some reason, the variant with 128 gigs storage is not available at Vmall, Huawei’s online store. Other noteworthy bits include include EMUI 9, based on Android Pie, 3,400 mAh battery and dated micro USB 2.0 port.
