Honor 20

Expert Reviews | Christopher Minasians, Matt Breen

...an incredible package: it's worth remembering that the phones I've compared it go up to £889. Yet View 20 is as powerful as any of them, and arguably beats them all with its innovative notchless design. The rear-facing camera might not win in every category, but it's perfectly competent – and as a bonus, the phone retains the 3.5mm headphone jack. At this price, there's simply nothing to compete with the Honor View 20.

You will be very hard pressed to find a smartphone that can rival the Honor 20 at this price point, even more so if you are a compulsive camera user. It is fast, well designed and its only real weakness is its software.

Pocket-lint | Mike Lowe

Great design, solid performance, a lenient asking price, and decent cameras all stack up on the Honor 20's side.

The Honor 20 proves to be an impressively well-rounded smartphone. The device's performance can be enhanced by activating its high-performance mode, although this impacts battery life. This is very good at almost 11 hours and can easily keep up with its competition.

Overall I am very impressed with what the phone is able to offer in the camera area and I think that most people looking for a point and shoot camera will be as well. If however, you are looking for extra zoom capabilities then you may wish to check out the Honor 20 Pro or indeed the phone I use – the P30 Pro – as they both offer better zoom capabilities albeit with the same primary lens setup.

Overall, the Honor 20 is an excellent compromise, giving a flexible camera experience and keeping a decent chunk of cash in your pocket at the same time.

At this same price point, you have the OnePlus 7 which offers a cleaner Android Pie experience and faster performance ... the Honor 20, however, offers a more versatile set of camera that can do things that the OnePlus 7 cannot.

AndroidPit | Jessica Murgia

Well made and well equipped, it offers fluid performance and good battery life. Even the photographic experience does not disappoint, despite the fact that two of the photosensors on the back seem to have been integrated more for marketing than for a real utility.

Honor 20 is a solid offering if you're not bothered by the recent turn of events with the parent company. The OnePlus 7 would still be our top pick at this price.

TechRadar | Jon Mundy

The Honor 20 is for anyone who wants a fast, well-designed phone that offers the kind of hardware you'd expect to find on a flagship - but for less than half the price.

Stuff | Tom Morgan

A...flagship with lots to like, but one major concern: the giant political weight hovering over parent brand Huawei. If that's a deal-breaker, great hardware isn't going to change your mind.

The Guardian | Samuel Gibbs

For now, the Honor 20 offers a nearly top-flight experience for just £400, which is a great deal. But it's a great deal that could easily sour if things don't go Huawei's way.

91mobiles | Prateek Pandey

The Honor 20 faces stiff competition from the OnePlus 7, which offers slightly faster performance and a cleaner software to boot. That said, the Honor 20 offers much better cameras, so it's a toss-up between the two handsets.

NDTV Gadgets | Nadeem Sarwar

The Honor 20 is a very capable phone and offers a lot of what buyers are looking for, but the uncertainty around Huawei and Honor's future with the Android ecosystem should make buyers think twice.

Android Authority | Oliver Cragg

... the bar for what constitutes a truly great mid-range phone has been irrevocably raised by Google's achievements with the Pixel 3a. The Honor 20 may have just scraped over the bar this time, but in a post-Pixel 3a world it comes very close to falling underneath.

TechPP (Technology Personalized) | Akriti Rana

While it delivers when it comes to general performance, the device disappoints in the camera department. The phone goes head to head with OnePlus 7 which is the phone to beat in the segment, packing great specs and performance, and comes with a formidable reputation.

The Indian Express | Anuj Bhatia

There's also a question mark over future Google support - and until that's clear it would be really hard to recommend the Honor 20.

PC Mag | Adam Smith

The Honor 20 is a good midrange Android phone, but it's not a strong enough contender to knock the Google Pixel 3a from its pedestal.

Gadgets Now | Komal Mohan

Overall, we can say that the device will not disappoint you when it comes to your day-to-day tasks. The smartphone offers a design that looks premium, packs a quad-camera setup, comes powered by a flagship processor and also includes a battery that will last long enough to not make you look for your charger multiple times a day.
