What the critics say (scores are out of 100)

Expert Reviews | Christopher Minasians

...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.

The Guardian | Samuel Gibbs

It's not cheap by any stretch of the imagination, but if you want a big, top-end phone with a cracking camera at a much more affordable price the Honor View20 is it.

The Honor View 20 is, overall, the best mid-range smartphone on the market today. 2019 has only just started, and Honor has set a very high bar straight out of the gate ...

TechAeris | Alex Hernandez

The build quality is excellent and the display is beautiful for an LCD. It performs amazingly well and the camera is top notch, even though it has way too many options. Battery life is great, and I think the price is right giving you plenty of value. Overall, the Honor View 20 is a great device and, if you're not wanting to dish out the higher price of a Samsung Galaxy S10+ or Google Pixel 3XL, then this is one to consider.

TechPP (Technology Personalized) | Akriti Rana

If you are looking for an Android flagship without damaging your bank account too much, the View 20 definitely is an option – it scores heavily on design, packs in excellent performance has very good cameras (even though we expected more) and has a battery that goes on and on.

Android Headlines | Nick Sutrich

For the price, it's going to be hard to find much better than the HONOR View20. It's easily one of the best values on the market today and handily rivals even the excellent OnePlus 6 and OnePlus 6T in overall value and quality.

Trusted Reviews | Max Parker

With flagship phones becoming more expensive – no one is expecting the upcoming Galaxy S10 to come at a price that's anywhere close to this – the View 20 is the ideal antidote.

The Inquirer | Lee Bell

Overall, we are very impressed with what Honor has managed to engineer here with its latest flagship. With its starting price, we couldn't ask for more; well, apart from perhaps the addition of some IP certification.

Advanced features, great battery life and a good price: the only real part to put you off the Honor View 20 is that ambitious shiny finish.

Neowin | Rich Woods

If you're located in a region where the Honor View 20 is easily available, you definitely can't go wrong with this device. If you want a step up though, go for a Huawei Mate 20 Pro, although you'll end up paying quite a bit more.

MobileTechTalk | Domenico Lamberti

Whilst its price isn't cheap by any means, it's still a lot cheaper than the S9+, Note 9, Mate 20 Pro, V40 etc. And I really feel comfortable saying this is up there and deserves to be up there.

Know Your Mobile | Damien McFerran

When you consider it costs almost half as much as its rivals, the Honor View 20 ranks as astonishing value for money and is sure to be one of the year's most talked-about handsets

The Honor View 20 kicks off 2019 with a strong start. It's powerful, competitively priced, and the hole-punch display is a good preview for what we can expect from smartphones in 2019.

Mr Phone | Ershad Kaleebullah

I am convinced that this is Honor's best phone yet. Despite using several "world first" technologies, Honor has managed to create a product supremely refined and attractive. I will wholeheartedly recommend the View 20 to anyone looking for a phone.

If you're in the market looking for a phone, you of course have the OnePlus 6T as an option, but the View 20 is probably the one to go for right now.

AnandTech | Andrei Frumusanu

Honor's marketing materials position the device against the highest flagships, such as the iPhone XS, Galaxy Note9, or OnePlus 6T. The one weak point where the View20 can't compete with these devices is in screen quality...and here I don't see the hole-in-display camera as some sort of competitive advantage that would give the phone any kind of higher worth price wise...users will be disappointed with the View20 – given its performance, expected battery life, as well as camera performance, even though it's not a perfect device and has a lot of rough edges or missing some features, for the price it does offer excellent package that is hard to argue against.

SlashGear | JC Torres

Overall, the Honor View 20 makes a pretty compelling offer of a mobile companion that can get you through the day and more, provided you don't expect too much from it as far as advanced features go.

Wired UK | Robert Leedham

If Honor's View 20 has set the bar for smartphones in 2019, then it's done so at bronze medal standard. There'll be better handsets to see release this year, but not many. Especially at its price mark.

The Honor View 20 is hard to criticize... I find myself at ease with Magic UI, and I'd personally favor the View 20 between the 6T and View 20.

Pocket-lint | Mike Lowe

As the first phone outside of China with a 'hole-punch' front-facing camera it's easy to judge this phone on this aspect alone. But the Honor V20 is so much more. This is a flagship alternative that gets (ahem) a hole lot else right too.

NDTV Gadgets | Aditya Shenoy

If you prefer a clean near stock Android experience, the OnePlus 6T offers a clear advantage, but if you absolutely want to be the first to own a device with a hole-punch display, go ahead. The View 20 is a solid performer without a lot of compromises.

Gizmodo UK | Sam Rutherford

The View 20 is a stunningly good-looking device and surprisingly sharp picture taker. And for a lot of people who don't want to drop a grand on a phone that can still make peoples heads snap, that's a pretty respectable formula.

Firstpost | Sheldon Pinto

Get this phone if you hate the display notch and can deal with Magic UI... I would recommend the Honor View 20 if you are fed up of the display notch and if you want to be the first to jump on to the hole-punch display trend, which is bound to catch up this year, among the premium flagship smartphones.

The Honor View 20 does have what it takes to ruffle more than a few feathers of the competition. The punched hole display is a neat innovation and overall performance is very good.

Tom's Guide | Marc Chaksfield

Attractive, powerful and reasonably priced, the View 20 is a strong first step into the top-end flagship world by Honor, sitting comfortably among far more expensive phones from far larger brands.

How HandsetExpert Works: We don't run ads on the site, or charge users to use the site. The site is funded using commission links, where we may receive a commission if a phone or tariff is purchased via HandsetExpert. Our editorial, phone scoring and recommendation system and deal-finding algorithms are not affected by this; we are fiercely committed to providing unbiased, independent information.

Important notes

  • We aim to compare as many tariffs in the marketplace from the UK as possible. However, we do not include every package (e.g. legacy tariffs no longer available, or tariffs only available to existing/specific customers), nor do we detail every aspect of every tariff (e.g. international out of bundle rates, on-network minutes, etc).
  • SIM Only deals do not include plans shorter than 30 days or Pay As You Go rates.
  • We work really hard to get accurate prices from as many providers as possible, but some deals or providers may not be included; if there’s anything we’ve missed then please get in touch and let us know.
  • Whenever we can, we will let you know if a deal is time limited (such as a flash deal), and when the deal expires.
  • For tariffs which offer "unlimited" allowances, there may be times where traffic management or fair usage policies apply.
  • Additional charges for payment methods other than direct debit and for itemised/paper billing may apply.
  • Data only SIM cards, mobile broadband packages, and pay monthly tablets are currently not included in the comparison.
  • Out of bundle charges are not included in the calculation of Average Monthly Cost.
  • Contracts may not be available for some phone models in all colours and/or sizes, and a small number may only be available either as a pay monthly contract or a contract free handset, but not both.
  • Providers may increase the cost of your contract by RPI (inflation). However, if prices are increased that then cause a materially detrimental impact, you have the right to exit your contract without penalty. More details available from Ofcom plus comparative information on customer service and complaints handling & their guide on how to complain.
  • Ofcom runs a voluntary accreditation scheme for digital comparison tools (DCTs) for telephone, broadband and pay-TV, and has confirmed that this DCT meets the criteria for accreditation. For further details about the scheme, including the criteria that DCTs must meet, visit the price comparison page on the Ofcom website.
