Honor 20

Verdict

The Honor 20 faces stiff competition from the OnePlus 7 (review), 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.Buyers should also watch out for the upcoming ASUS 6Z (first impressions), which ships with an articulating camera mechanism and the latest Silicon from Qualcomm.

The Honor 20 faces stiff competition from the OnePlus 7 (review), 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.Buyers should also watch out for the upcoming ASUS 6Z (first impressions), which ships with an articulating camera mechanism and the latest Silicon from Qualcomm. Our initial impressions of the handset were quite positive, so you might want to wait for our full review of the phone before adding any device to your cart.I`ve spent over two weeks with the Honor 20 in my pockets and for the first time in a while, the most used app on my phone has been the camera application. What`s even more fascinating is that unlike the Google Pixel 3a - which too is a fantastic camera phone - Honor didn`t cut any corners in the performance or the design department to make the Honor 20 affordable.Suffice it to say, the Honor 20 is a phenomenal flagship and I cannot recommend it enough. Unfortunately, owing to its parent company`s ongoing dispute with the US Government, some buyers might sway away from the phone, and who can blame them? That said, things could change for the better just in case the ban is rescinded in the near future. If it`s any consolation, the Honor 20 has been certified by Google and therefore, while the device might not get the Android Q update, it will get regular security patches and full support for Google Play services. If you can look past the brand`s ongoing conflicts, then at a starting price of Rs 32,999, the Honor 20 is a no-brainer.
