• Verdict

As I mentioned at the beginning of the review, it`s evident that with the View 20, Honor is aiming to blaze a trail for smartphone trends that are expected to go big in 2019, instead of just being a follower. And if my experience with the device is anything to go by, the brand has been able to achieve that and then some more. The smartphone offers next-gen technologies without skimping on the basics of good build quality, smooth user experience and reliable battery life. Of course, the age-old rivalry bet...

As I mentioned at the beginning of the review, it`s evident that with the View 20, Honor is aiming to blaze a trail for smartphone trends that are expected to go big in 2019, instead of just being a follower. And if my experience with the device is anything to go by, the brand has been able to achieve that and then some more. The smartphone offers next-gen technologies without skimping on the basics of good build quality, smooth user experience and reliable battery life. Of course, the age-old rivalry between Honor and OnePlus continues with the latest smartphone as well, but this time I`m rooting for the former. Not that the OnePlus 6T (review) is a bad phone, but the View 20 simply comes across as a better proposition – and that too, at a similar asking price of Rs 37,999 for the base model. The higher-end version of the View 20 will set you back by Rs 45,999, which is a different territory altogether, where the device doesn`t seem to be as much of a VFM proposition. All said and done, the Honor View 20 is a solid offering and the best one yet to come out of the brand`s stables. In fact, I believe that the handset deserves a near-perfect score... if only it was priced slightly lower to make it an even more enticing proposition.
