According to recent leaks, the Honor 20 is powered by Huawei’s Kirin 980 (2 x Cortex A76 2.6 GHz + 2 x Cortex A76 1.92 GHz + 4 x Cortex A55 1.8 GHz) processor with 720 MHz ARM Mali-G76MP10 GPU. It comes in 6GB / 8GB LPDDR4x RAM and 128GB / 256GB storage options.
In terms of optics, the new handset sports quad camera set up on the back. The 48-megapixel 1/2-inch Sony IMX586 sensor comes with ‘4-in-1 Light Fusion’ system (saves a 12-megapixel image by default) and f/1.8 aperture.
The Sony sensor is said to be a customized version (built in collaboration with Sony). It will sport a Red-Yellow-Yellow-Blue (RYYB) filter instead of the regular Red-Green-Green-Blue (RGGB). Recently, Huawei customized the 48-megapixel Sony IMX600 sensor on Huawei P30 Pro with an RYYB filter array.
Additionally, it features a 16-megapixel wide-angle lens (117-degree field of view, f/2.2 aperture), a 2-megapixel depth sensor, and a 2-megapixel macro lens (f/2.4 aperture).
For selfies and video calling, the smartphone sports a 32-megapixel front camera. It is backed by a 3650mAh battery with 22.5W (4.5V-5A) fast charging support.
