Reviews for the Honor 20 Pro

82.9% Honor 20 Pro Smartphone Review – Quad-Cam and a lot of Stamina | Notebookcheck
Honor packs a whopping four photographic objectives on the rear of the Honor 20 Pro, which is a slight upgrade over the Honor 20's setup. Read in our test, whether it and the rather beefy battery justify the 100-Euro (~$111) premium for the Pro model.
92% Review: Honor 20 Pro
Source: What Mobile English Archive.org version
The Honor 20 Pro has a lot of similarities to the Honor 20. One would question would I need the 20 pro when the Honor 20 is basically the same thing. Apart from a few changes. The key differences and what makes this phone worth the purchase are the optical zoom and overall camera. If I was going to find fault with this phone being left-handed the fingerprint sensor is on the wrong side of the phone but it is something you can handle and was not a deal-breaker. Once you get used to that you will find unlocking your phone much better compared to the face ID in an iPhone X that sometimes does not work. Another issue I have with this phone is it’s not water-resistant so be careful when you take your phone down by the pool or beach on holiday. The Honor 20 Pro is not able to use wireless charging but with massive battery life and the fact you have fast charging you can live without wireless charging.

Honor 20 Pro front camera review
Source: DxOMark English Archive.org version
Although the Honor 20 Pro doesn’t challenge the top performers overall, good exposure, white balance, and noise control ensure that it delivers pleasant selfies in most conditions. Add to that a good video performance, and the front camera is a competent, if not stellar, addition for those primarily interested in this device’s impressive specs and excellent main camera.

53% Honor 20 Pro Audio review
Source: DxOMark English Archive.org version
Our expectations before we tested the Honor 20 Pro may have been raised because of the good test results of its camera capabilities when launched in May. However, the overall results for audio were rather disappointing: the speaker scores were inadequate (but not the worst), although spatial playback was a particular problem. However, the flagship device from Honor fared better as a recording device. It did stumble occasionally, but only on the use cases that all the other devices have found difficult, such as recording electronic concerts. On the whole, the Honor is worth a consideration for those who don’t want to spend premium flagship money on a smartphone but still desire decent sound performance.

85% Honor 20 Pro – Review
Source: Cool Smartphone English Archive.org version
Of bigger concern is the fact that Honor is being subjected to some serious competition from the like of Xiaomi and Nokia (HMD), Samsung and Motorola – the last three of which have got a bigger high street presence. This would be fine if it was not for the £549.95 price tag, as this is a very hotly contended area on the market right now. The real problem is that other manufacturers are putting in devices with competing specs and also in some cases better specs for the same level of money or less. I feel that for this reason the more sensible choice is the cheaper but by no means inferior Honor 20. The exception to that rule is if you need a high performing camera phone without the high price ticket, then you would be best served with the Honor 20 Pro.

Honor 20 Pro Camera Review

The Honor 20 Pro performs very well at its price point and achieves the goal of providing excellent photographic capabilities. Overall, the Honor 20 Pro camera is vastly superior to the iPhone Xs camera, thanks to its low-light performance, high-powered zoom, and ultrawide versatility.

80% Honor 20 Pro review: Another stunning design, another Kirin 980 device
Source: Neowin English Archive.org version
The Honor 20 Pro is a great device. It has a stunning holographic design and fantastic cameras that will rival most other premium phones. My biggest issue is that I'm just not quite sure where it stands. Beautiful Huawei/Honor phones with a Kirin 980 and great cameras are common enough, with the P30, P30 Pro, Mate 20, Mate 20 Pro, and Honor View 20. I'm honestly not sure if you should buy this or the View 20, since they're so similar. The premium market needs to be more differentiated than that.

Honor 20 Pro – First Impressions
Source: Cool Smartphone English Archive.org version
Lastly, I would like to mention the fingerprint reader – it is great. I have to say that I do like a physical fingerprint reader over the under-screen/in-screen option. I guess it is just from my Xperia days, but it just feels right and 9 times out 10 it will work exactly as prescribed. Something that cannot be said for the former versions. So I commend Honor for being “brave” enough to buck the trend and use it here.

The Honor 20 Pro goes all out on cameras, and it's a great choice if you love taking selfies in particular. The fact that it costs so much less than the Huawei P30 and OnePlus 7 Pro makes it even more tempting. The Honor 20 Pro stacks up well against its rivals, and is a great alternative to the OnePlus 7 Pro - especially if you love taking selfies.

With the price of RM2,299, the HONOR 20 Pro is currently HONOR's highest-end smartphone with quadruple usable rear-facing cameras. Having a macro camera on a phone really is useful for me personally, although I think the software really needs drastic improvements.

HONOR 20 Pro review - The quad-camera smartphone the masses have been waiting for
Source: Tech Nave English Archive.org version
If you like the HONOR 20, then you will LOVE the HONOR 20 Pro more. Coupled with the mystic design, gaming and battery performance, photography and videography potential. I personally think the HONOR 20 Pro is more suited for people who are in the lifestyle business (like vloggers) and the RM2299 is just at the right pricing. Given 111 points by DxOMark, it's certainly a powerhouse camera phone that most consumers can utilize, particularly in low-light photography and portrait modes. Even though I didn't take most of the photos, I really enjoyed looking at the photos taken by my colleagues.

Honor's most ambitious phone yet, the 20 Pro packs quad cameras onto the rear and a 32Mp selfie camera in a tiny punch-hole in the screen. We put this top-of-the-range contender through its paces.

Then there’s the biggie: until the whole Huawei being shunned by all the big component makers thing is solved, it’s hard to recommend the Honor 20 Pro. Honor likes to tell us it operates as a separate company, but they are part of the same tech monolith, so will likely be affected all the same. Time will tell and we will updating this review...

80% Honor 20 Pro review: Camera clout without considerable cost
Source: Pocket Lint English Archive.org version
But it's not quite perfect. The macro camera is a pointless addition in our view, there's no 3.5mm headphone jack and some details - such as the notification light being irritatingly in-your-face behind the front-facing ear speaker - aren't as refined as they could be. And why both the Pro and the standard model need to exist we're not sure, as we'd forego some of the Pro's camera extras and save £150 in buying the normal Honor 20.

Honor 20 Pro Review: With Side Fingerprint is Unbeatable Performance

Capacitive side fingerprints are higher than the screen fingerprint in both speed and recognition rate, especially when used under wet hands, the capacitive side fingerprints that can be quickly unlocked are dominant. Also because of the use of the side fingerprints, the Honor 20 Pro back look is seamless, with a compact body and a variety of gestures, it is easy to operate with one hand under the 6.26-inch screen.

Overall, the Honor 20 Pro is a great choice for anyone who wants the best performance, a great camera, and a modern design, without breaking the bank. It’s not an instant recommendation because of the potential implications of an Android ban, and the fact that it has strong competition. However, definitely give it a shot if you’ve found yourself tempted by Huawei, but can’t really justify paying $900-$1000 for the brand name.

All in all, the Honor 20 Pro is a great alternative to ever-growing prices of today's flagships even though the handset isn't the cheapest ones around. It enters the premium territory easily. And if you are willing to overlook the IPS LCD panel, the lack of 3.5mm audio jack and the punch-hole camera design, the Honor 20 Pro is an excellent all-rounder.

The Honor 20 Pro is an excellent phone that combines some high-end specs with a price less intimidating than the Huawei P30 Pro’s or Samsung Galaxy S10’s. If you want maxed-out gaming power, you’re better off with a OnePlus 7. And the Asus ZenFone 6 has both more power, a larger battery and more eye-catching motorised camera.

The Honor 20 Pro makes it very close to the top of our DxOMark Mobile ranking, thanks to good Photo and Video performances across the board and no significant areas of weakness. Its zoom performance is topped only by the current number one device, the Huawei P30 Pro; and the 20 Pro’s ultra-wide-angle and macro camera, while not currently covered by our test protocol, should provide added value to many mobile photographers. If you’re in the market for a new smartphone with excellent imaging capabilities, the Honor 20 Pro should be very high up on your list of options, especially if you want to save a little bit of cash compared to the more established competition.

As always, Honor is offering good value flagship and also a bit more affordable version as well - the regular Honor 20. Both come equipped with plenty of flagship-worthy hardware while keeping up with the recent trends of unique gradient color options, punch-hole camera design and multiple cameras all of which are useful, by the way.

All in all, the Honor 20 Pro ends up being something like a more affordable version of Huawei’s flagships. Honor is not likely to sell this phone in the United States, but it will bring it to Europe and the UK, and the price is set at 600 euro, less than the price of a OnePlus phone, which is definitely very competitive.

Without knowing the exact price, it's hard to say how the Honor 20 Pro stacks up against its rivals, but if it's £600, then the OnePlus 7 Pro is a better deal. Closer to £500 and it may well be the phone for you if you love taking selfies. But if not, and you don't mind losing the wide and telephoto cameras, then the View 20 should be a tempting alternative, especially if you can live with 128GB of internal storage.

More worrisome than the actual product itself is Huawei’s and Honor’s position due to US Commerce Department’s addition of the company to the trade blacklist, with Google not supporting the vendor with software updates. Currently there’s just better alternatives out there, and buyers might find significantly better value and return for their money if they pay a little more for say a Galaxy S10 or a OnePlus 7 Pro instead of the Honor 20 Pro.

Comment

Model: One might think that Huawei is famous for giving high spec phones at a slightly lower price compared to the equivalent or inferior Samsung. If this is true, Honor does exactly the same thing to its parent brand, Huawei. The Honor 20 Pro is a perfect example of this. The Honor 20 Pro has an excellent build quality with seamless transition between the side frameworks to the front and back glass. Many users report that it feels very much alike to the iPhone Xs series. Like the View 20, the Honor 20 Pro comes with a punch hole display on the left to give a full screen experience. Unlike the View 20 though, the Honor 20 comes with a side mounted fingerprint scanner. The fingerprint scanner is extremely fast and reliable but a little too narrow for regular usage. Fortunately, the Honor 20 also features an excellent face unlocking feature. On the top of the phone is the long-lost IR blaster and the microphone. The sim tray sits on the left side and microphone, USB-C 2.0 port and the speaker are on the bottom edge. The display is a 6.26-inch IPS LCD with a resolution of 1,080 x 2,340 pixels. Thescreen-to-body ratio is 84.1%. As for the hardware, it features a HiSilicon Kirin 980 processor, 256 GB of built in memory and 8 GB of RAM. The storage cannot be expended by inserting a memory card though.

As for the camera, the Honor 20 Pro comes with a quad camera setup for the rear camera. The first one is a 48 MP wide lens with OIS, the second is a 8 MP telephoto lens with OIS and 3x optical zoom, the third one is a 16 MP ultra wide lens and the fourth is a 2 MP dedicated macro camera. It can capture videos in 4K resolution. As per early reviews, many are saying that the image quality is amazing and qualifies to sit on top there with the bests. The front facing camera takes a more traditional approach with its single camera setup. It’s a 32 MP sensor. The Honor 20 Pro also comes with the latest Bluetooth 5.0 for faster connections. It has a large 4,000 mAh battery, which supports Huawei’s 22.5W fast charging. The phone comes in two colors, Phantom blue and Phantom black. For its price, design and build quality, the Honor 20 Pro is definitely a bang for the buck. It offers everything that is important for a phone and omits the specs that are less needed such as wireless charging and a water resistance rating. Its main competitor is the Redmi Note 7, which tends to do slightly better in the performance area due to its Snapdragon processor.

ARM Mali-G76 MP10: Integrated graphics card based on the second generation of the Bifrost architecture. Uses 10 of the 20 possible clusters and according to ARM offers twice the performance per cluster than the old Mali-G72.

6.26":

It is a small display format for smartphones. You shouldn't be severely defective in vision, and you won't see much detail on the screen and only have a small resolution available. For that, the device should be small and handy, easy to transport.

» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.


Honor:

In 2014 Huawei created the sub brand Honor and offers certain smartphone series under this name. Occasionally the products are also called Huawei Honor.

The market share of Honor products is manageable, but there are several reviews on Honor smartphones with average ratings (as of 2016).


82.82%: This rating is slightly above average, there are somewhat more devices with worse ratings. However, clear purchase recommendations look different.
