find a huge 1/2” 48MP main camera sensor with f/1.8 aperture and 0.8um pixel
size, together with a TOF 3D stereo camera. The TOF 3D camera enables depth
sensing, skeletal tracking, as well as real-time motion capture. You can also
play 3D motion games “like never before”. Additionally, real-time
video retouching is available, as the 3D cam separates the subject from the

4000mAh battery that charges at 5V/4,5A, which makes it to go from 0 to 55% in
just 30 minutes. The Honor View 20 runs on Android 9 Pie with Magic UI 2 on
top.There’s a 3.5mm headphone jack on board, and the fingerprint sensor is on
