The Honor 20 Pro creates a stir in the region with its camera capabilities. It has received the 2nd highest score attained by any smartphone of 111 points from DxOMark, the gold standard benchmark for camera quality in the industry. The achievement can largely be attributed to the company’s pursuit of innovation. This is the first time Honor has introduced a flagship device that comes equipped with a Sony IMX586 48MP AI quad-camera with an industry-largest f/1.4 wide aperture for a better low-light photography experience.

Due to this, light is both reflected and refracted in all directions to make for a mesmerizing and depth-inducing optical effect, something that sets the Honor 20 Pro apart from its predecessors and the competition.
Aside from this, the phone also features a side-mounted fingerprint scanner that is comfortable and faster than in-screen fingerprint scanners we currently find on rival flagships.
