Same design as Honor 20
As a sister phone to the Honor 20 that it is, the Honor 20S has the same design as its namesake. Same screen size of 6.2 inches and a finish made of glass that leaves us with shades whose color varies depending on the incidence of light.
Like the Honor 20, the design of the front is made up of an island-shaped notch and a fingerprint sensor that is located on the right side of the terminal and lacks a headphone jack in the absence of official confirmation. . The screen, by the way, consists of an IPS LCD panel with Full HD + resolution . No AMOLED at the moment.
The Kirin 810 shows off in the mid-range of Honor
How could it be otherwise, the Kirin 810 together with the Mali-G52 MP6 GPU is the processor that presides over the entire set made up of the Honor 20S. Along with this we find no less than 6 and 8 GB of RAM and a single storage option of 128 GB.
All other features are not far behind, because we have a battery of 3,750 mAh and rapid charging system that reaches 22.5 W . In the section of the community we find all kinds of connections: NFC, dual band WiFi, Bluetooth 5.0 and GPS compatible with all satellites.
The triple camera as a turning point
Beyond the technical section of the device, the reason for being in front of the Honor 20 Lite is its camera, or rather, its cameras. The Honor 20S has a triple camera system with 48, 8 and 2 megapixel sensors and focal aperture f / 1.8 and f / 2.4 . While the second sensor consists of a wide angle lens, the third limits its functions to improving the depth of photographs in portrait mode.
And what about the front camera? In the absence of official confirmation, it uses the same sensor as the Honor 20 and 20 Pro, with a single 32-megapixel camera and f / 2.0 focal aperture .
Price and availability of the Honor 20S in Spain
Because the terminal has been presented in China, the data about the availability of the Honor 20S in Spain is not yet public. Yes, its price is, which starts at 240 euros at the exchange rate .
