Kirin 980 was one of the more capable chipsets around when it launched, and it still holds up for everyday multitasking and gaming here, paired with either 6GB or 8GB of RAM and up to 256GB of storage. There's no microSD slot though, so you're stuck with whatever storage tier you pick. The 6.4-inch IPS LCD panel runs at 1080 x 2310 with a sharp 398 ppi density, decent for video and browsing even without a high refresh rate.
The 48MP main camera is joined by a TOF 3D sensor instead of a second regular lens, useful for depth effects and AR features rather than zoom. Front-facing, there's a 25MP camera tucked into a punch-hole cutout. A 4000 mAh battery with 22.5W fast charging keeps things running through a full day, and NFC plus an infrared port round out the practical extras. Honor View 20 price in Malaysia starts from RM1099, which puts it in a spot worth comparing against other Kirin 980 or similar-tier phones from the same period.
