The Honor 20 Pro is also the first smartphone on the market with a camera aperture of f/1.4.
Both smartphones have a 6.26 inch IPS-LCD screen with a Full HD+ screen resolution of 1,080 x 2,340 pixels. Just like the Mate 20, Mate 20 Pro, P30 and P30 Pro, both Honor smartphones are also powered by the Kirin 980 processor.
