Editorial report

Honor 20S technical sheet

The Honor 20S suits buyers looking for an everyday phone with a well-rounded set of features, provided they can accept less battery capacity than most phones launched around the same time. Its 3,750 mAh battery is below average for its era, while 20 W fast charging is above average.

The 6.26-inch IPS LCD display has a density of 412 ppi, among the highest of phones from that period. Its 8 GB of RAM is more than most contemporaries offer, and the AnTuTu score of 303,283 is above average. Those figures help place the hardware in context; they do not predict how the phone will feel in every task.

The camera is above average overall, and its 48 MP resolution is higher than that of most phones launched around the same time. The setup also includes an 8 MP ultrawide camera and a 2 MP macro camera. The main camera records video at 1080p at 30 fps. Android 9 and 128 GB of storage round out the configuration, but storage cannot be expanded.

With a NeoScore of 4.7, the Honor 20S is best suited to buyers who value a sharp display, ample RAM and camera flexibility, and are comfortable with a smaller battery capacity than most phones of its time.
