Chinese telecom major Huawei launched its Honor series Android-based smartphones on Tuesday in London amid uncertainty over the access to key services of the operating system owned by US-based technology giant Google.
Huawei sub-brand, Honor, launched Honor 20 and Honor 20 Lite alongside Honor 20 Pro that comes as a premium smartphone in the new range.
Honor 20 and Honor 20 Lite have a 19.5:9 aspect ratio, while the Honor 20 sports an all-view display with a hole-punch design, the Honor 20 Lite has a thin-bezel display with a waterdrop-style notch.
