Driving the hardware is a HiSilicon Kirin 980 octa-core 7nm chipset that is clocked at 2.6GHz, while the software aspect of the phone is governed by Android 9.0 Pie buttered with EMUI 9.0.1. The RAM options are 6GB and 8GB, coupled with up to 256GB of storage. The storage is non-expandable, however.
The Honor V20 also inherited the Nova 4 main rear camera; a 48MP camera that uses the Sony IMX586 1/2″ sensor is equipped at the back alongside with a secondary 3D TOF camera. The fingerprint reader can be found below the dual rear camera for biometric authentication.
The 3.5mm audio jack is located at the top, while the USB Type-C port sits comfortably at the bottom of the phone for wired connection and charging. The whole system is powered by a 4000mAh battery with supports for fast charging.
