Battery Life
Battery life of the View20 is something I knew would be good before I even had completed our battery suite run. The efficiency by the new Kirin 980 as shown in the Mate 20’s was just excellent, particularly in the LCD Mate 20. The View20 in this regard is very similar to the Mate 20: it sports a similar capacity 4000mAh battery, the same chipset, and also an LCD screen. The screen is probably the only differentiating factor between the two devices, as the RGBW panel of the Mate 20 might have a slight efficiency lead over the regular RGB panel of the View20.
In our web-browsing test, we confirm my suspicions as the View20 ends up with some excellent battery life results. Again as suggested, the Mate 20 still has a lead here in terms of absolute battery life, again likely due to its more efficient display panel.
In PCMark’s Work 2.0 battery life test with a more diverse APL and workloads, the View20 again scores absolutely excellently reaching top marks in battery life.
We have to remember that these results here are in fact performed with the performance mode enabled, and while I didn’t have time to repeat my tests for this review, running normal mode should see a slight improvement over this figures.
Overall, just excellent showings by the View20. Huawei & Honor’s absolute battery life has for the last few generations always been quite good, but sometimes it didn’t quite work out in performance. The new Kirin 980 is able to reach outstanding efficiency figures with both long battery life results all while being at the top of the performance charts. It’s rare for a device to be able to achieve this, and especially given that the View20 isn’t really priced at nearly as high as other high tier flagship phones.

Not really a good setting for testing a camera like that. Needs to be brighter and sunnier. Some pictures arent even comparable because they were taken in much darker light.So far I am actually impressed. I thought it would be much worse, but its actually very usable. I just love zooming in on pictures and seeing more details. This camera delivers that... in a smartphone at that. Not too long ago I thought that wouldnt ever be possible.
For me it surely would decide the choice in a smartphone. If you want really good image quality, you will need a proper standalone camera anyway.

I am really happy to hear and saw this mobile phone which has its own compatibility. It has a nice RAM and good storage space also it comes with full display screen which has no notch design on its screen.You can also click on the below link to Configure Belkin Router To Use DHCP: https://www.contactroutersupport.com/blog/a-manual...

This phone would be on my short (very short now a days) list of there was better developer support for this soc... Other than that it seems really nice.jgates603 - Thursday, January 31, 2019 - link
I don't know how the low light photos of the View20 would be preferred over an other phone. Details look like they are from a painting and very flat looking.Nupi - Friday, February 1, 2019 - link
I can get the mate 20 for slightly cheaper than the view 20 (roughly 450 vs 500 eur) - one of the two or waiting for mi 9? (i have a mate 9 so I know I can live with emui)Ritesh Benjwal - Wednesday, February 6, 2019 - link
In this article about camera explained very well. Similarly happened with the case of redmi note pro 48 megapixel camera... check this one <a href="https://techforyouths.com/">redmi note 7 camera</a>.
