The Honor 20 Pro: A Quad-camera Hands-On Review

Video recording of the Honor 20 Pro sees an upgrade thanks to the introduction of OIS, however it’s not all great.

Recording at 60fps at 1080 is very good on the main camera sensor and the OIS is immediately visible. However when switching over to the wide-angle module, things aren’t looking as great as we’re seeing severe detail degradation more apt of a 720p or lower recording, something which is backed up by the resulting bit-rate and file size of the video.

Recording in 4K30 doesn’t see nearly as a big detail hit on the wide-angle lens, however the exposure and saturation is quite different between the two modules, with the wide angle being a lot more washed out.

The most troublesome finding I had when video recording was the fact that the Honor 20 Pro wouldn’t properly change focus when panning between near and far objects, requiring me to manually tap to focus, which is a quite a large deal-breaker and hopefully something that’s will be fixed in the future.

Battery life on the Honor 20 Pro is great and in line with the Kirin 980 chipset and the 4000mAh battery. The LCD screen is efficient and the H20Pro almost equal to the View20 from earlier in the year.
