Huawei's sub-brand Honor launched its Honor View 20 smartphone in China last month and its global variant will be launched today. The USP of the smartphone is its no notch design and it comes with a punch-hole camera instead. The camera of the Honor View 20 is placed in the top-left corner of the phone and the earpiece is housed in the top display bezel. Another unique selling point of the Honor View 20 is its 48 MP rear camera that comes with Sony IM586 sensor and a secondary time of flight (ToF) 3D depth sensor that could be promoted as a third rear camera.
