Huawei sub-brand Honor first announced the Honor V20 aka Honor View 20 at an event in Hong Kong last week, touting it as the company's first smartphone to sport a hole for the selfie camera. This seemed like a move to beat Samsung from being the first manufacturer to do so. At the event, Honor had revealed it would sport a 48-megapixel Sony IMX586 sensor, HiSilicon Kirin 980 SoC, and Link Turbo technology. In the meanwhile, it has also made an appearance on benchmarking website AnTuTu giving us a glimpse of what it is capable of. Now, the latest teasers reveal the smartphone will sport a 4,000mAh battery and a 25-megapixel selfie shooter in the display hole.
