Honor View 20: Price speculation

Honor View 20 is on its way to India. Buzz is that it is going to be launched somewhere in the last part of January. This is a stunning device with many world’s first technology.

It has the world’s first 48MP AI camera with TOF 3D camera. The top-left corner of the display features an in-screen 25MP AI front camera.

The Kirin 980 processor of this phone is made from a 7nm manufacturing process which is also a world first tech.

The dual NPU that Honor View 20 flaunts is also a never-seen-before feature in any smartphone.

So now with all these top notch features, you must be wondering about the price of this device. Well, I am also speculating about it. See, Honor’s parent company Huawei just launched Mate 20 Pro a few weeks ago and it comes for around 70,000 INR. Honor on the other hand, comes with cost-effective phones so I am guessing that Honor View 20 will come at around 40,000 INR.

I may be wrong, just speculating. So don’t kill me!
