Honor, which spun off from Huawei due to US sanctions, is preparing to launch a new mid-range device with 5G cellular connectivity – a model with the designation X20 SE.
Honor will equip the X20 SE 5G smartphone with the Dimensity 700 SoC
We know that the smartphone will be based on the MediaTek Dimensity 700 processor. This chip contains eight computing cores with a clock frequency of up to 2.2 GHz, a graphics ARM Mali-G57 MC2 accelerator and a 5G modem. We do not know the amount of RAM and the capacity of the flash drive yet.
The device will receive a 6.6-inch display with a small hole for a single front camera. A panel with a refresh rate of 90 Hz will be available. Power will be provided by a rechargeable battery with support for fast 22.5-watt charging.
We know that a three-piece design is provided for the rear camera. So far, we know only the resolution of the main unit: 64 megapixels. Apparently, it will arrive with a module with wide-angle optics, as well as a sensor for macro photography or obtaining information about the depth of the scene.
The official presentation of Honor X20 SE will take place in the second half of this year. There is no information about the estimated price yet.
