The Award 20 has a far more than modern design than the Honour ten – though information technology's worth noting that at launch just a yr ago, the Honor x's design was considered very electric current.

The new phone has an almost all-screen forepart, with just a small bezel beneath the display and a punch-hole camera in the pinnacle left corner, while the Laurels x has a slightly larger lesser bezel, as it'southward used to house a fingerprint scanner (whereas the Honor 20 puts its scanner on the side).

From the back there's less divergence equally both phones sport striking, cogitating glass rears, but while the Honor 10 has a horizontally bundled dual-lens camera, the Accolade 20 has a vertically stacked quad-lens setup.

The Honor 20's camera looks set to be one of the biggest improvements on its predecessor, as you go a quad-lens rear snapper rather than a dual-lens i.

The Honor 20 has a 48MP f/ane.8 chief lens, a 16MP f/two.2 wide-angle lens, a 2MP f/2.four depth sensor, and a 2MP f/2.4 macro lens. The Honor 10 on the other mitt has just a 16MP f/i.8 color lens and a 24MP f/1.8 black-and-white one.

On top of fewer lenses, the focus is dissimilar. The Honor 10 tends to combine images taken with its ii sensors for a single more detailed photo, while the Laurels 20 has unlike lenses for different types of shots.

That should make the Award 20 more versatile, simply we'll let you know how the photographic camera performs in our total Honor 20 review.

On the forepart, the Honor 20 has a 32MP f/2.0 camera, while the Honor ten has a 24MP f/two.0 ane, so again that sounds similar an upgrade for the Honor 20, merely megapixels aren't everything.

As for battery, the Award 20 has a 3,750mAh ane which the company claims offers all-solar day life. The Honor 10 has a slightly smaller 3,400mAh i, but in our own tests we found this lasted around a day, so there might not be a big difference in life.

Honor 20 vs Honor 10 power

Unsurprisingly you go more than power from the Honour xx. It has an octa-core Kirin 980 chipset (the same as you'll discover in the Huawei P30 range) and 6GB of RAM, then this should exist able to compete with flagships in terms of operation.

The Award 10 meanwhile has an octa-core Kirin 970 chipset (which was high-end in 2018) and either 4GB or 6GB of RAM. The Honor ten likewise comes with either 64GB or 128GB of storage, while the Honor twenty just comes in a 128GB size.

Honor 20 vs Honor 10 price

The Award 20 costs £399.99 (roughly $510/AU$740), which is exactly what the Accolade 10 cost at launch. Of class, you tin get the Honor 10 for far less than that now, with UK stores stocking it from around £280.

And so you lot're paying effectually £120 (roughly $155/AU$220) more for the Honor 20's improvements. Note also that the Honor 20 definitely won't be coming to the US.

Takeaway

In that location are a number of changes and upgrades on the Laurels xx. Information technology has a more modernistic, all-screen design with a punch-hole camera rather than a notch, a larger display, more power and two actress camera lenses, as well as a slightly bigger battery.

However, the two phones take similarly sharp screens and – camera aside – most aspects of the Honor 20 but look to exist modest upgrades, so the difference betwixt the two might non exist enormous.

Nosotros'll let you know exactly how skilful the Honor 20 is in our full review, but on paper it looks to exist a solid if conservative upgrade from the Accolade x.
