Another day, another smartphone collaboration with a luxury brand; instead of Honor teaming up with an automobile manufacturer as its brother-company Huawei did with Porsche and OnePlus did with McLaren, the Chinese device-maker chose to collaborate with Moschino, the iconic Italian fashion brand. The latest Honor flagship device, the View20, is following the hole-punch trend that is fast replacing the conventional rectangular notch that's typically placed in the top center of the screen. Honor opted for a circular notch design pushed off to the top left corner much like Huawei's Nova 4, and what we're expecting for the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S10 range.
#HONORView20 invites you to join in the excitement and #SeeTheUnseen together as it launches in China yesterday and globally on 22 Jan in Paris . ????The excitement has just begun. https://t.co/rP7l0AQ9Tu pic.twitter.com/OoJjG4Txlq— Honor Smartphone (@Honorglobal) December 27, 2018
The camera within that circular in-display cutout is 25 MP and an accompanying 48 MP rear camera is powered by Sony's IMX586 image sensor. The second back camera is a TOF 3D camera which can allegedly track your movements and turn the View20 into a motion-controlled gaming console reminiscent of the Xbox Kinect.
To commemorate the launch of this flagship model, Honor collaborated with Moschino to develop "an exclusive Moschino-inspired range, the ideal fashion-statement for the ultimate phone fashionista," aimed at young users across the globe. The phone will go on sale in China on December 28 starting at RMB 2,999 (about $440), and the global launch will take place on January 22 in Paris.
