It has been a while since the Honor 20 and Honor 20 Pro were released. Now new rumors reveal that Honor will release a new phone under Honor 20 smartphone lines and it may be named as Honor 20 SE in China, or Honor 20S outside China. So far, most of the specs and details about the Honor 20S have been leaked. In this article, we are going to show you everything we know about the upcoming Honor 20S smartphones including its specs, price and release date.

Honor 20S (Honor 20 SE) specs

● 6-inch water drop screen

● Kirin 810 processor

● 4000mAh battery

● Support 20W fast charging

● Deep customized Magic UI 3.0 system based on Android 10

● Memory combination: 8+128GB, 8+256GB

● Quad rear cameras

Combined the leaked information about the Honor 20S in Google Play Console list and some other rumors, the Honor 20S smartphone will adopt a 6-inch screen with a water drop notch, which is different to the punch-hole screen design on the Honor 20 and Honor 20 Pro.

In terms of the processor, the Honor 20S will use 7nm Kirin 810 processor with a Mali-G52 GPU. And it will be powered by a 4000mAh large battery which supports 20W fast charging. The Google Play Console list also reveals that the Honor 20S will run on Android 10 operating system and be paired with 8GB RAM and 128GB/256GB of internal storage. In addition, there will be a fingerprint sensor, but it doesn’t show where it is placed on, as we know the previous Honor 20 and Honor 20 Pro adopt an integrated side-placement power button with a fingerprint sensor. However, it is predicted the that the Honor 20S may come with an in-display fingerprint sensor.

Camera-wise, the Honor 20S is very likely to adopt 48MP quad rear cameras, as it has been a mainstream camera spec even among mid-range smartphones.

Honor 20S (Honor 20 SE) price: similar to Honor 9X

The Honor 20 series smartphones start from 2699 yuan in China (about $377).

Yesterday, the Honor’s vice president has implied on his microblog that the new Honor 20S will adopt a 7nm processor.
