Huawei Launches New 'Honor View 20' Smartphone With 'Hole-Punch' Camera Cutout

I don't get the point of a hole, bar, anything if there are ANY black bars anywhere on the front of the screen. Just put the camera in the black space.

This is being offered at launch in the UK with a free smartwatch. More than enough phone for most people with a free half decent watch for 25% less than an iPhone XR? They will sell plenty of these. Huawei/Honor is hugely popular here.

First it was Apple’s design and iOS that’s what kept people buying Apple. Flagship phones were about equal priced, Apple was never the cheapest.
Today most flagship phones offer more than the iPhone XS while being cheaper than Apple’s iPhone XR. There isn’t that much of a difference between iOS or Android anymore. So now the excuse is that economic situation are the reason.

I’m out of excuses. The real issue is that iPhones are not competitive priced anymore. Maybe the situation is different in the USA but here in Europe, Asia it’s taking its toll on sales.

Tim Cook is like an ostrich not willing to look at reality. Profits first.

The difference is in the style. A Ferrari and civic both accomplish the same end, move passengers. Android and iOS both let one check Facebook and email, albeit with a different style.

I like/we like what apple has to offer and me and my family plan on sticking with apple. YMMV.

To each their own indeed :D

I find it funny that whenever people from the USA come up with examples of cars, they almost never mentions cars built in the USA. Ferrari (Italian) and Honda (Japanese). Just an observation... no pun intended :cool:
 
I’d rather have no camera and a fingerprint sensor under the screen. Just sayin...
 
Still don't understand the craze with bezel less design. Its a made up problem for me. The Samsung Galaxy S9 design is so far my favorite for the front screen. I would be more than happy with that kind of a design in an iPhone.
 
AHH -- this should have been Iphone X (10 years anniversary)...too bad competition are passing you Apple.

any chance you own an iPhone with a notch? just wondering. Frankly I think the hole punch would annoy me more, but the notch doesn't bother me. Its like a divider between useful info to the right and left. a hole is just a hole.

Got me. Lol. I will say I buy phones based on overall design not one detail. I look forward to see what the future brings.

It's the current best design and Samsung should just stay with it until they can figure out something else. No notches or punch outs. I'm going to have to skip two or three phone generations of many brands because of all this notchhole nonsense.

Okay. Fors focus vs ‘Vette.

Switching gears, pun intended, due to in screen fingerprint reader, no screen protector for this bad boy.

Uff, no thanks. I think one of the great "features" of a phone is that the person you're having a conversation with does NOT see you.

Why on Earth are you using a smartphone? No video on a phone is was not meant as a feature it was a technological limitation!

Do I have a choice? I want my company Exchange mail, my friends refuse to communicate via anything but Messenger and I like the ability to do some quick searches on the internet. I also like the back camera to snap pictures on the go.
Video chats though, no thanks, I see absolutely no use.
