Karamchand Rameshwar - Nov 15, 2019

Unlike the Honor 20S launched in China, this new model comes with quite a few differences such as water-drop notched display & Kirin 710 SoC.

Honor 20S just silently made its debut in Russia. Even though it has the same name as the one launched in China, the two models have massive differences between each other. The Russian model is powered by a Kirin 710 chipset, instead of the more powerful Kirin 810 on the Chinese one. In addition, this new variant doesn’t come with a hole-punch display, but it features the common water-drop notch on top of the display for the selfie camera. Instead of being mounted on the side, the fingerprint reader is moved to the back of the phone. In terms of camera, it still rocks a triple camera cluster on the rear with a 48MP main sensor.
