Honor View 20: Setting the 48 megapixel camera correctly (sponsored)
The Honor View 20 is the first smartphone with a 48-megapixel camera and the high-end camera sensor IMX586 from Sony. Thanks to intelligent AI and numerous options, the camera can also be adjusted extensively. We reveal how this works properly and with which technology the Honor View 20 ensures particularly impressive images.
Honor View 20: The first 48 megapixel camera on the smartphone market
Unlike Huawei, Samsung and Co., Honor does not install a whole range of optics in the View 20, but concentrates on two sensors: a main sensor with a proud 48 megapixels and wide f / 1.8 aperture as well as an additional depth and 3D sensor. There is a 25 megapixel front camera for selfies.
- The main camera takes photos with a resolution of up to 5, 120 x 3, 840 pixels. Thanks to the large aperture, a lot of light can be captured even in dim surroundings, which benefits the photo quality. Videos can be recorded in 1, 080p with up to 960 fps, which enables impressive slow motion effects.
- Other highlights of the rear camera are the hardware-based HDR for particularly strong colors and the successful 3D sensor, with which objects can be scanned in 3D. In terms of software, intelligent AI supports photography and optimizes your own images depending on the environment and the object being photographed.
- Honor has also come up with something for the front camera. This is not attached above the display or in a notch, but is embedded directly in the 6.4-inch display. So no unnecessary space is lost on the front. The selfie camera has a resolution of 25 megapixels and takes photos with a resolution of up to 4, 608 x 3, 456 pixels. Videos are possible in Full HD at 30 fps.
Numerous features: How to set the camera of the Honor View 20 correctly
The Honor View 20 camera app offers many functions that you can use to enhance your pictures even more.
- Activate AI mode: Start the camera app and tap on the AI symbol at the top until it becomes colored. Then the intelligent AI mode is activated, which automatically enhances your photos.
- Adjust resolution: Tap the gear icon in the camera app to open the settings. Then select one of the entries with "48 MP" under "Resolution" in order to fully exploit the possibilities of the 48-megapixel camera.
- Change photo mode: Swipe down in the camera app to switch between normal photo mode and special modes for portraits and night shots. Under "More" you will also find numerous other modes, such as for light painting, HDR images and panoramic images.
Overview of other equipment of the Honor View 20
The Honor View 20 also has a lot to offer away from the camera. We have summarized the most important technical data for you here.
- Performance: At the heart of the Honor View 20 is the Octa-Core Kirin 980 with dual NPU. The power CPU is supported by 6 or 8 GB of RAM - ideal for gaming and for running several apps in parallel.
- Display: The 6.4-inch LTPS display has a high 2, 310 x 1, 080 pixels and takes up almost the entire front of the Honor View 20. The aspect ratio of 19.5: 9 is interesting, which is unusual even for a widescreen display. As a result, the smartphone offers plenty of space on the home screen.
- Battery: A 4, 000 mAh battery enables the View 20 to have a relatively long battery life. Thanks to SuperCharge, the battery can be charged to 50 percent in 30 minutes.
- Other hardware: Honor installs the fingerprint sensor on the back of the smartphone under the camera. Other highlights include the three card slots (two for SIM cards and one for a microSD card), NFC support and up to 256 GB of internal memory.
- Operating system: Honor ships the View 20 with Android 9.0 Pie and EMUI 9.
