00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:08.400
honor reached out to us to do a sponsored showcase of their new flagship

00:00:04.000 --> 00:00:11.599
for 2019 the honor vue 20. and this

00:00:08.400 --> 00:00:14.880
is a really flashy phone both on the

00:00:11.599 --> 00:00:18.440
outside and on the inside and with heat

00:00:14.880 --> 00:00:26.560
pipe cooling let's get into it

00:00:26.560 --> 00:00:32.880
first things first the screen and wow

00:00:30.480 --> 00:00:38.640
that's a dynamic wallpaper if i ever saw one anyway this is actually the first

00:00:36.160 --> 00:00:42.559
all-screen display with a hole punch style selfie camera that we've had here

00:00:41.200 --> 00:00:49.920
in our studio and you know what i've got to say between the intrusiveness of a giant

00:00:46.640 --> 00:00:50.640
notch and the more gimmicky solutions

00:00:49.920 --> 00:00:55.120
like sliding phones that have a lot of question marks still about their

00:00:53.680 --> 00:01:00.559
reliability this ended up looking like a far more

00:00:58.239 --> 00:01:04.640
reasonable compromise than i initially thought you've still got just about the

00:01:02.800 --> 00:01:10.000
entire status bar to fill up with notifications and meanwhile it has a

00:01:07.119 --> 00:01:14.720
self-reported 91.8 screen to body ratio another cool thing

00:01:12.400 --> 00:01:18.960
is that honor is still treating it like a notch so they're still giving you the

00:01:16.799 --> 00:01:23.119
ability to hide it and putting in virtual bezels when you're watching full

00:01:20.720 --> 00:01:27.200
screen content in landscape mode so

00:01:24.320 --> 00:01:31.680
bottom line until we start to get camera under screen tech over the next

00:01:29.520 --> 00:01:35.360
hopefully year or two this hole punch style is only going to grow in

00:01:33.040 --> 00:01:39.680
popularity and the way honor has done it on the view 20 is pretty cool because

00:01:37.680 --> 00:01:44.720
unlike punching a hole through all of the layers of the display except for the

00:01:42.079 --> 00:01:50.159
glass like samsung does on their a8 honor says that this front camera only

00:01:47.520 --> 00:01:53.920
partially penetrates the screen which is apparently an advantage since not only

00:01:52.320 --> 00:01:57.840
does it make it a bit less of a weak point where your screen is susceptible

00:01:55.759 --> 00:02:03.680
to breaking but each layer that the camera intersects with has the potential

00:02:00.240 --> 00:02:05.840
to leak light onto the camera sensor not

00:02:03.680 --> 00:02:09.679
a bright idea now the camera itself is pretty small

00:02:07.840 --> 00:02:14.959
and unobtrusive it's four and a half millimeters or a little under 3 16 of an

00:02:12.400 --> 00:02:18.239
inch for our friends in the us and a and they were able to get it this small

00:02:16.560 --> 00:02:23.040
using a technique where the liquid crystals in the lcd's neighboring pixels

00:02:20.959 --> 00:02:27.680
will allow light to pass through to the 25 megapixel front camera

00:02:25.280 --> 00:02:33.160
now some of you may have noticed that the vue 20 already comes with a screen

00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:37.120
protector applied to its 6.4 inch

00:02:33.160 --> 00:02:39.519
19.25 by 9 screen but it also comes

00:02:37.120 --> 00:02:45.920
packaged with a basic plastic case which is clear so you can show off this

00:02:42.879 --> 00:02:48.720
crazy glass back now honor has done

00:02:45.920 --> 00:02:54.239
flashy iridescent backings in the past but this is the first time that they've

00:02:51.120 --> 00:02:56.720
used nano optical lithography to give it

00:02:54.239 --> 00:03:01.200
this really funky chevron pattern i think it looks freaking awesome

00:02:59.440 --> 00:03:05.440
taking it off though the sides of the phone are metal giving it a nice premium

00:03:03.599 --> 00:03:10.879
feeling and then around the rest of it you'll find a usb type c a single down

00:03:08.720 --> 00:03:14.640
firing speaker so no stereo sound unfortunately but at least it's

00:03:13.040 --> 00:03:19.440
positioned so that it won't get covered by your hand in landscape mode it's got

00:03:16.800 --> 00:03:23.840
dual nano sims with dual standby support and finally a headphone jack

00:03:22.640 --> 00:03:29.920
nice wrapping up our tour of the outside of the phone we've got the rear cameras so

00:03:27.360 --> 00:03:37.200
the vue 20 is one of the first devices to use sony's imx 586 sensor which

00:03:33.200 --> 00:03:40.959
combines a big half inch cmos with tiny

00:03:37.200 --> 00:03:43.120
0.8 micrometer pixels to deliver a 48

00:03:40.959 --> 00:03:49.120
megapixel camera that's got a ton of zany features from 960fps slow motion

00:03:46.159 --> 00:03:53.280
video to ai clarity mode which takes a bunch of pictures at once then uses all

00:03:51.440 --> 00:03:57.360
of the information to make a brighter more detailed composite to the ability

00:03:55.440 --> 00:04:03.680
to slim a person NVIDIA

00:04:00.560 --> 00:04:06.560
in real time so you can enhance your

00:04:03.680 --> 00:04:09.519
body to get the perfect look anytime anywhere

00:04:08.000 --> 00:04:14.760
james can we try this here's shaping level five

00:04:18.079 --> 00:04:26.240
now all of these ai focus features are of course enabled by the vue 20's chiron

00:04:22.960 --> 00:04:28.639
980 processor which has two npus or

00:04:26.240 --> 00:04:34.800
neural processing units as well as an 8-core CPU and making its first

00:04:31.120 --> 00:04:37.759
commercial appearance the mali g76 GPU

00:04:34.800 --> 00:04:43.840
it also comes with 6 or 8 gigs of 21 33 megahertz RAM and 128 or 256 gigs of

00:04:41.360 --> 00:04:47.199
storage with each tier corresponding to different color options

00:04:45.600 --> 00:04:51.360
the coolest thing about this device though is what honor calls the 9 which

00:04:49.680 --> 00:04:55.199
is a cooling solution that was first showcased at the honor note 10

00:04:53.280 --> 00:05:00.720
conference in china back in december 2018 it's a nine layer thermal design

00:04:58.479 --> 00:05:04.960
including things like a copper alloy shield an f-shaped copper heat pipe and

00:05:03.199 --> 00:05:10.639
a graphene heatsink and it's not the only gamer focused

00:05:07.120 --> 00:05:13.280
feature in the view 20. it also sports

00:05:10.639 --> 00:05:17.440
three wi-fi antennas since the usual two antennas on a handset can be susceptible

00:05:15.600 --> 00:05:20.320
to being blocked by your hands when you're gaming in landscape mode like if

00:05:19.199 --> 00:05:25.600
you think about it your hands are basically made of water rf does not like

00:05:23.360 --> 00:05:29.440
water so the extra antenna is on the back of the phone over by the volume

00:05:27.520 --> 00:05:32.960
button here where you're less likely to cover it and the phone will

00:05:30.800 --> 00:05:36.720
automatically switch between antennas according to which one has the strongest

00:05:34.720 --> 00:05:40.639
signal the aim here was to deliver a more consistent gaming experience and

00:05:39.280 --> 00:05:45.680
you should have lots of time to gain that xp with the vue 20's 4 000 milliamp

00:05:43.759 --> 00:05:49.520
hour battery it's pretty generous actually like we've seen batteries this

00:05:47.280 --> 00:05:54.000
size on gaming phones but a lot of the time they end up being quite thick and

00:05:51.759 --> 00:05:57.680
the mainstream stuff like even the plus size tends to be around the 3 500

00:05:55.759 --> 00:06:01.520
milliamp hour range so that's pretty nice to see

00:05:59.039 --> 00:06:05.360
finally honors purple usb cable means that this phone supports super charging

00:06:03.520 --> 00:06:09.759
so the phone is rated for a full charge in 90 minutes or 55

00:06:07.919 --> 00:06:13.120
in 30 minutes so thanks to honor for sponsoring this

00:06:11.440 --> 00:06:16.800
