Honor 8S 2020

Honor is back in a big way this year because we’re through half the year already and we’ve seen a large amount of smartphones be released by the Huawei sub brand. We even saw the launch of a couple of 5G compatible devices. Honor and Huawei had a rough year in 2019 with the sanctions from the US which prevented the Chinese multibillion dollar company from getting access to Google services. This meant that the phones from Honor and Huawei were unable to access the Play Store, and therefore, unable to give users access to Google apps such as Gmail, Google Calendar, and Google Maps. But Huawei is working on offering custom built apps via its App Gallery and hopefully the company’s loyalists will be able to access all their favorite apps soon enough. But let’s get back to the topic at hand and that is the launch of Honor’s latest budget range smartphone — the Honor 8S 2020. As the name suggests, it is the 2020 variant of the phone that first launched in April last year. The new smartphone features a 5.71-inch IPS LCD display with a resolution of 720 x 1520 pixels and features a water drop notch. Under the hood is a  quad core Helio A22 chipset. The device comes with 3GB RAM and 64GB of storage space and runs EMUI 9 with support for Google services. On the back, you have a single 13MP camera and for selfies, the phone sports a 5MP selfie snapper. The battery capacity of the phone is a tad low at 3020mAh. Some of the popular Honor mobile phones include the Honor X10 Pro, the Honor 9X, and the Honor P30 Pro Plus.

Honor 8S 2020 Details

5.71 inch HD+ LCD Display, Water Drop Notch
The Honor 8S 2020 features a 5.71 inch IPS LCD display that offers a resolution of 720 x 1520 pixels at a density of 295 ppi. The display, which has a water drop notch, has an aspect ratio of 19:9.
Helio A22 Chipset, EMUI and Google Services
The Honor 8S 2020 is not going to deliver flagship-grade performance any time soon, because it comes with the modest Helio A22 chipset from MediaTek underneath the hood. The chipset is commonly seen in phones at this price point. The A22 SoC has a PowerVR GE8320 GPU that handles graphics processing as best as it can. The device packs 3GB of RAM and 64GB of onboard storage. On the back of the Honor 8S 2020, you have a 13MP camera that can also record 1080p videos. On the front, you have a 5MP sensor that can take selfies but won’t let you record any videos. The phone runs on EMUI 9, the Huawei custom Android ROM, and it currently offers Android 9 along with Google mobile services. 
3020mAh Battery, Connectivity Options
Battery life from the Honor 8S 2020 might be a bit dodgy as the phone comes with a cell that has a meagre capacity of 3020mAh. Connectivity options include dual-band WiFi, Bluetooth 5.0, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, and A-GPS. The phone has an outdated micro USB port for charging but thankfully it has a 3.5mm jack for earphones. There is no fingerprint sensor on this phone so you will have to use on-screen security to access it..
