The Honor V20 has a small hole on the top left corner of the display which has a diameter of 4.5mm. This also helps in increasing the screen-to-body ratio.

The phone also comes with a new Link Turbo technology. It automatically analyzes users’ usage models and network conditions and then switch seamlessly between Wi-Fi or 4G networks to boost downloading speed by adopting both the networks.
