  • OnePlus 6T Vs Honor View20 : Specs Comparison

    OnePlus 6T Vs Honor View20 : Specs Comparison

    OnePlus launched the OnePlus 6T smartphone late last year which has turned out to be one of the best smartphones in its segment. The freshly launched Honor View20 is similarly priced to the former and will definitely give the OnePlus 6T a good run for its money. Here is a detailed spec comparison of the reigning champ and the new guy in town.

    Display

    Both the OnePlus 6T and Honor View20 have excellent displays with Full HD resolution. However, the former shines in this area as it uses an AMOLED display panel. The LCD display on the Honor View20 is undoubtedly good but it cannot match the illumination prowess of an AMOLED panel. Also, the OnePlus 6T has Corning Gorilla Glass 6 to protect it against hard surfaces and sharp objects. 

    Processor & Fingerprint sensor

    The OnePlus 6T features the Snapdragon 845 Soc while the Honor View20 packs the Kirin 980 SoC. Notably, the Kirin 980 is manufactured using 7 nm manufacturing process which translates in less power consumption and longer battery life. Some of our initial testings also revealed that the Honor View20 was able to load the infamous Pubg mobile slightly faster than its contender. The OnePlus 6T has the futuristic under-display fingerprint sensor while the Honor View20 has a conventional rear-mounted fingerprint sensor. All in all, the fingerprint sensor on both smartphones is very responsive and snappy. 

    User Interface & OS

    Both the OnePlus 6T and Honor View20 run on the latest Android 9.0 Pie and are skinned with custom UI’s of their respective companies. The former runs on OnePlus’s OxygenOS while the latter runs on Magic UI 2. As the two devices run on the latest Android OS, it is more of a consumer’s choice what Android skin suits their needs. Worth mentioning OnePlus is renowned for providing fast Android updates and similar is expected for the upcoming Android Q. While less information is available is about the update timeline for the Honor View20.

    Camera

    The OnePlus 6T has an f/2.0 aperture equipped 16 MP selfie snapper and the Honor View20 boasts an f/2.0 aperture equipped 25 MP front camera. At least on paper, the front camera of the latter outdoes the OnePlus 6T. Both smartphones have a dual rear camera setup but are comprised of completely different sensors. The Honor View20 has an f/1.8 aperture equipped 48 MP Sony IMX 586 sensor and a 3D TOF (Time Of Flight) camera. The OnePlus 6T, on the other hand, features an f/1.7 aperture equipped 16 MP sensor and a 20 MP wide lens sensor. 

    Battery and Storage

    The OnePlus 6T has a 3,700 mAh battery while its competitor, the Honor View20 is powered by a 4,000 mAh battery. Not only does the View20 pack a larger capacity battery, the 7 nm Kirin 980 further contributes in a longer battery backup. In terms of charging speed, both the smartphones support this feature and can be charged with 20 w of maximum power. 

    Verdict

    Also Read: Samsung Galaxy M10 Unboxing And Hands-On

    Both the OnePlus 6T and Honor View20 have an exceptional build quality and are loaded with remarkable features. The Honor View20 exceeds the OnePlus 6T with its fascinating look, faster SoC, larger battery and better camera resolution. However, the OnePlus 6T strikes back with the outstanding AMOLED display panel, Gorilla Glass 6, butter smooth OxygenOS, and the futuristic under display fingerprint sensor.

  • Honor Rolls Out Its Wearable Portfolio In India

    Honor Rolls Out Its Wearable Portfolio In India

    In a launch event earlier today, Honor rolled out a collection of three wearable devices under the Honor Wearable Portfolio in India. Some exciting devices to look at, Honor is aiming to target a far more wide audience with the latest wearables, which include the Honor Watch, the Honor Band 4 and the Honor Band 4 Running. Read on to find out the specs and the features that these devices bring to the Indian tech market. 

    HONOR Band 4, Honor Band 4 Running Edition

    When the Honor Band 3 was first released in India, it impressed a lot of people. A sleek look combined with the aggressive pricing was one of the major factors that accounted for the success of the Honor Band 3. 

    This time around, Honor Band 4 is here to stay. With hints of design from the predecessor, and a lot of fresh features, the Honor Band 4 looks like an attractive wearable, which is equally functional too. With a full color AMOLED display and Real-time Heartbeat Monitoring, it’s an amazing piece of tech to get a lower price than the competition. 

    The Honor Band 4 features a full colour touchscreen display, crafted from 2.5D glass. This ensures a high resistance to scratches, so that the Band may be used during your day-to-day activities. Huawei’s TruSleep technology allows you to track your sleep in a whole new detailed manner. It even provides you advice regarding common sleeping problems. Also, TruSeen helps you to track your heart-beat in Real-time, ensuring that you get high heartbeat alerts immediately. 

    Every wearable device is expected to be water resistant these days. Why?  Because nobody wants to take their band/watch off every time they shower or go swimming. Fortunately, the Honor Band 4 is water resistant up to 50 meters. It can even recognize your swimstrokes and calculate the number of your turns and calories. Who said that fitness bands have to be limited to running? 

    The Honor Band 4 Running Edtion is specifically made for running though. Also, a key difference between both the bands is the availability of 5 dual-colour finishes in the Running Edition instead of the conventional 3 colours in the Honor Band 4. The Running Edition has almost half the display size of the Honor Band 4, but the catch is not that.

    The Band 4 Running Edition has an inbuilt 6-axis sensor, which can monitor your running posture . How does it do that? Simple. You fix the device on your shoe. It even measures your landing pattern, angles and step lengths that professionals go for. This is something that hasn’t been focused on before, but here you go!  

    You can always use your Honor Band to locate your phone if you have misplaced it. It’s a workout trainer, notifier and even a remote control if you want to take those amazing selfies with your Huawei device. As far as the battery is concerned, the Honor band 4 can last up to 17 days under normal use, and that too on a single charge.  That’s a whole lot of battery life, we have to say. 

    The Honor Band 4 will be priced at Rs. 2,599. The Running Edition of the same will be priced at Rs. 1,599, which is comparatively lower.

    HONOR Watch 

    While the Honor Band 4 focuses more on fitness, the Honor Watch Magic aims towards embedding itself in your daily activities, in addition to being the watch that it is. It’s 9.8 mm thick, and is crafted using 316L stainless steel, making it extra lightweight and comfortable for day-to-day use. Laser Engraving gives a really catchy look to the whole design. The watch is available in two colours, and is available with a two-sided strap. 

    The Honor Watch sports a 1.2 inch AMOLED touchscreen, with a resolution of 390 x 390 px. At 326 ppi, the Watch aims to offer a colour-rich usage experience. As per Huawei’s claims, the Watch runs on a dual-chipset, which intricately balances power consumption and the performance of the smartwatch. It even strives to provide a 7-day battery life.

    Just like the Honor Band 4, the Honor Watch is equipped with HUAWEI TruSeen™ 3.0, which brings real-time heart rate monitoring to this wearable too. It has the same features which the Huawei Honor Band 4 boasts of, but more. The Sports version of the Honor Watch will be priced at Rs. 13,999, whereas the Premium version of the same will be priced at Rs. 14,999.

Most noticeably, the Fuchsia OS, unlike Android and Chrome OS, does not use Linux Kernel. In fact, it uses the Zircon kernel that is derived from “Little Kernel”. Little Kernel is an operating system that was intended for embedded systems. Recently an update in the GitHub project repository reveals that a Huawei engineer was successfully able to boot Fuchsia OS on the Honor Play which features the Kirin 970 SoC.

    Honor & Fuchsia OS

     

    The latest patch adds support for the HiSilicon Kirin 970 SoC to the Zircon kernel. The device chosen to run the Fuchsia OS was the Honor Play. Apart from the Honor Play, the Kirin 970 S0C is also present on the Huawei P20 lineup, Huawei Mate 10 lineup, Honor 10, and Honor View 10. However, the latest development is of less importance to the end user for now. But this proves that Huawei is actively participating in the latest developments in the tech world. As they are also the first company to launch an Android smartphone with a 7 nm processor. Their Kirin 980 is a 7 nm processor which is present on the remarkable Huawei Mate 20 Pro.
