Verdict
The Honor 20 Pro does sound like a great proposition for what it’s offering at its price, which includes a quad-camera setup. The array of lenses include a telephoto lens, ultrawide lens, and a macro lens The OnePlus 7 Pro is priced higher but it does have a better display than the others. The Reno offers 10X hybrid zoom and the Asus 6Z has a flip-camera which in theory will let you to take some of the most high-quality selfies. Each phone has its own quirks and advantages, but one thing that will affect the Honor 20 Pro is the lack of Android updates after the **90-day window** provided by the US shuts down. We will know for sure in the coming days and also when we review the device in detail so stay tuned for that.
