Honor 20i design
honor 20i Comes with polycarbonate rear panel. Here gradient design has been used. Honor It is claimed that 3D photolithography process has been used to get such finish in the phone. We have reviewed the Phantom Blue variant of the phone. It comes with a royal blue shade at the top and a bright purple shade is seen going down.
Honor 20i also has Phantom Red and Midnight Black variants. The Midnight Black variant does not have a dual tone finish. The rim used to connect the rear and front panels is made of plastic and comes with a glossy finish.
Due to the curved edges, the grip is good. But the phone slips in the hands. Fingerprints easily fall on the glossy surface of the rear panel. It does not remain untouched even by scratch marks. We found that the middle part of the rear panel was flexing.
The power and volume buttons are on the right side. These are easy to access. The hybrid dual-SIM tray is on the top. Here you will be able to use two nano SIM cards or one SIM and microSD card simultaneously. The 3.5mm headphone jack and micro-USB port have been placed at the bottom.
The triple rear camera setup present in vertical position comes with a bulge. But it is not too much. The fingerprint sensor is slightly inside. Our finger reached it easily. We have no complaints with the speed of fingerprint recognition. It is also accurate.
There is no problem in using this phone with one hand. The edges make the phone appear thin, which it is not. Barring the problem of flex on the rear panel, the Honor 20i feels very solid. Talking about design, it will be liked by those users who want gradient design and punchy colors.

Oversaturated colors come from the panel of Honor 20i. In comparison, the level of detail in the display of Honor 20 is also better.
We found that the display temperature of Honor 20i is a bit warm by default. But you can go to display settings and select it in ‘Vivid’ color mode. Apart from this, there is also an option to control the display temperature.
The Smart Resolution feature automatically tones down full-HD+ resolution to HD+ to reduce battery consumption. The Honor 20i also has a Reading Mode to enhance the reading experience. This gives a yellow tint to the display.

Talking about gaming, PUBG Mobile runs on medium graphics settings in Honor 20i. Asphalt 9: Legends also ran without any frame rate drops. However, we occasionally encountered input lag in games with powerful graphics.
The vibration feedback of the phone is very aggressive. There is no way to reduce it.
Honor 20i camera and battery life
Honor 20i is one of the few smartphones available under Rs 15,000 that comes with three rear cameras. Great macro shots can be taken from the phone. The phone took many beautiful close-up shots.

In daylight the phone takes slightly more saturated photos. These pictures look good on the phone. But the lack of detail and sharpness is clearly visible on the big screen. Enabling AI mode helps in dynamic range and also boosts colors.
The dynamic range of the phone lags in high light. It often captured soft and washed out colors. The camera captured photos with decent sharpness and depth of field when the ambient light was good.
Portrait mode in the camera app did a good job of highlighting focused objects. Edge detection was also good. But the background blur was often uneven. The good thing is that we did not face the problem of focus lock.
The 32-megapixel front camera captures bright selfies. There is no lack of detail in these. However, when using the indoor camera, the Honor 20i does a good job of whitening and it dulls the background elements a bit. Edge detection was not correct in portrait selfies.
You will get features like Portrait Lightning Effects, AR Lenses, Live Filters and Background Filters. The wide-angle sensor works well for capturing wide frames.
The phone has night mode for low-light photography. But it does not give very impressive results. Honor 20i’s Night Mode enhances colors in low-light conditions. Enhances the edges of objects.

Talking about battery life, the 3,400 mAh battery of Honor 20i somehow supported the whole day. During this time, we used the phone for social media, web browsing, listening to songs on wireless headphones for about two hours, occasional phone calls and 45 minutes of gaming. Many times, the battery of the phone could not last even for a whole day due to excessive playing of games.
In our video loop test, the Honor 20i lasted 15 hours and 11 minutes. The charger given in the retail box takes about 2 hours to fully charge the battery. Power saving and ultra saving modes are completely effective in reducing battery consumption.
