One step ahead of the curve yet again, Chinese manufacturer Huawei was unveiled their innovative new smartphone.

Huawei’s sub-brand Honor announced the HONOR View20 at an event in Paris which takes on a new, notch-less era.

In 2018, a screen notch became the norm, following in Apple’s footsteps with the change of design to their iPhone X. This feature was a necessity to enable Face ID ”“ but for many other manufacturers, it was merely to keep up appearances.

HONOR have now bucked the trend for a hole punch selfie camera, taking up a tiny bit of room in the corner and thus allowing for a full screen view.
