Here’s a closer look at the Honor View 20’s display hole camera sensor

Honor has offered a brief look at its upcoming View 20 at an event in Hong Kong.
The smartphone features a front-facing camera cutout at the top of the device, but no notch.

We're in Hong Kong to check out Honor's new View 20 smartphone, and even though we haven't had an opportunity to see the phone without a protective case, we did get a glimpse at its new "all-view" display hole camera sensor.
