Months after both the Honor 20 and the Huawei P30 have been released , we can find them in very similar prices that can make us doubt their characteristics for which of them we should bet. From the aesthetic section to their cameras they will be different and so you have no doubts about which to opt for, we will know each of its sections.
Throughout the comparison you can leave doubts and checking in which section each terminal is victorious in the comparison of the Honor 20 and Huawei P30 , and then analyzing your needs you know which phone is more recommended according to the use that we will give to its cameras, battery or different sections.
Design and screen
We start with the aesthetic section, where the Honor 20 has a glass body, while the Huawei P30 offers the first difference in an aluminum alloy body. Both materials are capable of the best, although the can and a half range is increasingly committed to glass by offering aesthetically more attractive results. However in terms of colors, the Huawei P30 takes the palm with up to five colors among which white, blue and even red. Meanwhile the Honor 20 only offers us classic black and a blue with reflections.
As for the screen, we have 6.2 inches in the Honor 20 , slightly above the 6.1 inches of the Huawei P30 . In the case of the technology used, the Huawei P30 offers us an AMOLED screen, while the Honor 20 IPS, its resolution is identical in both cases 2340 x 1080 , with an aspect ratio also traced 19.5: 9.
The Honor 20 presents its fingerprint reader on the side of the phone and the Huawei P30 offers us an integrated reader under the screen. On the front the Honor 20 has a hole on the screen to make way for its front camera and the Huawei P30 has a small notch in the shape of a drop of water, two different ways to solve the same need.
Processor and traced configuration
We will not have to worry about the performance of both devices, since in both we find the same processor, the Kirin 980 with a frequency of 2.6 GHz. Your response will be very good in both cases, without long waiting times and the possibility of playing the heaviest games, taking advantage of the graphics using the Mali G76 GPU.
In the storage configuration we also find practically the same result, a more than enough RAM of 6 GB of RAM and a memory of 128 GB . Although in the Honor 20 we will not have support for SD cards , while in Huawei P30 we can expand the memory even more.
Honor 20
The cameras are a key point
The configuration of both devices in terms of cameras offers us good results using the artificial intelligence of Huawei. While in Honor 20 we find four rear cameras, the most prominent with 48 Mpx and ƒ / 1.8 aperture. The second lens is 1 6 Mpx , making the functions of wide angle with aperture ƒ / 2.2, in addition to a single lens to increase versatility with 2 Mpx for information and get a better portrait mode and finally another 2 Mpx lens to get macro mode.
The cameras of the Huawei P30 stand out for the good results obtained with its large zoom in its 40 Mpx lens and f / 1.8 aperture that next to the lens with 8 Mpx telephoto lens, is capable of offering a 3x optical zoom, 5x hybrid zoom and a digital zoom to get images of the moon with up to 30 magnifications . Finally also ditch with a 16 Mpx sensor for the wide angle.
On the front, the selfie cameras again coincide with a resolution of 32 Mpx and an aperture f / 2.0 that will allow us to obtain good selfies in low light situations.
Huawei P30
Both devices have autofocus and 4K video recording with digital stabilizer and a slow motion that achieves 960 fps in both cases.
Battery and connectivity
If for us the battery is an important aspect and we want it to last a long day, we must have a ditch in its capacity, where the Honor 20 has 3,750 mAh is very wide, compared to 3,650 mAh of the Huawei P30 . In both devices its fast charge is the same, with 22.5 W that allow us to quickly charge our mobile with its original charger without having to wait too long. Its optimization and the screen will spend a practically traced percentage, although we must count on the AMOLED technology of the Huawei P30 can reduce that consumption if we use the dark mode of the applications.
Connectivity, where the Honor 20 has lost the audio jack , making us have to opt for Bluetooth headphones, while the Huawei P30 is still present this audio input. Bluetooth 5.0 LE is present in both, as well as 4G connectivity and USB Type-C input.
The latest version of Android and EMUI
Luckily, the Huawei firm has been fast deploying the latest version of Android 10 and we already have it in both terminals. An update that was accompanied by EMUI 10 and offering the dark mode so desired, as well as other better ones that affect the operation, the use of gestures and other additives that have been incorporated into their cameras to further improve the results.
To date, Huawei has taken care of the Honor brand and its own name similarly, so we will not have to think that Huawei will forget us in case we opt for the Honor 20. Both smartphones are receiving their corresponding patches and Security without problems so far.
The decision is in the price
Their prices are similar again, although slightly higher in the Honor 20 that offers us yes, as added their Honor Sport Bluetooth headphones with which the lack of the audio jack will not affect us so much, in addition to the Honor Band 4 sports bracelet , all this for a price of 499 euros .
On the other hand, the Huawei P30 has some higher aspects for a slightly lower price, although it does not have added that if we buy a part they will increase the price exceeding 500 euros.

Which one do we stay with?
Having known all the features of both terminals we find ourselves in doubt that smartphone is better to buy. On the one hand the cameras of the Honor 20 are more versatile, but the Huawei P30 offers us qualities never seen before in smartphones, we refer to the digital zoom. Continuing with this, the screen of the Huawei P30 is AMOLED and the rest of the sections are practically identical.
When you look at the price, we verify that we can find the Huawei P30 for a price slightly lower than the Honor 20 and therefore if we are not going to need the Honor Band or the wireless headphones, it will be better to opt for the Huawei P30.
We leave you with a table where we compare all the characteristics of both models, so that you have them on hand and draw your own conclusions.
