Honor V20 is seen to sport a punch-hole selfie camera design with the sensor placed on the top left edge of the smartphone. The cutout is just 4.5mm in size, and is very non-invasive, the company claims. At the back, the smartphone sports a dual rear camera setup aligned horizontally and a rear fingerprint sensor as well.
