Performance
Underneath the attractive exterior, the Honor 20S is powered by the efficient Kirin 810 chipset, built on a 7 nm process. This is complemented by an octa-core CPU configuration featuring two high-performance Cortex-A76 cores clocked at 2.27 GHz for demanding tasks and six Cortex-A55 cores at 1.88 GHz for efficiency. The Mali-G52 MP6 GPU handles graphical processing, making the device suitable for everyday tasks as well as more intensive applications. Running on Android 9.0 (Pie) with Magic UI 2.1, the software experience is smooth and user-friendly, though it lacks some of the newest updates available on more recent devices.
