Honor 20 Series Gets A New Color Option And Beta Build Of Android 10 Update

Major smartphone companies, like Huawei and Xiaomi, love to release new color options for its older devices to add more buzz and keep it looking fresh in the mobile market. This week, Honor, another popular Chinese smartphone brand, just revealed that it will release an Orange color option for the Honor 20 series on the first day of the month of November.

Traditionally, the Honor 20 smartphone series has always come with fancy color options like Icelandic white, the Phantom Red and Phantom Blue. Now, the Honor 20S is getting another addition to the mix, Orange, but this latest color option is, reportedly, going to be different from others.

Following a big announcement about the new color addition, an Honor fan just shared his render of the new orange color option, suggesting that it should look like the Vegan Leather Orange of the widely popular Huawei Mate 30 smartphone.

Gizmo China reported the Honor 20S smartphone will get a peel-like leather texture at the back of the device and there will be no more fancy color option that many fans are expecting.

The Honor 20S smartphone was introduced in September as a cheaper alternative to the previous Honor 20 and Honor 20 Pro. The device features a less powerful Huawei Kirin 810 chipset and a fingerprint scanner system. The phone boasts with a 6.26-inch LCD panel with a punch-hole design and support for full HD+ resolution. The Honor 20S handset also brings three cameras at the back, the 48-megapixel main camera coupled with an 8-megapixel ultrawide shooter and 2-megapixel dedicated macro lens.

Meanwhile, Honor 20S’s other siblings just received a major update this week. The Honor 20 and Honor 20 Pro device has received the beta version of Android 10 update in the form of Magic UI 3.0, the smartphone firm’s custom Honor skin on top of the Android 10 mobile platform. The Honor devices are also set to receive the final version of the Android 10 update in December, the Android Police reported.

Founded in 2013, Honor is a smartphone brand owned by the Chinese smartphone giant Huawei Technologies. The smartphone brand was formed as part of the Chinese firm’s dual-brand strategy, which focused mainly on younger consumers. The brand’s line of cost-effective smartphone products allows the Chinese company to compete with midrange smartphone providers both in the Chinese and global markets.
