Design-wise, the Honor 20S features the same elements as its older sibling. At the back, the phone features a glossy gradient design with a triple sensor rear camera vertically mounted on the left and a fingerprint sensor on the side of the smartphone.

The display is a 6.26-inch IPS LCD panel with a 1080p resolution and a punch-hole at the top left for housing the selfie camera. Honor claims that the display covers 96 percent of the color gamut.
