- I don't see anything unbelievable in it. Maybe they did it simply for economy purpose, or they don't want to give NM cards support for Honor subbrand at all (since there is no Honor smartphone with NM card support to date).
> "They must have ditched the NM memory idea completely if they don't provide it with their last models."
- Again, you are wrong: latest Huawei P30 and P30 Pro have support of NM cards.

So even in the thread people weren't sure until they found out. Well, it seems it doesn't have, and this is a real fiasco, they've lost their minds, that's why it was hard for me to believe. They must have ditched the NM memory idea completely if they don't provide it with their last models. Why did they invest in it if they don't use it? They're mentally insane.

They specify only presence of NM card slot, if there is no slot - they don't write about it. So View 20 has NO NM CARD SLOT, OPEN YOUR EYES AND MIND ALREADY!

I saw the manufacturer's page from the start, but they often leave out certain specs, I've seen this practice a lot. It doesn't say No on some Memory extension chart field, it simplu doesn't specify anything.

Anyway, Huawei-Honor itself states on their websites that View 20 has no NM card slot - so stop arguing!

I watched this video - where guy puts NM card in Honor View 20 - AND NOTHING HAPPENS! There was no indication of View 20 reading that card AT ALL!
I even went to German website of Honor - and it also says NOTHING about NM cards support! Neither does Russian website, or British, or French.
https://www.hihonor.com/de/product/honor-view-20 - click on "Technische Daten".
In comparison - page of Mate 20 which has support of NM cards: https://consumer.huawei.com/de/phones/mate20/specs/
By the way, why didn't you check official sites in the first place, before accusing GSMArena of being unprofessional?! Yes, they made mistakes in specifications lists, but not like this. And there was no way they could not recognise if there was NM card slot in View 20 - WHEN THEY OPENED ITS SLOTS TRAY!
This is just ridiculous!

Search this on YT: Honor View 20 | Magic UI 2 - Ersteinrichtung und Huawei NM Card Test
Gsmarena is one of the most unprofessional sites in this regard, they juggled with specs for many phones and sometimes they didn't get it right, not even in the latest update of the specs. First, somebody put NM in specs, but at that moment it was leaked specs, then the official specs arrived and they put SD card because they didn't pay attention. I told them it doesn't have SD and they updated it with no slot at all, without any research. When I told them it hasn't got SD, I didn't mean it doesn't have a card slot at all, but it has the new NM fiasco...

Nicolas F, 04 Apr 2019Honor View 20 has no memory card slots: https://m.gsmarena.com/honor_view_20-review-1880p2.php
Sure, but did you know gsmarena changed the specs several times? From NM card to SD card, then to no card? Some sources say it has NM card slot, and some say it doesn't have, and those that say it doesn't have took the specs from here, so I tend to believe it has a NM card slot.
The idea of the NM card is that you can use the second SIM tray as a NM card slot. It would have been criminal from Huawei not to use it after such a huge investment in the format and after making it so facile to implement in a phone.

Anonymous, 02 Apr 2019Which way is it better may I know please?Mate 20 is better than View 20 because:
- hole-punch in View 20 is more obtrusive than waterdrop notch in Mate 20; also, the corner line of pixels around hole in View 20 is useless - why not move camera to the side and let all pixels be useful?
- TOF-camera in View 20 is useless gimmick, while Mate 20 has real [12 MP 1.55µm] main camera (which is better than just an imitation of [12 MP 1.6µm] in View 20 main camera), telephoto camera (also capable of boke effect, so no advantage of TOF here too) and ultra-wide camera;
- Mate 20 has 3.1 mm more (than View 20) width to its display while having only 1.8 mm more width to its body;
- Mate 20 has RGBW display which results in more on-screen battery life in applications where there is many white areas (like in OLED's with black), especially web-browsing;
- Mate 20 has stereo-speakers (and FM radio for those who need it);
- View 20 makes you pay for its fancy back design even if you don't want to;
Mate 20 is better than Mate 20 Pro because:
- Mate 20 has flat display; curved display has many cons:
- it is more expensive than the same flat screen;
- it distorts content;
- it can cause accidental touches (yeah, no smartphone is to be used without a case, but still; and case with curved display can interfere with gesture navigation, so it's still a flaw);
- it is unnecessary because slim side bezels can be achieved without curvation of display - and Mate 20 is a proof of that (also Meizu 15 series)!
- GSMArena test shows Mate 20 Pro has less battery life (and just less than hour more in video - on OLED display, Carl!) than Mate 20 with bigger battery capacity - yes, it has QHD display (not so necessary even on OLED) and UDFP - but it's their concern to make them more energy efficient, not mine;

This isn't how you promote a standard. I've skipped the Mate 20 because of this and now the View 20. The Poco F1 tempted me, but I can't stand the huge notch and the fairly big bezels. Maybe F2 will be ok if it's LCD. I'm looking for an LCD one because my usage is prone to burn in. Or maybe the godamn NM cards will show up.
