Honor teased a new smartphone with a hole in the display for mid-January early this month, but it looks like the Chinese company didn't want to wait one more month for the big reveal. The Honor View 20 has been officially unveiled in China, but it will be introduced globally on January 22 in Paris, France.

Apparently, Honor's new device is the world's first smartphone to use nanolithography to create an invisible nanotexture on the back side. Many of you aren't probably aware that nanolithography is the science of etching, writing or printing in order to modify a material surface with structures under 100nm. The reasoning behind adopting such a design for the phone's back cover is to offer a beautiful skin that lives longer.

Also, Honor View 20 adopts the hole in display camera design to maximize the viewing area of the display. According to Honor, the View 20 is the first smartphone to include a FullView display 3.0 and an exceptional 91.8% body-to-screen ratio.
