Tech behind HONOR View20's Liquid Cooling System, AI Tripple Antenna WiFi & Dual GPS

THE LIQUID COOLING SYSTEM

With HONOR View20’s leading capabilities, the smartphone has a relatively high demand for power. This could make heat dissipation a challenge, especially with heavy duty applications like 3D gaming. To solve this issue, HONOR engineers developed an innovative liquid cooling technology which is a highly efficient liquid cooling system that can effectively dissipate heat for better performance.

Liquid-based cooling systems have existed for PCs for decades. The higher heat capacity of liquid makes it a better coolant than gas in carrying heat away from processing units. Figuring out how to implement such complicated systems in a palm-size smartphone required real ingenuity.

Highly efficient with small footprint

HONOR View20 uses a heat conducting pipe filled with liquid coolant. The tube touches on main units such as chipset, camera and the battery charging chip. The heat dissipated from these units heats up the liquid inside the pipe and evaporates the coolant. The pipe then carries the coolant to the edge of the smartphone for releasing heat. At the other end of the pipe, the heat is dissipated, and the coolant is converted back into liquid form. Through a capillary action, the coolant flows back to the beginning of the pipe and this cycle continues. It is a highly effective process and the cooling system is skillfully designed and implemented in a tiny pipe which is safe for use in smartphones.

In addition to the liquid-based cooling system, HONOR View20 is equipped with a heat conducting middle frame and heat dissipation components made with graphite, an excellent conductor of heat. As a result, heat can be quickly transferred outside the smartphone.

HONOR conducted a test to compare the heat dissipation of HONOR View20 with 8 other smartphones across different usage scenarios: watching videos, listening to music, taking photos, gaming and online video chatting. HONOR View20 was ranked at the top in overall performance. It performed especially well with video intensive applications like online videos and video apps such as TikTok, maintaining a relatively low temperature even under intensive usage. With the new cooling technology, the temperature of HONOR View20 dropped 5°C when playing gaming or watching videos according to laboratory testing results.

AI TRIPLE-ANTENNA WI-FI

In the latest smartphone antenna design, the antenna is usually embedded around the edge of mobile phones -- enabling a slim and elegant phone design and enhancing the connectivity with Wi-Fi networks. However, your hand can easily cover part of the antenna when you hold the phone horizontally, and that can weaken the signal. In the worst-case scenario, your hand covers key spots of the antenna and the Wi-Fi connection is seriously affected.

HONOR View20 introduces a new Triple-Antenna Wi-Fi technology to solve this problem. This technology utilizes multiple antennas to prevent the signal from weakening when a user’s hands covers the receiver. Signals will be channeled between different antennas and the best network signal for gaming and other applications can be enjoyed in every moment, everywhere.

Extensive study on user habits

Studies show that most people hold the smartphone vertically when using applications like WhatsApp and use two hands to hold it horizontally when playing games. HONOR engineers studied different holding positions and their impact on connectivity, and discovered that there is no single antenna solution that can solve all problems. Thus, a multi-antenna solution was developed.

HONOR View20 has a central antenna placed at the back of the phone. The other two antennas are placed on the two sides, forming a “V” shape antenna system. The beauty of such system is that three antennas are pointing at different angles and complementing each other. When you play game and hold the phone horizontally, the system monitors network signals and switches to the central antenna if antennas at the edges are affected. The system keeps monitoring the Wi-Fi network and optimizes connectivity by switching between antennas. There is always an antenna which can provide the best connectivity, ultimately solving the “holding” problem. A “V” shape antenna system.

AI DUAL-FREQUENCY GPS

The smartphone is probably your best travel companion because of detailed mobile maps and accurate GPS. However, the traditional single band GPS solution often cannot provide the accuracy you need, especially driving in a crowded city full of tall buildings. HONOR View20 adopts a new approach by leveraging L1 & L5 dual frequency simultaneously. The new Dual Frequency GPS technology allows you to always find destinations with tremendous accuracy.

Global Positioning System (GPS) is a network of about 30 satellites orbiting the Earth at an altitude of 20,200 km. You can use a GPS device like a smartphone to receive the radio signals that the satellites broadcast. Wherever you are on the planet, at least four GPS satellites are ‘visible’ at any time. These signals from satellites are intercepted by your smartphone, which calculates how far away each satellite is based on and how long it took for the messages to arrive. Your smartphone can pinpoint your location by calculating this data.

HONOR View20 has a built-in GPS capability which supports four Satellite Positioning Systems – GPS (L1+L5), GLONASS, Beidou and GALILEO (E1 + E5a). Unlike the single-frequency GPS used by most smartphones, HONOR View20 can simultaneously receive GPS signals in two frequency bands. Dual-band (L1+L5) GPS positioning technology is a top-end flagship feature.

In addition, HONOR’s AI GPS Satellite Selection technology enhances the positioning accuracy across a wide range of scenarios. This greatly enhances navigation accuracy, especially in dense urban environments.
