Honor View20 vs Samsung Galaxy S10 – What’s the better gaming phone?

Samsung Galaxy S10’s refined glass design, gorgeous colors, and the dazzling AMOLED display make it look very charming and desirable. And apart from looking good, the Galaxy S10 is crafted to serve you really well in terms of performance. After all, what are you paying the $900 price for? But if gaming is more important to you than a luxurious package, Honor View20 can provide for a similar experience for much less. Apart from a more attractive price, the Honor View20 also features a Time of Flight (ToF) sensor allowing you to play motion controlled games like an Xbox Kinect. The large price gap is what may makes the difference for many users.
