Huawei has released a new
image via its official Weibo account mentioning that a new device called the
Honor 8 Youth Edition will also be launched
in China on February 21.
The Honor 8 Youth Edition is a toned-down variant of
the popular Honor 8 released last year. It has the same attractive glass and
metal design as the Honor 8 but skips on a number of features.
The Honor 8 Youth Edition is expected to launch with
a 5.2-inch 1080p display, a Huawei Kirin 655 processor, and 3GB of RAM. Instead
of dual rear cameras, the phone gets a
single 12MP sensor with f/2.2 aperture. Up front is an 8MP front-facing camera
for selfies. The device will come with a 3,000 mAh battery and will launch with
EMUI 5.0 out of the box. It will be available in black, white, gold, and blue.
The Honor 8 Youth Edition poster has the picture of
Chinese-born Canadian singer, Wu Yifan on it. This means he’ll be serving as
spokesperson for the phone when it launches.
The Honor 8 Youth Edition is the same as the Honor 8
Lite spotted in Finland earlier this month and also the same device as the Nova
Lite and the Huawei P8 Lite (2017) released in January. It is possible that
Huawei is releasing the device under different names in different regions.
