Renders of a yet-to-be-announced Huawei phone have
surfaced online - in high resolution and two color schemes. Now, not to be
ungrateful to Evan Blass for digging up the images, but we're inclined to
disagree with the leaker calling the phone a 'Huawei-branded Honor 8 Pro' -
it's more of a Huawei-branded Honor 7X in our book.
Of course, to be fair, Huawei's entire naming scheme
is a complete mess with seemingly identical phones called entirely different
names across the world. We won't pretend we know marketing better than the
marketing teams at a huge corporation though, and we'll move on.
The renders @evleaks has stumbled upon show a modern
tall-screened phone with not much in the line of bezels. If our suspicion of a
close relationship with the Honor 7X turns out to be correct, this Huawei phone
would come with a 5.93" 1080p display and a midrange Kirin 659 chip.
A dual camera setup on the back would likely be of
the 16MP+2MP variety for some depth effects without moody black and whites,
though that's just us extrapolating from the 7X's specs. The thing is, that
particular Honor phone is the only one in Huawei's lineup with a dual camera
and the flash on the outside, so we feel pretty confident in our speculation of
a close relationship between the two.
In any case, an end will be put to all speculation
in about a week at MWC, when this unnamed Huawei phone will likely become
official.
