We've heard some things before about the upcoming
Mate 20 and Mate 20 Pro, but there was nothing on the Lite version until now. Twitter leakster Roland Quandt,
tweeted about the Mate 20 Lite coming in two variants. He concluded on the
basis of the two different code names he was told - "Sydney M + Sydney
I." He also speculates that the alterations will feature a rear-mounted
fingerprint reader and an in-display one based on the information he got about
the phones' accessories.
However, we don't think that Huawei will put this
fresh new tech on the budget Mate 20 variant. Also, if it follows the footsteps
of last year's Mate 10 Lite with the LCD panel, this wouldn't allow the
incorporation of the under display fingerprint reader. So we are guessing a
good old-fashioned fingerprint scanner on the chin?
We will know more once some more revealing leaks
start to pop up and we assume the Lite model will be launched alongside the
Mate 20 and 20 Pro sometime this Fall. October launch seems plausible judging
by the previous generation's release schedule.
