Today a trusted source who wishes to remain
anonymous but has been reliable in the past sent us an image of an upcoming
official case for a yet unannounced Honor device. Here it is in all its glory: While seeing just the case
doesn't give us a lot of information about the phone it's designed for, there
are still some educated guesses we can make.
First off, it looks like this
handset will have a bunch of rear cameras, as the cutout for those is quite
big. The design of the cutout itself makes us think of the Huawei P30 Pro's
camera arrangement, with the LED flash placed to the right of the main camera
array, although in this case it's on the lower side, not the upper.
We'd venture a guess and say this Honor device will
come with at least three cams on the back, unless it completely apes the P30
Pro and adds a TOF 3D camera under (or above) the LED flash as well. Given that
all of this implies it will be a high-end offering, it's likely to be the Honor
20 Pro, because so far we haven't seen any leaked renders of that handset
itself - whereas the non-Pro Honor 20, if we go by past leaks, will have a
different rear camera arrangement. Then again, if those previous rumors were
wrong, we might in fact be looking at a case for the Honor 20.
The Honor 20 Pro is expected to sport Sony's IMX600
sensor, which apparently has 48MP resolution just like the IMX586 that we've
already seen in a few phones. The Honor 20 Pro has also been rumored to have a
6.1" OLED screen with an under-display fingerprint scanner, the Kirin 980
chipset, and three RAM/storage configurations - 6/128 GB, 8/128 GB, and 8/256
GB. Pricing in China should start around Us$ 450, which will probably translate
into € 500-550 in Europe, and the Honor 20 Pro could get official as soon as
April 25.
