Huawei and Honor might have a big issues outside
China, but at home the company and its subsidiary remain a leader in the
smartphone market. One way to keep the top spot is launching new phones every
month, and the latest device that Honor will unveil is going to be called Honor
20 Lite.
One user on Weibo was complaining there is no new
phone for her, and then George Zhao, Honor CEO, chimed in, saying she should
wait for the Honor 20 Lite that will look good and will take great photos,
including group shots.
A device codenamed Honor LRA-AL00 was certified by
TENAA, although photos are yet to emerge. The specs list includes octa-core CPU
that is likely coming on a Kirin 810 chipset, up to 8/256 GB memory and three
cameras. The main shooter will be 48 MP and it will be flanked by an 8 MP
snapper and a 2 MP depth sensor. Whether this is the upcoming Honor 20 Lite or
a completely new smartphone, we are yet to see.
The Honor 20 Lite moniker is definitely not new -
such a phone with three cameras can be found in Europe or the Asia Pacific
region. However, the device is sold under the name Honor 20i in China, meaning
the domestic market is going to see a completely new smartphone, or at least a
rebranded Huawei handset.
