Huawei may no longer produce smartphones if the US ban continues to exist. Nevertheless, the Chinese telecom giant is still working on to launch new devices. These upcoming handsets are HUAWEI nova8 series and HUAWEI Mate X2. Both of them have been now certified by TENAA exposing their model numbers. Additionally, their codenames have also been revealed.
The TENAA listings of the forthcoming
nova8 series and Mate X2 were first shared by popular leakster Digital Chat
Station on Weibo. He also exposed the codenames of these smartphones. According
to the tipster, the devices in the HUAWEI nova8 series are codenamed “Jessica”
and “JessicaH”. Though he did not mention the marketing name of these products,
they should probably retail as HUAWEI nova8 and HUAWEI nova8 Pro respectively.
Further, they will come with two model numbers each – JSC-AN00 / JSC-TN00 and
HJC-AN00 / HJC-TN00.
Having said that, this is not the first
time we are hearing about the codenames of nova8 series. Back in August,
reputed leaker Evan Blass revealed the devices in the series to be called
“Jessica” as well as “Barbie”. Anyway, he did not straight up mention these
codenames to be of nova8 series as he simply called them to be for next-gen
nova series. That said, the smartphone associated with the latter codename is
still a mystery.
Other than the nova8 series, Digital Chat
Station also revealed the model number of HUAWEI Mate X2 to be TET-AN00.
Unfortunately, he neither shared the screenshot of its TENAA listing nor we
could it find like the above four. Thus, we think it is either yet to be listed
or removed.
As for its codename, it is called “Teton”
just like Evan mentioned last month. According to a report, the third foldable
from Huawei will continue to feature the same 8.03-inch foldable display with a
resolution of 2480 x 2220 pixels. However, unlike its predecessors, the screen
will be of inward folding type like the Galaxy Z Fold2.
It is worth noting that though Huawei is
gearing up to release these smartphones, there’s a chance that they may be only
limited to China and certain global markets as the company currently cannot
place new orders for chips and other supplies.
