A possible budget Huawei P40 variant appears in an official certification

Huawei has been rumored to release a successor for the Enjoy 9 with a model number along the lines of ART-Lxx. More recently, a phone with such a provisional title has surfaced on the Eurasian Economic Commission's (EEC) database. However, it has a completely different product name that put it in a separate smartphone line.

The new phone is listed as the P40 Lite E in its new documentation. This has led to speculation that it will indeed be part of this series on its launch on the Russian market (and possibly some others), even though there is no P30 Lite E. However, it might still end up as the Enjoy 10 in the Chinese market.

This phone may have also surfaced on the Geekbench database in 2019. However, its model number was ART-AL00x, and not the ART-L29 of the "Lite E". Should they really be the same phone, it may be powered by the Kirin 710F processor and 4GB of RAM. These slightly old-fashioned specs would fit in with the prospect of a more cost-effective P-series variant in 2020.
