Huawei expected to announce new Honor smartphone on August 10
Chinese manufacturer Huawei has sent out press invitations for an event on August 10, 2015. Details on what the new device will be, however, remain a mystery.
For now, it appears unlikely that Huawei will reveal the Mate 8 flagship. A more likely option is the Honor 7 Plus, which would offer not just a metal casing, but also a 5.5-inch FHD screen, a fingerprint scanner, a Kirin processor, 3 GB RAM, and 16 GB eMMC.
In contrast to the Honor 7 Plus, a potential Honor 8 could be even better. In addition to a larger 6-inch QHD screen, the smartphone could carry 4 GB RAM, 64 GB eMMC, a fingerprint scanner, and a rear 20.7 MP camera.
The two new devices are expected to launch in Asian markets first, but their official reveal and announcement times are unknown.
