Huawei has released its latest mid-range phone, the Huawei Maimang 8. The Maimang phones are usually rebranded as the Mate Lite offerings, but the Maimang 8 appears to be a deviation from that trend.

Huawei, yesterday, unveiled a not-quite brand new device in the Maimang 8. Like all Maimang series phones, the Maimang 8 is exclusive to the Chinese market and will not be coming to the West.

The Maimang 8 sports a 6.21-inch FHD+ IPS display. There's a teardrop notch at the top of the phone, and bezels are reasonably slim. At the back of the phone is a triple camera setup: a 24 MP main snapper, 16 MP ultra-wide shooter, and a 2 MP depth sensor for bokeh shots. At the front is an 8 MP selfie shooter.

The Maimang 8 is powered by a Kirin 710 and features 6 GB of RAM and 64 GB of storage. That storage is expandable by means of a MicroSD card. There's a 3400 mAh battery, chargeable via a MicroUSB port, which is just woeful to see on a device in 2019.

The Maimang series releases have usually been rebranded as the Mate Lite phones for the global market but the Maimang 8 looks to be a deviation from that thread as it has more in common with the P Smart+ (2019). Pricing starts at US$275.

I like tech, simple as. Half the time, you can catch me writing snarky sales copy. The rest of the time, I'm either keeping readers abreast with the latest happenings in the mobile tech world or watching football. I worked as both a journo and freelance content writer for a couple of years before joining the Notebookcheck team in 2017. Feel free to shoot me some questions on Twitter or Reddit if it so tickles thine fancy.
