The first quarter of the year is almost over and there are already a lot of new phones in the market but with 9 months left in the year, there are still several more that will be released. Yesterday, a number of new devices were approved by the Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC). Some are successors to already existing models and others are new models entirely.
Honor 20 and Honor 20 Pro
Thanks to trademark applications filed by Huawei last year, we already know the successors to the Honor 10 series will not be the Honor 11 but the Honor 20. The Honor 20 series will include the Honor 20 itself, the Honor 20A, Honor 20C, and Honor 20X.
The EEC documents reveal the Honor 20 will have the model number YAL-L21 and it will bring along the Honor 20 Pro whose model number is YAL-L41. The Honor 20 will be a flagship phone with a Kirin 980 processor. There are reports it will have a triple camera setup on its rear which includes a 48MP primary sensor paired with a 20MP secondary sensor and another 8MP sensor. It has also been reported that it will have a 32MP selfie camera, a 3,650mAh battery, and run Android 9 Pie out of the box. There is no info on the Honor 20 Pro but we expect a bigger display, a bigger battery, and a different camera configuration.
Huawei Y5 (2019) and Huawei P Smart Z
Huawei already launched the Huawei Y6 (2019) and the Huawei Y7 (2019). The EEC documents reveal there will be a Huawei Y5 (2019) too. The phone has the model number AMN-LX9 and should have fewer features compared to the Y6 and Y7.
Another phone called the Huawei P Smart Z also received approval. The device’s model number is STK-LX1 which is identical to that of another phone called the Huawei P Smart Pro which also got approved by the EEC about a week ago.
There is no information on the specs of these phones.
Realme 3 Pro, Vivo 1901 and Vivo 1902
Huawei and Honor are not the only brands that got EEC approvals. Realme also got approval for its upcoming Realme 3 Pro. Vivo’s entry-level Vivo 1901 and Vivo 1902 which were seen on Geekbench last week have also been approved by the European agency.
We are not sure which of these phones will hit the market first but we believe the Honor 20 should launch towards the end of April or in early May since the Honor 10 launched in May 2018 too.
