The Honor 8S (KSE-LX9) launched in Russia last month. It is an entry-level phone with a Dewdrop HD+ display and a pretty nice dual-textured back. It appears the phone will be launching in China soon, as two Honor phones with model numbers KSA-AL00 and KSA-TL00 with the same specs as the Honor 8S have appeared on TENAA.
The Honor KSA-AL00 was first seen on China’s 3C website back in January but then it wasn’t revealed to be an Honor-branded device.
The phone will have a 5.71-inch 1520 x 720 display. There is no image but since this is definitely the Honor 8S, we know it has a Dewdrop notch.
There is a 2.0GHz quad-core processor under the hood which is the Helio A22 and it is paired with 2GB/3GB of RAM and 16GB/32GB of storage. A MicroSD card (dedicated slot for the 8S) will allow you add up to an extra 512GB of storage. We really want to know if there is anyone willing to put such a large capacity storage card in this entry-level device.
The Honor KSA-AL00 will have a single 13MP rear camera and a 5MP selfie camera. It should also have Face Unlock since it is missing a fingerprint scanner.
The phone runs Android 9 Pie (with EMUI 9 on top) and has a 2920mAh battery. It will come in gold, black, and blue, weigh 146 grams and measure 147.13 x 70.78 x 8.45 millimeters.

We expect the phone to launch very soon. However, there is a chance it may have a different name in China.
