It is already known that Huawei’s sub-brand Honor is currently working on its flagship smartphone lineup — Honor V30 series, which is expected to launch pretty soon. Now, it has been revealed that the company is working on another mid-range smartphone.
The upcoming Honor smartphone with model number LRA-AL00 has been certified by 3C, hinting that its launch date is not far away. Further, the listing reveals that the smartphone will come featuring a 64-megapixel camera sensor. This will make it the first smartphone from Honor to feature a 64MP camera and now we have come across more details related to the camera.
A new report related to this upcoming smartphone reveals that the device will come equipped with 1G+6P lens from Lianchuang Electronics, which is designed for high-end devices. Interestingly, the maker of the camera lens has not revealed details about it, citing confidentiality agreement. Although it’s safe to assume that the 64MP camera sensor will be provided by Samsung given that its the only company to have a 64MP sensor in the market right now.
The listing also suggests that the device will come with support for 20W fast charging technology. As per the document, this upcoming Honor smartphone is being referred as “Laura” for the internal research and development.

The smartphone in question seems to be the one that we reported earlier to get launched along with the Honor V30, as a part of Honor Note series. However, there’s a possibility that its not a part of Honor Note series and could be all-new device.
Apart from the 64-megapixel camera sensor and 20W fast charing support, the phone is expected to come powered Huawei’s own 7nm Kirin 810 octa-core processor. It remains to be seen if the company continues without offering Google Play Services outside China as well, similar to what it did with the Mate 30 series.
Given that the company’s own HarmonyOS is not yet ready for smartphones, it’s more likely that the brand will continue with the same strategy it adopted for the Mate 30 series for the software department. Thus, while the smartphone will be powered by Android OS, it won’t be Google certified and so no official access to Google services and apps.
While the smartphone will be a mid-range offering, there’s no information available regarding its pricing or launch date. We expect to know more about the smartphone, including its specifications, in the coming days.
