In November 2020, Huawei announced that Honor is no longer its sub-brand as it will continue to function independently. Fresh information reveals that Huawei may have given away its Maimang line of smartphones to China Telecom. The reason behind it is that China Telecom has recently confirmed that it will be launching the Maimang 10 SE at 2:30 PM on July 19 in China. The launch date poster has no Huawei branding, which suggests that Huawei will not be manufacturing or marketing the device.

Last year, Huawei announced the Maimang 9 smartphone in July. At that time, the R&D, manufacturing, and marketing of the device was done by Huawei. The Maimang 9 handset had carried Huawei’s logo. Since Huawei is not mentioned in the launch poster, it is unclear whether the device is involved in the manufacturing of the device. Since China Telecom does not have a mobile phone manufacturing plant, probably it has worked with an ODM to build the Maimang 10 SE.

Maimang 10 SE specifications (Rumored)

Fresh leaks have revealed that the Maimang 10 SE has a 6.5-inch LCD 60Hz display with a teardrop notch. For security, it has a side-mounted fingerprint scanner. The display notch houses a selfie snapper of 8-megapixel.

The squarish camera on the backside of the device has a 13-megapixel main camera, and a pair of 2-megapixel sensors. The Snapdragon 480 5G chipset is present under the hood of the device.

The handset is expected to arrive with a 5,000mAh battery that carries support for 22.5W fast charging. At present, there is no information on the pricing of the device. Shown above are the live shots of the Maimang 10 SE. As can be seen, the device does not feature a Huawei logo.
