Last week, an interesting device called TD Tech N8 Pro went official in China. This smartphone is nothing but a rebadged HUAWEI nova 8 Pro with 5G connectivity and different software. In fact, Huawei itself listed this phone on its official stores across eCommerce platforms. However, for some reason, this handset has been now delisted from everywhere within days of its launch.
According to a report by ITHome, the TD Tech N8 Pro is no longer listed anywhere online. Hence, the publication says that the smartphone has been discontinued. But unfortunately, we don’t have any proof for the device’s discontinuation.
Huawei’s smartphone business is in turmoil ever since the company was added to the entity list by the US government. With the subsequent sanctions, the firm had to even sell its sub-brand HONOR.
Since the once world’s largest smartphone company can now no longer sell phones with 5G connectivity, it has been providing its hardware to other companies, which have licenses to trade 5G handsets.
The TD Tech N8 Pro is one of these phones. As mentioned earlier, this device is a HUAWEI nova 8 Pro inside out. But since it is from a different firm theoretically, it has 5G connectivity.
On the other hand, the now independent HONOR brand registered immense growth last quarter in China. But sadly, the future of Huawei’s smartphone business is not bright at all.
