Huawei has been busy this year, releasing a number of devices in different lineups at  regular intervals. First it was the Huawei P8, then came the Huawei Honor 7 and later we saw the Honor 4A aimed at the budget customers.

Just a couple of days back, we came across a TENAA listing wherein the Huawei Honor model, ATH-AL00 & ATH-AL00H (higher end version?) passed through TENAA. While the Chinese certification website failed to reveal the specs of the devices, the pictures showed us a unique rear camera unit. From the images, it looked as if the camera could slide up to act as a front facing shooter too.

Earlier today, Huawei’s Honor Weibo account released a new teaser, which said “Little More Than Amazing”, showing the dates August 10. So, it looks like the ATH-AL00 model that we saw on TENAA could be announced on the above mentioned date.
As you can see in the pictures above, the rear camera can slide up to act as a front facing shooter. This means, you get flash (probably Xenon) both on the front as well as the back. Unlike the OPPO N1 which had the same rear camera act as the front facing shooter, it looks like this Huawei model comes with two separate camera sensors.

What’s the exact benefit from such a unique design is still to be known. However, given that the launch could be as soon as August 10, we hope to get more information in the coming days.

Back in July, we had spotted three new Huawei smartphones on the Chinese National Radio Certification website. Out of the three, the Huawei ATH-AL00 has just hit TENAA revealing a few more details about the device.

The design is one of the most interesting features of the ATH-AL00. While from the front, the phone looks pretty normal, the back of the device is unique. The rear camera is located on the top left corner, but it looks like the camera unit is designed to pop out of its location. You can see that the camera and the flash lies in a small rectangular box, that stands out from the body. Unlike the OPPO N1 which had a motorized rotating camera unit, this one could be a manual flip camera.

You will also find a dedicated button on the right, probably for the camera. It is also said that the button could incorporate a fingerprint sensor, but we are not sure of that at the moment. Unfortunately, the TENAA listing said nothing about the camera or other spec details.

Actually, there are two versions on TENAA of this model, including an ATH-AL00H variant, which could be the higher-end version. Its almost a tradition by Huawei to release two different versions of a model this year, one standard and the other high-end. So, we could see the same treatment to this ATH-AL00H model.

Anyways, what do you think about its camera design?
