Huawei had revealed a while back that the company is not really interested in competing aggressively in the low-end budget segment like other Chinese smartphone makers. Instead, the company is interested in fighting for the mid-range and top-end market with the likes of Apple and Samsung. But that doesn’t mean the company has abandoned the low-end segment, as we have seen pretty decent offerings in this segment as well. Now, it looks like the company is preparing to refresh its low-end Honor lineup with two new models Honor 5A and Honor 5A Plus. Both these smartphones were spotted on the TENAA certification agency in China.

Specs wise, the Honor 5A comes with a 5-inch display with 720p resolution and a quad-core processor clocked at 1.3GHz. Further, the phone will feature 2GB of RAM and 16GB of ROM. At the back, the device will feature a 13MP sensor, which is an upgrade from 8MP shooter on the Honor 4A released last year. But the front camera remains the same 2MP. Other features include Android 5.1 Lollipop, 2200mAh battery, and 4G LTE support.

Coming to the larger model, the Honor 5A Plus, the phone comes with a 5.5-inch 720p display with an octa-core chip clocked at 1.8GHz under the hood. Inside, you get 2GB of RAM and 16GB of storage, same as the Honor 5A variant, but the battery has been bumped up to 3000mAh. Also, the front gets an 8MP shooter, while the rear features the same 13MP sensor.

Since these two phones have hit TENAA, expect a launch to be soon. Pricing for Honor 5A should be on the same lines as the Honor 4A, i.e. around 699 Yuan which comes to just $106.

Huawei has been aggressively expanding its affordable Honor lineup this year. Its just been around two weeks since the company unveiled its brand new all metal Honor 7 flagship in China. Now, it looks like there will be yet another launch, this time, the Honor 4A on July 21.

The unveiling will take place at the Beijing Galaxy Soho in China, during the Huawei Summer Whirlwind festival. The Festival starts on 21 and goes on till July 23rd. Apparently, a couple of Chinese artists will also be present at the event. Plus, we can see a some musical instruments too on the Honor 4A teaser, which could mean that the phone may have some music-centric features.

During the Festival period, the company will be offering a number of discounts on its existing products. Huawei has not revealed exactly what offers and discounts you’ll get, but it might be a good time to buy your favorite Huawei device from China.

As for the Honor 4A, we have no idea about its specs or pricing. But, given the naming scheme, could it be a direct competitor to the Redmi 2A? If that’s the case, expect at least a 5-inch 720p display, 1GB RAM, 8GB storage and an 8MP camera on the device. Pricing should be around 599 Yuan.

Well, since the unveiling is next week, we don’t have to wait too long to get official details. We will keep you guys updated if we come across more info.
