In the months following the launch of the Kirin 990 and Kirin 810 processors, Huawei and Honor‘s new models launched outside China have actually just been new designs with old processors. The same is set to happen again with the upcoming Honor 20S for Europe.

According to Winfuture.de, the Honor 20S arriving in Europe is nothing like the one that launched in China in September. Instead, it can be called a rebranded Huawei P30 Lite.

The Honor 20S for Europe will soon launch in Russia and will have model number MAR-LX1H. The phone will come with a 6.15-inch FHD+ display with a waterdrop notch. Powering it is the Kirin 710 processor and not the Kirin 810. It should have 4GB of RAM and 128GB of storage but Honor may change the configuration to differentiate it from the Huawei P30 Lite.

The phone will have triple rear cameras with a 48MP primary camera. The secondary cameras are not stated but it is reported that they too may be changed. The P30 Lite has an 8MP ultrawide camera and a 2MP depth sensor. There is also a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner and Huawei’s logo has been replaced with Honor’s at the bottom.

The rest of the specs are currently unknown. However, press renders show the Honor 20S will be available in Pearl White, Peacock Blue, and Midnight Black.

The Honor 9X Pro is heading to Europe more than two months after it launched in China. However, when it does, there will be a major difference between the European version and the one sold in China.

According to Sudhanshu Ambhore (@Sudhanshu1414), press renders of the Honor 9X Pro heading to the Old Continent, show the phone has its fingerprint scanner on the back. Yes, a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner and not a side-mounted one like the Chinese variant.

As at the time of writing, we do not know why Honor is making this change. We also cannot say if this will be the same for the model launching in other markets such as India.

Other than the change in the position of the fingerprint scanner, we have not learned of any other differences. Based on that, the Honor 9X Pro should arrive in Europe with a 6.59-inch FHD+ display, a 16MP pop-up selfie camera, and a 48MP + 8MP + 2MP triple camera setup.

It should have the Kirin 810 processor with 8GB of RAM, though there is a chance it may get a 6GB RAM version too. Storage should also be 128GB or 256GB. Other features are a 4000mAh battery, Bluetooth 5.0, an audio jack, and EMUI 9.1 based on Android 9 Pie. The press renders show the phone will be available in Magic Night Black and Phantom Purple.

There is still no date for the launch but once we know, we will share it with you.

The post Europe’s Honor 9X Pro will differ from Chinese version appeared first on Gizmochina.

Last week, Honor announced two new smartphones in China- the Honor 8X and the Honor 8X Max. We are sure fans of the brand have been wondering when both phones will be released in other countries. We have good news for those who live in Europe.

Honor has announced that the Honor 8X will be heading to the Czech Republic on October 11. The launch will take place in Prague. Sadly, there is no info about the bigger and more powerful Honor 8X Max.

The Honor 8X has a 6.5-inch notched display with a 1080 x 2340 resolution. It is the first smartphone in the world to be awarded the TUV Rheinland certification for displays. The certification is awarded to displays that are flicker-free and have reduced glare and low blue light.

Powering the Honor 8X is the new Kirin 710 chipset along with 4GB/6GB of RAM. There is 64GB/128GB of storage with support for expansion via a dedicated MicroSD card slot. There is a 20MP + 2MP dual camera combo on the rear and a 16MP camera within the notch.

The phone runs EMUI 8.1 based on Android 8.1 Oreo, packs a 3750mAh battery (no fast charge), and has dual SIM support. It also has GPU Turbo for improved gaming and a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner.

The Honor 8X has a starting price of ¥1399 (~$177) for the 4GB RAM version while the 6GB RAM model with 128GB sells for ¥1599 (~$240). We believe Honor will keep the starting price under €250 in Europe when it announces it next month. Although the Honor 7X launched for €299 last year, that price wouldn’t work this year seeing as the POCOPHONE F1 which has better specs overall is sold for €330 in Europe.

Availability in other markets should be announced later.
