It is not uncommon for Huawei to launch the Honor smartphones in some region under the Huawei brand name. There are speculations that scenario may play out yet again in Malaysia where the Honor 20 may launch as Huawei Nova 5T.

A device has just been certified in Malaysia bearing the moniker Huawei Nova 5T and having the model number YAL-L21. Interestingly, the Honor 20 which is already available globally comes with the same model- YAL-L21. If this turns out to be true, the device could be the first Nova 5 series smartphone to be launched outside China.

The Honor 20 was initially announced with four cameras on the back and a punch-hole design for the selfie shooter. It is slightly different from the Honor 20 Pro but still comes with the high-end Kirin 980 chipset. The device was launched in the thick of the trade war between the U.S. and China and so no release date was fixed. However, the phone was released in Europe, Eurasia and the Middle East a month later.

While the phone costs around $500 in Europe, it carries a rather cheaper MYR1,699 (about $410) price in Malaysia. The company may also release the Honor 20 Pro under a different moniker but we are not so sure about that.
