Three unidentified Huawei smartphones have appeared on TENAA. Since two of them have similar model number and appeal, they seem to be variants of an upcoming Huawei phone while the third one seems to be a different smartphone. It is speculated that these two phones may arrive in the market as Huawei Nova 3, Nova 3 Plus and Y3/Y5 2018.

The design of the Huawei FLA-AL00 and FLA-TL10 are quite similar. The appearance of the dual camera setup looks similar to the Huawei Nova 2Nova 2 series phones. Hence, these variants are speculated to debut as Nova 3 and Nova 3 Plus.  The AL00 Huawei phones are usually made available through China Unicom whereas the TL00 variants are sold through either China Mobile or China Telecom in the home country. Hence, the FLA-AL00 and FLA-TL10 could be the carrier variants of the Nova 3.

The Huawei LDN-TL00 is speculated to be the successor of Huawei Y3 or Y5 2017 smartphones from last year. Since the Huawei Y5 2017 was unveiled in April and the Nova 2, Nova 2 Plus, Y3 2017 phones were launched in May, it is speculated that the their successor models may arrive early in the second quarter of this year.

Huawei has silently taken the wraps of a new phone, the Y5 2017. The new device will succeed the Huawei Y5 II released last year.

The Huawei Y5 2017 boasts an upgrade for most of the features of its predecessor. The RAM and ROM have been doubled to 2GB and 16GB respectively. The storage can be expanded via a MicroSD card slot (128GB max) that also doubles as the second SIM slot. The battery capacity has also been bumped up to 3000mAh even though the screen size and resolution haven’t changed (5-inches HD).

The Huawei Y5 2017 is powered by the MT6737T quad-core chip clocked at 1.4GHz. The rear camera is an 8MP shooter and there is a 5MP sensor with soft light in front for selfies. There is single band WiFi, Bluetooth 4.0 and GPS for connectivity. Sadly the budget phone doesn’t get the new EMUI 5.0 but comes with version 4.1 based on Android 6.0.

One cool feature it does have is what Huawei calls Easy Key, a dedicated hardware button on the left that can be configured for a variety of functions. You can set it to fire up your favorite apps or launch the camera or turn on the flashlight depending on if you press, double tap,or double tap and hold it.
