Maimang line of smartphones are now unveiled by China Telecom, and not by Huawei like before. In July, the Chinese carrier announced the Maimang 10 SE. Now, it has revealed that it will be unveiling the Maimang 10 at 19:08 PM (local time) on Dec. 20 in China. Here is all the information on what to expect from the upcoming Maimang 10 handset.

The official teasers show that the Maimang 10 will be sporting a punch-hole display and a triple camera unit on the back. It will come in three colors such as blue, white, and black.

The TENAA certification of the device had revealed that it will be sporting a 6.58-inch LCD display that delivers a Full HD+ resolution of 1,080 x 2,400 pixels. It is expected to carry support for a 90Hz refresh rate. For selfies, it will be featuring a 16-megapixel front-facing camera.

The rear camera setup of the Maimang 10 will have a 40-megapixel primary camera. It is likely to be coupled with a 20-megapixel secondary lens and a 2-megapixel macro or depth camera. For security, it features a side-facing fingerprint scanner.

The Dimensity 720 chipset may power the Maimang 10. It may come with a 4,400mAh battery that carries support for 40W fast charging. It measures 8.3mm in thickness and weighs 193 grams. The device is likely to be priced at 2,299 Yuan (~$361).

To recollect, the Maimang 10 SE came with specs like a 6.51-inch LCD display, Snapdragon 480 chip, 6 GB of RAM, 128 GB of native storage, a 5,000mAh battery, and 22.5W fast charging.

Last month, a tipster revealed that Maimang 10 budget smartphone will soon go on sale in China. At the same time, the device appeared on TENAA revealing some of its key specs. A few days later, the handset is now said to hit the shelves this month.

According to 菊厂影业Fans on Weibo, China Telecom will release the Maimang 10 in December. It will be positioned as a better version of Maimang 10 SE from earlier this year.

For the uninitiated, the Maimang series of phones are sold exclusively by China Telecom in China. These handsets are made by Huawei. However, from this year onwards, the HUAWEI branding has been dropped.

According to TENAA, the upcoming Maimang 10 will be near identical to NZONE S7 Pro, which is yet another China Telecom-exclusive smartphone developed by Huawei.

The device is expected to come with features like a 6.6-inch HD+ 90Hz punch-hole display, MediaTek Dimensity 720 SoC, 40MP + 20MP + 2MP triple camera setup on the rear, 16MP camera on the front for selfies and video calls, 4,900mAh battery, 40W fast charging, 8.4mm thickness, and 179g weight.

Last but not least, the Maimang 10 could cost around ¥2,299 ($361). In other words, the phone offers very little for its asking price when compared to other smartphones in the segment.

The post Maimang 10 tipped to launch this month in China appeared first on Gizmochina.

Huawei Maimang series of smartphones are exclusive to China Telecom. The carrier dropped the HUAWEI branding with the launch of Maimang 10 SE  earlier this year. Four months later, details about the vanilla Maimang 10 emerge.

According to WHYLAB, China Telecom has quietly released Maimang 10 in China. The handset will be soon available for purchase in the coming days. The device is expected to carry a price tag of ¥2,299.

As per the phone’s TENAA certification, it is a tweaked version of yet another China Telecom-exclusive smartphone called NZONE S7 Pro, which went official at the end of June.

The highlights of Maimang 10 include a 6.6-inch HD+ 90Hz display with a punch-hole, MediaTek Dimensity 720 chipset, 40MP + 20MP + 2MP triple rear camera setup, 16MP front-facing camera, 4,900mAh battery, 40W fast charging, 8.4mm thickness, and 179g weight.

The only major differences between the NZONE S7 Pro and the Maimag 10 are the camera setup and battery. The former features a 64MP main sensor paired with an 8MP secondary sensor and a  4,000mAh battery.

Unfortunately, we couldn’t find the official renders of the handset. Even WHYLAB did not share it. This suggests that China Telecom might have announced the device internally.

In order to have a good look at the phone’s design, we will have to wait until the smartphone gets listed online for pre-orders or sale. Until then, all we got are the low-quality images by TENAA.
