Tomorrow, Huawei will be announcing the Maimang 8 smartphone in China. Ahead of the launch, the entire specifications of the phone have surfaced. The leak reveals that it is a rebranded version of the P Smart+ 2019 smartphone that was introduced in March for global markets. The handset will be arriving as the successor for the Maimang 7 smartphone from last year.

Huawei Maimang 8 Specifications

The Huawei Maimang 8 will be featuring a 6.21-inch IPS LCD display with a waterdrop notch. It is expected to deliver full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2340 pixels and a tall aspect ratio of 19.5:9. The Kirin 710 chipset that includes a 2.2GHz octa-core processor may power the phone.

The P Smart+ 2019 came with 3 GB of RAM and 64 GB of native storage. The Maimang 8 will be a bit advanced model since the company has already confirmed that it will be arriving with 6 GB of RAM and an inbuilt storage of 128 GB. For more storage, the handset will be equipped with a microSD card slot. The EMUI 9 based Android 9 Pie OS will come preloaded on the device.

As of this writing, there is no information on the specifications of the Huawei Maimang 8. Interestingly, the P Smart+ 2019 that was unveiled for the global audience was made available in China as Huawei Enjoy 9s. Hence, Maimang 8 may end up as an advanced version of the Enjoy 9s in the home market. As of this writing, there is no information available on the pricing of the phone. The Enjoy 9s variants such as 4 GB RAM + 64 GB storage and 4 GB RAM + 128 GB storage are respectively priced at 1,499 Yuan (~$217) and 1,699 Yuan (~$246). Hence, the Maimang 8 may carry a price tag of around 1,899 Yuan (~$275).

It has been a year since Huawei announced the Maimang 6 in China. So it comes as no surprise when it announced today the launch date for the Maimang 7. According to the official poster, the Maimang 7 will be unveiled on September 12 but that isn’t the only thing the poster revealed.

Huawei isn’t hiding anything with respect to the phone’s design as all the angles of the phone are shown on the poster. This isn’t surprising since the Maimang 7 is actually the same device as the Mate 20 Lite which is already official.

The Maimang 7 has a notched display and curved glass on the back. Just like its predecessor, the phone also has dual cameras on each side. The dual rear cameras are arranged vertically and are in line with the fingerprint scanner.

The arrival of the Huawei Mate 20 Lite seems to be close at hand. It is pegged to get announced ahead of the Mate 20 and Mate 20 Pro flagship that are likely to go official in October. Earlier this week, popular tipster Roland Quandt had shared renders of the black and gold variants of the Mate 20 Lite. Evan Blass too has shared a fresh that shows all the three color variants of the Mate 20 Lite.

As it can be seen in the below tweet, the Huawei Mate 20 Lite will be arriving in colors like black, gold and blue. Last year, Huawei had launched the Mate 10 Lite with two selfie snappers and dual rear cameras. The upcoming Mate 20 Lite also features quad cameras. As far as the front appearance of the phone is concerned, it sports a notched display design. This indicates that Mate 20 and Mate 20 Pro which belongs to the same series will be also arriving with the same design.

Both the sides of the display of Mate 20 Lite are flanked with slim bezels whereas the bezel present on the bottom of the screen is slightly thick. The company is yet to confirm on the launch date of Mate 20 Lite. However, there is a possibility that the handset may debut on Sept. 15 which is mentioned on the display in the above render. The front side of the phone is similar to the Huawei P20 series, but its rear design is quite different. The back panel of the Mate 20 Lite features a vertical dual camera and a fingerprint scanner.

The specifications of the Huawei Mate 20 Lite have been already revealed through its TENAA listing. The handset will be launching first in China as Maimang 7.

The TENAA listing of the Mate 20 Lite reveals that it features 19:9 display of 6.3 inches, Kirin 710 SoC, 6 GB of RAM and 3,650mAh battery.

Yesterday, the images of the Huawei Maimang 7 had appeared on TENAA, the telecom regulatory body from China. Today, the TENAA listing of the smartphone has been updated with its entire specifications. A recent report has revealed that Huawei has shipped more number of notched display smartphones than any other phone brand in the world. The Maimang 7 which is expected to land in European markets as Mate 20 Lite is yet another smartphone with notched display.

The Maimang 7 that has a model number of SNE-AL00 measures 158.3 x 75.3 x 7.6mm and it weighs 172 grams. The TENAA listing states that apart from black, there is no other color variant of the Maimang 7 smartphone. The handset houses a 6.3-inch IPS LCD display that produces Full HD+ resolution 2340 x 1080 pixels. It means that the display will offer an aspect ratio of 19:9. The wide notch of the phone houses two front-facing cameras.

The SNE-AL00 is fueled by 2.2 GHz octa-core processor which suggests that it could be the second phone from the company to feature the Kirin 710 SoC. It is packed with 3,650mAh battery. The handset is preinstalled with Android 8.1.0 Oreo.

The SoC is coupled with 6 GB of RAM. It includes 64 GB of internal storage. Since “not support” is mentioned for external storage, it seems that the smartphone won’t be carrying support for adding a microSD card. For photography, the Maimang 7 features 20-megapixel + 2-megapixel rear-mounted dual camera and its frontside features 24-megapixel + 2-mgapixel dual camera.

The Maimang 6 that was rolled out as Mate 10 Lite in other regions had featured an aluminum body. The Maimang 7 seems to be featuring a glass build on the rear. Below the vertical dual camera, there is a fingerprint scanner. The appearance of the back panel of the phone is similar to Porsche Design Mate 10. Now that the Maimang 6 has been certified in China, it may go official soon. There is a possibility that the Mate 20 Lite may go official by September as the October launch event could be only meant for announcing Mate 20 and Mate 20 Pro smartphones. Since Mate 20 Lite has a notched screen, it is likely that the Mate 20 and 20 Pro smartphones may also feature the same display design.

Last year, Huawei had launched Maimang 6 smartphone. The very same phone was made available as Mate 10 Lite in European markets. The Mate 10 Lite / Maimang 6 was launched ahead of the Mate 10 series that was unveiled in October 2017. Today, the Maimang 7 has appeared on TENAA with its images. However, the TENAA listing of the smartphone is yet to be populated with its entire specifications. It is very likely that the Maimang 7 will be arriving in the European markets as Mate 20 Lite. Now that the handset has appeared on the website of the Chinese telecom regulatory body, there is a possibility that the company may launch the Maimang 7 soon in China.

A new Huawei phone that has a model number of SNE-AL00 has appeared on TENAA. It was recently revealed that model numbers such as SNE-AL00, SN-AL00B, SNE-LX1, SNE-LX2, SNE-LX3 and SNE-TL00 all belong to the upcoming Mate 20 Lite. As mentioned above, the SNE-AL00 could be landing in China as Maimang 7.

The front image of the smartphone does not clearly reveal whether the Maimang 7 will be featuring a notched display or not. However, the handset seems to be fitted with dual front cameras. The layout of the camera sensors suggest that the Maimang 7 may feature a notched display. If the Mate 20 Lite arrives with a notched screen, there is a possibility that the Mate 20 and Mate 20 Pro may feature the same kind of display.

A recent report has claimed that because of the presence of 3D structured light module, the Mate 20 and Mate 20 Pro could be equipped with notched screens. The rear side of the Maimang 7 which seems to be made out of glass features a vertically arranged dual camera system. Below it is a fingerprint scanner. There is a Maimang logo at the bottom portion on the back panel which confirms the identity of the smartphone. The appearance of the rear panel of Maimang 6 is similar to Mate 10 Porsche Design smartphone.

The Kirin 659 had powered the Maimang 6. Hence, it is very likely that the Kirin 710 may power the Maimang 7. Like the Mate 20 and Mate 20 series, it may also run on EMIU 9 based Android 9.0 P. Last year, the Maimang was released on Sept. 22 in China. Hence, there is a possibility that the company may announce the Maimang 7 by the end of this month or early September.
