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.

Smartphone manufacturers have increasingly focused on branding their technologies, in order to set it apart from competitors. Remember how Apple’s Retina display was a big deal a few years back? Samsung Galaxy S8 with its “Infinity Display” and LG G6 with its “Full Vision Display” made the headlines in 2017 with its unusual screen aspect ratio. Now, it looks like Huawei is all set to follow suit with its own branding “EntireView Display”.

A Dutch website spotted a trademark application at the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) by Huawei for the word, “Entireview Display”. Unfortunately, the trademark application doesn’t come with an image, so we are not sure how this new display will look like.

However, judging from the previously leaked renders and the word applied for the trademark, Huawei could likely release the Mate 10 with an all screen display, similar to what we saw on the Galaxy S8. The application is still under review but it would most likely be approved sometime before the launch of the Mate 10 flagship.

According to previous information, the Huawei Mate 10 and Mate 10 Lite models are expected to be announced on October 16. The Mate 10 is said to be priced upwards of $1000, featuring top-end specs like Kirin 970 based on 10nm process and an all screen 6.1-inch 2160 x 1080p display. The smaller 5.8-inch Mate 10 Lite model is said to cater to the needs of the regular customers, with lower specs and a cheaper price tag.
