Huawei Nova 4 With Camera Cutout Leaked

Huawei has been unclear about the launch of the Nova 4 but it seems that the leaks just won’t stop. The Nova 4 made an appearance recently at the Nova series’ brand ambassador’s party. Chinese singer and member of musical pop group TFBoys, Jackson Yee had thrown a grand birthday party. It was for his eighteenth birthday. The Nova 4 was spotted in his hand in the event when he showed it on stage. The event was incidentally live streamed as well.

What we know so far

The Nova 4 was rumoured to have an in display camera hole which has become somewhat of a trend for smartphone manufacturers to be leaking. Samsung recently showcased renders of a camera cutout design called the Infinity O.Some devices such as the Vivo NEX and Oppo Find X have gone their own ways to make the screen truly notch free but the camera hole concept also seems to have caught on with manufacturers. The leaked images prove that the Nova 4 indeed will have a camera cutout. It can be seen in the images that the hole is tucked away in the corner of the screen, in line with the battery and network icons on top. The design seems to be far less intrusive compared to a traditional or even a teardrop notch.

As can be seen from the photographs, it seems like the phone has large bezels but on closer inspection, we could see the bezel is actually the back cover of the phone. The back of the phone wasn’t shown on the video so that still remains a surprise. There is very little information regarding the soon to be launched Huawei Nova 4. From what we know so far, according to rumours it is believed to have an LCD display and a Kirin 980 processor. There are no specific launch dates as of now. However it will be launched sometime in December of this year.

The smartphone is likely to house a triple lens primary camera setup with RGB + wide angle + telephoto lens combination. On to the front, the smartphone is likely to have dual camera setup. In fact, the dual front-facing camera can aid the facial recognition system as well.

Huawei P20 With A Notch

Conclusion

The Huawei P20 Pro looks like a right successor to the Huawei P10 with improvements like the modern taller display with a notch, triple primary camera setup, and an AI-based chipset. Considering the aggressive pricing by Huawei and Honor in the recent past, it will interesting to see the price of the Huawei P20 Pro.

Huawei P20 Lite Images With iPhone X-Like Notch Leaked

At MWC 2018, Huawei was expected to launch the Huawei P20 Lite and save the other two devices for the March event. However, it only launched its MateBook X Pro and MediaPad M5 . This means that on the 27th of March, the company will unveil three smartphones out of which, the P20 Plus will have a triple-camera setup.

A few days ago, 360-degree renders of the P20 Lite were leaked by OnLeaks. However, live images of the smartphone have now been leaked by another popular leaker on Twitter, Evan Blass. As expected, P20 Lite will follow the footsteps of many Android phones unveiled at MWC 2018. It will have an iPhone X-like notch on the display which will house the earpiece, sensors and front camera.

Previous P20 Lite Leaked Images

On the back of the smartphone are a few decisions reminiscent of the iPhone X as well. The dual-camera setup is placed vertically and resembles that of the iPhone X. However, unlike the iPhone X, the LED flash is placed below the camera module, instead of between the two cameras. The fingerprint sensor is placed in the centre, which many missed on the iPhone X. The smartphone has a matte finish possibly made of aluminium.

Specifications

With bezels getting thinner, the standard size of a smartphone has increased from 5.5 inches to 6 inches. However, that won’t be the case with the Huawei P20 Lite. It is expected to have a 5.6 inch display with a 2160 x 1080 px resolution. Expect the resolution to be a little different, because of the notch.

Under the hood, it will have the HiSilicon Kirin 659 chipset, also found on the likes of the Honor 7X and even Honor 9 Lite. This will be paired with either 4GB or 6GB of RAM and 64GB of onboard storage. Powering the smartphone will be a 3520 mAh battery and it will run Android 8 Oreo out of the box. However, the smartphone will have Huawei’s EMUI on top as well.

Huawei P20 Lite Listed on TENAA

Huawei is expected to launch the Huawei P20 and Huawei P20 LitePlus at a launch event in Paris in March 2018. However, the P20 Lite will be launched at MWC 2018. A smartphone has been listed on the TENNA website which could possibly be the Huawei P20 Lite.

Two smartphones were listed on TENAA with a slightly different model number EML-AL00 and EML-TL00. These models could be two variants of the same smartphone, the P20 Lite. As is with a lot of TENNA listings, there are not many details mentioned in this listing as well.

Details of the listed smartphone:

Huawei P20 Lite Leaked Image

The listed smartphone comes with a metal unibody design with a Huawei logo at the bottom. The smartphone also has a dual camera setup with Leica branding. The Leica branding is reserved for the Mate and P series smartphones from the company, this might suggest that the leaked smartphone is indeed a Huawei P20 Lite.

The listed smartphone even has an Apple iPhone X like notch, which might house the necessary sensors for Face Unlock. However, it might just have a dual front-facing camera like the Honor 9 Lite.

The smartphone is expected to be powered by Huawei’s in-house HiSilicon Kirin 970 Octa-core chipset with at least 4GB RAM and 64GB storage. The device is expected to offer Android 8.1 Oreo out of the box with EMUI skin on the top.

Conclusion:

The Huawei P20 Lite will be one of the three smartphones that the company will launch in a space of one month. While the company’s own facial recognition technology seems interesting, the smartphone’s design will be a huge talking month. However, if Huawei does come up with Face Unlock for the P20 Lite, the notch would seem justified.

Huawei Enjoy 8 With A Dual Camera Setup Listed On TENAA

Huawei is likely to launch a new entry-level smartphone named Huawei Enjoy 8, which is currently listed on TENAA. The specifications of the smartphone almost match with the recently listed Honor 7C. In fact, the differences between the Honor 7C and the Huawei Enjoy 8 are very negligible. The Huawei Enjoy 8 will be the successor of the Huawei Enjoy 7, which was launched in China. Interestingly, the company did launch a special KFC edition of the Huawei Enjoy 7 in the US.

The device is listed in two parts, one with the model number LND-TL10 which comes with 32GB storage and the other model listed under the model number LND-AL20, which comes with 64GB storage.

The only difference between the Honor 7C and the Huawei Enjoy 8 is the build quality. The Honor 7C offers a metallic design, whereas the Huawei Enjoy 8 might have a plastic unibody design. However, the plastic build quality does appear to be of metallic finish for the untrained eyes.

Specifications:

The Honor 7C has a FullView 5.99-inch 1440 x 720p IPS LCD display, with 2.5D curved tempered glass protection. Under the hood, the smartphone is powered by an unknown Oct-core chipset with 1.4 GHz base frequency.

The device has a main dual camera setup with 13 MP + 20 MP sensors, with an 8 MP front-facing camera. The Honor 7C will be powered by Android 8 Oreo with custom EMUI 8 skin on the top. Finally, the phone packs in a 2900 mAh Li-ion battery.

Conclusion:

The Ejoy series have been exclusive for the Chinese and Europian markets. So, the Huawei Enjoy 8 might be a China exclusive model. However, it could be launched in India under a different moniker.

It has been confirmed that Huawei will be attending MWC 2018. It is rumoured to announce the Huawei P11/P20 Lite at the event. The marquee launch of the P11/P20 and P11/20 Plus will happen on March 27th. However, it looks like the P20 Lite isn’t the only phone it will launch at MWC 2018. A new leak has revealed that the company might launch the Honor 8 Pro with Huawei branding.

Evan Blass, a popular tipster posted images of the Huawei 8 Pro on Twitter. The device looks exactly like the Honor 8 Pro with thin bezels on the side. The top and bottom bezels are thinner which means that it will have an 18:9 aspect ratio. The Honor 8 Pro, at the time of its launch, had relatively thinner bezels than its competitors with a 16:9 aspect ratio. The images reveal that the LED flash will have a different position this time around.

If Huawei does launch the Honor 8 Pro has a Huawei device, it will have to have a competitive price. The Honor 8 Pro is more than a year old and if priced under Rs. 20,000 it could be a great device.

Honor 8 Pro Specifications

The device has 5.7 inch 2560 x 1440 px display which is ideal for media consumption via VR.

[amazon_link asins=’B01N4FMUFH’ template=’ProductAd’ store=’igyaan-21′ marketplace=’IN’ link_id=’e9005d1d-07ff-11e8-8dc5-8f27400e8a2c’]The Honor 8 Pro runs on the Kirin 960 chipset which is an octa-core chip – four high-performance Cortex A73 cores clocked at 2.4GHz and four low-power Cortex A53 cores clocked at 1.8Ghz. The Honor 8 Pro has 128 GB of storage along with 6GB of RAM.

The phone also has a large 4000 mAh battery and fast charge capabilities, with long battery modes built into Honor’s user interface.

The camera setup consists of two cameras, 12+12 MP shooters, where one is a monochrome camera while the other is RGB. The smartphone can combine the aperture to deliver an extremely wide f/0.95. The Phone also shoots 4K video at 30fps. The front camera is an 8 MP shooter with an f/2.0 aperture and capable of 1920 x 1080p video.

Conclusion

If true, it appears to be a baffling move by Huawei. However, there are chances that Huawei will launch an upgraded version of the Honor 8 Pro. The company has been very competitive when it comes to pricing. Similar strategy is expected with the Huawei 8 Pro.

Images Of Huawei P11 Lite With iPhone X-Like Leaked

Huawei will be launching a smartphone at MWC 2018. After some speculation that the company would skip the event, it confirmed its presence. However, it also confirmed a launch event for March 27. At MWC 2018, the company is expected to launch the Huawei P11/P20 Lite while the March 27 event will see the unveiling of the Huawei P20 and P20 Plus.

A few days ago, renders of the Huawei P11/P20 Lite were leaked by a popular tipster on Twitter. And now, live images of the device have been leaked by FCC. The leaked images confirm what has been rumoured for a while now. The Huawei P11/P20 Lite will have a lot of similarities with the Apple iPhone X.

On the front, it will have an iPhone X-style notch that will house the earpiece and front-camera. On the back, Huawei P11/P20 Lite will have a vertically placed dual-camera setup. The position of the camera module is uncannily similar to the iPhone X. It even protrudes a bit, just like the iPhone X. The LED flash is placed below the cameras, while it is placed between the two cameras on the iPhone X.

The fingerprint sensor will be placed on the back. Therefore, we might have to wait until the end of the year for a Huawei phone with Clear ID. The device also appears to have an all-glass build with an aluminium frame.

Expected Specifications

With bezels getting thinner, the standard size of a smartphone has increased from 5.5 inches to 6 inches. The Huawei P11 Lite is expected to have a 6 inch display with a 2880 x 1440 px resolution. Just like the Mate 10, Huawei could use an OLED panel as well. As seen in the renders, the corners are curved which means an OLED panel is expected on the Huawei P11 Lite as well.

Under the hood, it will have the HiSilicon Kirin 970 chipset along with 6GB or 8GB of RAM. The fingerprint sensor will be placed on the back of the phone. While the smartphone is expected to be thin, it is expected to house a big battery that will support SuperCharge

The MWC 2018 event isn’t too far away. Hence, we are expected to see frequent leaks of devices that are expected to be launched in the coming days.

Huawei P11 Lite Leaked In Live Images

It looks like after a period of silence, Huawei leaks have started in full swing. Only yesterday, Huawei P11 Lite was leaked in 360º renders by a popular tipster on Twitter. It has been rumoured that the Huawei P11 Lite will be launched at MWC 2018 while the Huawei P11 will be launched at a special event on 27th of March.

Right after the renders were leaked, new images of the Huawei P11 out and about in the wild have surfaced. The images show the exact design of the device that was leaked in renders and has a couple of interesting features. For starters, it has an iPhone X-like notch on the top of the display. A notch on top seems to be catching on as a trend since even Mi Mix 2S could have a slight notch if and when it is launched.

Leaked Renders

While initially, it looked like the notch will house all the hardware necessary for Huawei’s facial recognition, this doesn’t seem like the case now. In all probability, the Huawei P11 Lite will have a dual-camera setup on the front which will have some sort of Face Unlock feature. The notch is expected to house the two cameras along with sensors and an earpiece.

To the back of the smartphone is a dual-camera setup that looks similar to the iPhone X. This setup is expected to consist of an RGB sensor and a monochrome sensor, similar to a lot of other Huawei smartphones. The fingerprint sensor sits on the back which means that it has still not implemented Clear ID.

The Huawei P11 Lite could be powered by the Kirin 970 chipset which means it could have a lot of AI functionalities. However, since it is a “Lite” version, Huawei could go with the Kirin 659 chipset to place the device as a budget smartphone in countries like India.

Leaked: Huawei P11 Lite Renders With iPhone X-Like Notch

Huawei is expected to launch the Huawei P11 Lite (tentatively named) on the 27th of March. While the name is not yet confirmed and it could be named the Huawei P20 Lite as well, new renders reveal the key design elements of the upcoming device. Huawei announced in late-2017 that it was working on its own facial recognition technology gave a glimpse of it in the Honor View10 as well. However, this upcoming device is expected to have the final version which will be secure enough to store passwords and transactions.

Prolific leaker on Twitter has released a 360º render video of the device which reveals a few interesting details. First off, the front of the smartphone has an iPhone X-like notch on the display. While we have seen a lot of iPhone X knock-offs make this move, Huawei is one of the biggest smartphone makers in the world. If it decides to go for a notch, it must have a valid logic behind it.

One reason to go for a notch could be facial recognition. In order to make a secure facial recognition system, Huawei would need more than a front-facing camera and this notch could house all the hardware. This is similar to what Apple did and seems like a good option. The presence of a notch means that we will definitely see Huawei’s much-hyped facial recognition system in play.

If the notch wasn’t enough, the renders also reveal a vertically-placed dual camera setup identical to the iPhone X. However, the LED flash is placed beneath the camera module instead of between the two cameras. So far, Huawei has implemented an RGB+Monochrome dual camera setup and we could see something similar on the Huawei P11 Lite as well.

The front of the device also houses an almost edge-to-edge display with a small chin at the bottom. The device appears to have an all-glass design with a metal frame which means Huawei could also implement wireless charging in their marquee smartphone. This leak quashes the rumours of Huawei introducing a triple-lens setup on its upcoming flagship. We even saw a case renders that were leaked a few days ago.

Probably, the triple-camera setup is reserved for a flagship device that will succeed the Mate 10 Pro or the Huawei P11/P20. While OnLeaks has a great track record of leaking devices, you should always take these renders with a pinch of scepticism. The launch of the smartphone is over a month away and more leaks are expected to follow.

Case Renders Of Huawei P11/P20

Expected Specifications

With bezels getting thinner, the standard size of a smartphone has increased from 5.5 inches to 6 inches. The Huawei P11 Lite is expected to have a 6 inch display with a 2880 x 1440 px resolution. Just like the Mate 10, Huawei could use an OLED panel as well. As seen in the renders, the corners are curved which means an OLED panel is expected on the Huawei P11 Lite as well.

Under the hood, it will have the HiSilicon Kirin 970 chipset along with 6GB or 8GB of RAM.

More specifications of the device are expected to b revealed as we move closer to the official launch.

Huawei P20 Might Have An 18.7:9 Display

Huawei will be launching the next iteration of its flagship ‘P’ lineup, expected to be the Huawei P20. There have been plenty of renders that showcase a straightforward design of the Huawei P20 with thin bezels and a tall display. However, a new leak hints at an unusual screen for the upcoming device which sits somewhere between the Galaxy S8 and the iPhone X.

An HTML compliance benchmark recorded the EML-AL00, which is reported to be one of the P20 variants, will have a 2244 x1080 px resolution. That translates to an aspect ratio of 18.7:9 which between Samsung Galaxy S8’s 18.5:9 ratio and iPhone X’s 19.5:9 aspect ratio. There are also rumours about the Huawei P20 sporting a display notch, much like the iPhone X (or this iPhone X clone).

This benchmark could not figure out if there would be a notch or not since there’s no standardised way for websites to detect that yet. A previous render of the Huawei P20 did not reveal a notch on the display but, it would make sense since the P20 could be the furst device from Huawei to take full advantage of the company’s facial recognition technology.

Similar to the iPhone X, Huawei will have to fit a lot of sensors and new hardware in thin bezels, which might be tough to do so.

Notch On The iPhone X

Recently, a few leaked advertisement designs revealed that an upcoming Huawei device, presumed to be the P11 at that time, will launch with a triple-camera setup on the back. According to the advertisement, the smartphone will have a triple lens rear-facing 40MP camera, 5X hybrid zooming (which uses a digital and optical zoom for better capturing far away objects) and a 24MP front-facing camera.

There is absolutely no word or even a hint that it will be launching the Huawei P20 anytime soon but, with MWC is coming up shortly, we might get a glimpse of what the Huawei P20 will look like.

Renders Of Huawei P20 With Triple-Camera Setup Leaked

Huawei is riding high on the success of its Mate 10 Pro lineup along with the increasing popularity of sub-brand Honor’s Honor 7X and View10. While the company has reiterated that it believes AI and machine learning is the future of smartphones, the upcoming Huawei flagship is poised to be the first of its kind smartphone in the camera department as well.

New renders of the Huawei P20 reveal a triple-camera setup at the back which will be unprecedented for a smartphone if the renders turn out to be true. Along with the astonishing triple-camera setup on the back, the renders reveal extremely thin bezels and a front-facing fingerprint sensor. Honor did that with the Honor View10 as well, fitting a front-facing fingerprint sensor on bezels almost as thin (or thick) as the OnePlus 5T.

There are almost negligible bezels on either side of the display with extremely thin forehead and chin. The smartphone will have a glass build and hopefully this time around, the company will introduce wireless charging as well.

Recently, a few leaked advertisement designs revealed that an upcoming Huawei device, presumed to be the P11 at that time, will launch with a triple-camera setup on the back. According to the advertisement, the smartphone will have a triple lens rear-facing 40MP camera, 5X hybrid zooming (which uses a digital and optical zoom for better capturing far away objects) and a 24MP front-facing camera. The camera will also be co-engineered by Leica, the same company that co-engineered the cameras for the Huawei P10 and Huawei Mate 10.

Considering the HiSilicon Kirin 970 is the best chipset by Huawei available right now, the Huawei P20 will, in all likelihood, will be powered by this chip. The Chinese smartphone maker talked up the AI capabilities of the Kirin 970 chipset and its own facial recognition technology while launching the Mate 10 Pro. While we have seen glimpses of the technology in the Honor View10, the Huawei P20 might be the first device to feature the facial recognition technology in all its glory.

If the company does go ahead with this alleged design, the addition of facial recognition will add more than just convenience. It will add an extra layer of security since the company has claimed that its technology is secure enough for data storage and bank transactions as well, similar to the iPhone X and its Face ID.

While all of this might seem far-fetched, Huawei might surprise us all and give us a glimpse of this smartphone at the ongoing CES 2018 in Las Vegas. Stay tuned for further updates.

The Huawei Enjoy 7S has a 5.65-inch FullView display with a 2160 x 1080 px resolution. Similar to the Honor 7X, the thin bezel at the bottom houses the company logo and the fingerprint sensor is moved the back of the phone.

Honor 7X

Under the hood, the Huawei Enjoy 7S has the HiSilicon Kirin 659 chipset, octa-core processor clocked at 2.3GHz, and Mali-T830 MP2 GPU. In terms of RAM and storage, the Huawei Enjoy 7S has two variants, one with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage and the other with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage.

The Huawei Enjoy 7S runs Android 8.0 Oreo out of the box with EMUI 8 on top.

Huawei P11 To Be Launched At MWC 2018

Huawei launched the Huawei P10 in 2017 at Mobile World Congress, and it appears that its new iteration, the P11 will be launched at MWC in 2018.

So the Huawei P11 seems to be a Q1 2018 thing (again). We were just promised "exciting new products" with a focus on camera and AI for Q1 at a local german Huawei Xmas event. Could be MWC like the P10.

— Roland Quandt (@rquandt) December 15, 2017

A reliable online leakster has also claimed that the Huawei P11 flagship would be debuting in Q1 2018. In addition, he claimed that the company will be focusing more on a stellar camera and AI experience on the upcoming flagship Huawei P11.

There have been a few rumours that have indicated towards a number of functionalities and features of the upcoming Huawei P11. A recent advertisement design was leaked which revealed that an upcoming Huawei phone will have a triple-lens camera at the back. According to the images, the next generation P11 will feature a 40MP Leica triple-lens camera setup with 5x hybrid zoom and a 24MP front-facing sensor.

Huawei announced its new facial recognition technology and claimed that it is faster and more accurate than Apple’s Face ID. While it did not reveal which smartphone will be the first one to feature this technology, many speculate that the Huawei P11 might be the first phone to come with Huawei’s own rendition of Face ID and the famous animojis.

There are rumours that just the iPhone X, Huawei P11 will also have a notch at the top of the display to house all the sensors required for facial recognition.

The tweet also suggests that Huawei will concentrate on AI this time around. The P11 will, in probability, have the the Kirin 970 chipset that has a dedicated neural processing unit (NPU). The P11 may arrive with more AI capabilities than the Mate 10 smartphones which were launched in October.

iPhone X Notch Will Come To Huawei P11 Suggest Leaks

The notch on the iPhone X has divided opinions ever since it was unveiled back in September. Now, it appears that Huawei is ready to embrace the notch life as well with its next flagship phone. XDA Developers took a look at some firmware files acquired by FunkyHuawei and re-created an overlay image that was found in the files.

The resulting image shows a cross-over of iPhone X’s and Essential Phone’s notch which will house the front-facing camera, sensors and ear-piece. This also might be the result of Huawei’s latest facial recognition technology, which it claims is better and faster than Apple’s Face ID. back in 2016, Huawei launched the Honor Magic which had Face ID-like features long before Apple launched the iPhone X.

It used the IR sensor in the phone to scan the face of the user and similar to what Face ID does now, it had a feature of displaying notifications on the lock screen only if the phone recognised the face. So, it is possible that Huawei has improved that technology and with AI being an integral part of Kirin 970 chipset, we might see a Face ID competitor very soon.

The files also pointed to a certain level of inconsistency in the phone’s screen resolution. Even though a configuration file revealed that the phone will have a 6.01-inch 2160 x 1080 px LCD display, other files indicate the same-sized screen with a 2244 x 1080 px resolution. That discrepancy might have something to do with the notch, with the higher resolution probably reserved for apps that take advantage of that space.

Notch on the iPhone X

It is likely that the device in question is the Huawei P11. Recently, an advertisement leak revealed that an upcoming Huawei phone will have a triple-lens 40MP camera co-engineered by Leica.

If this device is indeed the Huawei P11, then it might be launched at next year’s Mobile World Congress which will happen in late February.

Huawei Nova 2s Launched

Huawei has launched the new Huawei Nova 2s at an event in China. The Huawei Nova 2s will be available in two variants, 4GB RAM variant at CNY 2,699 (roughly Rs. 26,300) and 6GB RAM variant at CNY 2,999 (Rs. 29,300). Huawei has also released a special edition ‘Yixing Zhang’ variant of the phone priced at CNY 3,399 (roughly Rs. 33,100).

The Huawei Nova 2s has a 6-inch display with a 2160 x 1080 px display which translates to an 18:9 aspect ratio and a 402ppi.

Under the hood, the Huawei Nova 2s has the HiSilicon Kirin 960 chipset, Mali-G71 MP8 GPU, 4GB or 6GB of RAM, and 128GB of onboard storage which will be expandable via microSD card.
