Huawei has been a solid player in the lucrative smartphone industry - that the big leagues such as Samsung, Apple and LG might have to watch out. The Chinese handset manufacturing giant had been launching supercharged smartphones as of late, and it's a clear sign that Nexus 6P is just the start of it. In recent news, Huawei might be teasing its latest flagship, the Mate 8, to further capitalize on its success.
A new teaser has surfaced online containing the number '8' and a release date of Nov. 11 of this year. This points out to several reports that have suggested Huawei will be releasing their latest flagship before the year ends, coinciding with the date that is included in the teaser.
Huawei is also ready to unleash its top of the line chipset. The Kirin 950 is pegged for a Nov. 5 release, which makes it only a couple of days before the Chinese handset manufacturer officially makes the announcement. Also, it's important to note that Huawei may be equipping the Kirin 950 into the Mate 8, so users might be able to see some benchmarks of the chipset on the following weeks with the company's latest flagship.
As for the details and the hardware specifications, Huawei Mate 8 will reportedly feature a six-inch display with 1440p resolution. Storage options come in 32 GB and 64 GB, while memory options come in 3 GB and 4 GB variants. As for its photography prowess, the Mate 8 will be featuring a 13 MP primary shooter and an 8 MP selfie snapper. It will also have a SIM card tray that is capable of supporting dual SIM cards and a microSD card, which might be similar to the setup of its predecessor.
As for the price, Huawei will be shipping Mate 8 at a starting price of USD $520, while the variant with 4 GB of RAM is reportedly to come with a much bigger price tag at USD $610.
