Well this looks like a good plot twist, don’t you think? According to well known leakster Evan Blass (a.k.a @evleaks), the most awaited quad camera Maimang 6 model from Huawei is expected to arrive in the market bearing the name Huawei Mate 10 Lite.
This is truly a shift in Huawei’s strategy as the previous Maimang 5 model was launched as Huawei G9 Plus, but this time things are not that simple, as the new Maimang 6 model is not just an upgrade of the old one, but a whole new device: it has four cameras in total, and it will be the first Huawei phone with an 18:9 display and near bezel-less front.
