Chinese manufacturer, Huawei, is still developing smartphones despite the ban from the U.S. To reduce the effect of the ban, the company had to sell its Honor sub-brand. However, Honor inherits Huawei’s R&D team, this means that they will have a lot of similarities for the next few years. Today, the latest leak from Honor appeared online. The rear of the leak image appears like the Honor 50. In a recent Weibo post, @weiweilai exposed an image of an upcoming smartphone. The rear camera design of this device looks like the previous leak of the Honor 50. However, this is also the same design that the Huawei nova 9 uses.
To get the image of the phone, there was need for some serious zooming. Thus, the final output is blurry and most of the details are gone. We can just make out the outline of the dual rear camera design and the LED flash. There is also something line a ring surrounding the main camera of this device.
