Huawei has a pretty busy agenda for Q1 2016, as the Chinese handset maker already launch its highly-popular Honor 5X mid-range smartphone in the United States and Europe.

But that's not the only device that will make it to Europe these days. Huawei Honor 7 Premium Edition will land in European countries very soon, AndroidCentral reports.

Unlike the Honor 5X, this one packs Huawei homebrew Kirin 935 chipset, which accommodates eight cores and a Mali-T628 MP4 graphics processing unit.

Some of you might not recall that the standard Honor 7 was launched back in July 2015 and it's already available for purchase in Europe, as well as other regions. However, the enhanced model comes with a little bit more storage and a newer Android version.

According to Huawei, the Honor 7 Premium Edition will be available in Europe in two distinct colors: golden and mystery grey. Unfortunately, no information on price and availability has been shared yet.

Even though the Chinese company did not list all the phone's specs during the Huawei Honor 5X launch event, it did say that Honor 7 Premium Edition would pack 32GB of internal memory.

Also, the smartphone will ship with Android 6.0 Marshmallow operating system right out of the box, unlike the standard model that runs Android 5.0 Lollipop.

Hybrid dual-SIM and fast charging battery

It's possible that the rest of the phone's specs remain the same, so Huawei Honor 7 Premium Edition should sport a 5.2-inch IPS capacitive touchscreen with full HD (1080p) resolution and Corning Gorilla Glass 3 coating.

Even though it comes with 32GB internal memory, the Honor 7 Premium Edition will definitely include microSD card slot for memory expansion (up to 128GB). The standard model features hybrid dual-SIM, so the enhanced version might benefit from the same function.

The Premium Edition is likely to boast an impressive 20-megapixel rear-facing shutter with dual-LED flash and phase detection autofocus, as well as a secondary 8-megapixel selfie camera.

Huawei also confirmed the high-end smartphone would come with a fast charger in the package, which should help the 3,100 mAh battery charge quicker.
