14 DAY TRIAL // Huawei is currently working on a new device that should debut quite soon. We know this because Huawei Mate S2 has just hit TENAA, and some specs and images of the upcoming smartphone have been revealed. Besides, the company released Maimang 5 smartphone in China just recently.
Huawei Mate S2 has just passed through Chinese telecommunications certification center TENAA, and some of its specs have been revealed, according to Phone Radar. The phone will come with a 5.5-inch display and pack Kirin 960 octa-core chipset, running at 2.6GHz coupled with 4GB of RAM. It will also hide a Mali T880 graphics processing unit inside.
What's more, the Mate S2 will sport a 16MP rear camera and an 8MP unit on the front. It will draw power from a 3,500mAh battery and run Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow with Huawei's latest EMUI interface on top. The images on TENAA show the smartphone will have a design similar to that of Nexus 6P, with rounded edges.
However, it lacks front-facing speakers, and the power button is located below the volume rocker, as compared to above on Google's handset. The phone also seems to come with a round fingerprint scanner located on the upper center section of the body.
Huawei Mate S2 could be announced on September 1
The Mate S2 could come with Force Touch technology, just like the one found on the Mate S smartphone released last year. The device had a 5.5-inch AMOLED display with 1080p resolution and packed a 64-bit octa-core HiSilion Kirin 935 processor clocked at 2.2GHz and 3GB of RAM. It featured a 13MP rear camera and an 8MP unit on the front, as well as a 2,700mAh battery.
Force Touch allowed users to complete various actions, since the display perceived different levels of pressure on the screen. Users could launch applications by simply applying pressure on the display.
Just recently, Huawei released the Honor 8 in the US after launching the smartphone last month in China. Huawei could announce the new Mate S2 on September 1, before the IFA event in Berlin.
