14 DAY TRIAL // Huawei is expected to reveal its newest smartphone, the Honor 8, next month, and it seems that new information points to the fact that the device will see the light of day on July 11, not July 5, as previously expected.
A new teaser image has surfaced online, and by the looks of it, company executives have confirmed the launch date for July 11, according to GizmoChina. The event will be held at the Shanghai Oriental Sports Center in China, at 6.30PM local hour.
Huawei's Honor 8 will be the successor to last year's Honor 7, which was quite successful and was released to many markets. The smartphone had a 5.2-inch display with a 1080p resolution and packed a 2.2GHz octa-core HiSilicon Kirin 935 processor inside. It also came with a Mali-T628 MP4 graphics processing unit and 3GB of RAM. Rear camera capacity reached 20MP, with dual-tone LED flash and video recording being offered as well.

The teaser also brings us some information on the specs for the upcoming Honor 8, while also showing that the device will have dual cameras. You might recall that Huawei's Honor 8 recently passed through TENAA, and some of its specs were revealed on that occasion.
It will thus come with a Kirin 950 octa-core processor and 4GB of RAM, together with a 5.2-inch display capable of 1080p resolution. The smartphone is also expected to run Android Marshmallow 6.0 and draw power from a 2,900mAh battery. Also worth knowing is that Honor 8 should have a fingerprint sensor on the back.
The dual cameras on the back are said to have a capacity of 12MP, with a front-facing 8MP unit also provided. Huawei Honor 8 should come in multiple variants, depending on the storage and RAM capacity. Versions include one with 3GB of RAM and 32GB internal storage, one with 4GB of RAM and 32GB of memory, and another with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage, which will be pricier.
