huawei has been reportedly working on a device with dual cameras on both its front and rear panels since 2016. At first, it was assumed that their Honor 9 might come with this feature, but no such thing took place. The latest leak by an unidentified Weibo users now suggests that the firm is back on this project again. If this turns out to be true, this will be the first Huawei smartphone to pack the Dual Camera feature on both front and rear panels.
The company is working on the phone codenamed 'Rhone'
The company is apparently working on a completely refreshed line up, which has been showing up online with code-name, “Rhone.” The reports prevailing online hadn’t provided any clear information on it until now.
Rhone’s primary selling point is going to be its dual camera setup, appearing on both – its front and rear panels. According to a report by Android Soul, the smartphone will fall in the mid-range category as it is expected to be powered by Kirin 659 processor. The handset will be home to a decent 3,240mAh battery. Since Google in August has already rolled out Oreo for use, it is assumed that all of future Huawei smartphones will have this software update onboard.
Company's upcoming flagship smartphone
As noted by Android Headlines, Huawei is currently busy preparing for the official unveiling of Mate 10 and Mate 10 Pro. The company is going to introduce it at an event in New York on October 16.
Both the smartphones will pack up the latest Kirin 970 processor. On the one hand, Mate 10 Pro will feature a 5.99-inch IPS LCD with 2,880 x 1,440 pixels resolution, and an aspect ratio of 18:9. At the same time, Mate 10 will feature 5.88-inch IPS LCD but with 2,560 x 1,440 pixels resolution and an aspect ratio of 16:9. On the storage front, the handset is expected to offer 4GB of RAM along with 64GB of inbuilt storage, whereas Mate 10 Pro will offer 6GB of RAM along with 64GB of inbuilt memory.
Huawei is releasing Mate 10 in the US as iPhone 8's competitor.
The smartphone is going to include a dual rear camera with a 12-megapixel and a 20-megapixel sensor, powered by Leica camera technology. The same will appear on Mate 10, but with a minor downgrade in its camera. Both will feature Android Oreo out-of-the-box, with EMUI 6.0 skin on top. Huawei CEO, Richard Yu threw open a challenge to Apple, stating that its Mate 10 series will be able to take on iPhone 8 easily. Let’s see if that turns out to be true.
