Huawei's sub-brand, Honor, might soon launch a new high-end smartphone, which is expected to be the successor for the current Honor 9. The Honor 10 could come in the new Twilight colour variant, which was previously seen on the Huawei P20 Pro. The company has reportedly sent out invites for it’s upcoming event on May 15 and ahead of the smartphone’s launch, a promo poster of it has leaked out giving a look at the rear panel.
The Honor 10 is seen featuring a horizontally placed rear camera setup and the poster states that it comes with a glass rear panel, which suggests that it could support wireless charging as well. There is also no fingerprint sensor on the rear, which could mean that the device either sports a front facing fingerprint reader or relies on face recognition. In terms of hardware, the smartphone is rumoured to be powered by the Kirin 970 SoC with 6GB RAM and 128GB internal storage. It might feature a 5.99-inch full HD+ display with a taller 18:9 display aspect ratio.
The highlight of the upcoming smartphone is believed to be the dual-rear camera setup. It is speculated to feature a 16MP RGB sensor with f/1.8 aperture and a 20MP Monochrome sensor. On the front, it might sport a 13MP front-facing camera with Intelligent Portrait Recognition.
