Huawei Maimang 6 (Mate 10 Lite) is now official with 4 cameras, FHD+ display, and more
Earlier this week news of a new Huawei smartphone hit the ground running after leaked images of an alleged Huawei Mate 10 Lite popped up online. Accompanying the leaked photos were some interesting hardware details, most notably the phone’s 4 — count them — 4 cameras.
It sounds excessive, but they’re basically using the same dual camera setup you find on the back of most devices these days, along with a similar setup on the front probably used to achieve a portrait like, shallow depth of field effect. After leaking in photos — and video — that phone is now being made official in China, where it’s launching under the name Huawei Maimang 6.
The Maimang 6 — which will likely launch outside of China as the Mate 10 Lite — comes equipped with dual 16MP/2MP cameras on rear, and a 13MP/2MP on the front of the device. The phone’s display will have an 18:9 aspect ratio and inside there’s 4GB of RAM, a 3,340mAh battery, and it’ll come running Android 7.0 Nougat + EMUI 5.1. Here’s the full spec sheet for those interested:
