While Huawei is preparing to launch their P10 series soon, Honor on the other hand is also busy with their own thing, with a plan to release a new device on 21 February 2017 in China. An official poster was seen in Weibo and the device called the Honor V9 is planned to be held in Beijing.

China's TENAA recently listed the honor V8 Max which has the standout feature of a 6.6-inch 2K AMOLED display, making this the more likely smartphone for VR viewing that Huawei's Richard Yu changed his mind on. Other tech specs are not nearly as higher-end as the actual honor V8 as the V8 Max only has a single 13MP rear camera. However, other tech specs remain the same like the Kirin 950 processor, 3GB RAM, 32GB storage and fingerprint sensor.

It looks like the Kirin 650 powered Huawei honor 5C could be coming to Malaysia as soon as next month. Previously announced in China for about $138 (around RM537) the rumour comes courtesy of a dependable source in honor Malaysia. Here's the honor 5C tech specs for a refresher:

• Kirin 650 octa-core chipset + Mali-T830 MP2 GPU
• 2GB RAM
• 16GB internal storage (expandable memory available)
• 5.2-inch 1080p display
• 16MP rear camera + 8MP front facing shooter
• Fingerprint 2.0, Huawei Pay
• Supports Cat. 6 LTE network connectivity
• Android Marshmallow 6.0 with EMUI 4.1
• 3000 mAh battery

We have discovered the potential pricing for the Honor V8, the multiple versions of the smartphones, and the potential alternative processor. Now the new information for the dual camera sensor that will be featured in Honor's latest flagship has appeared, and it seems to share the same technology as the Huawei P9. 

After teasers of the new model appeared online, more information of the upcoming Honor V8 is starting to pop up, with several benchmark scores pointing to the fact that the V8 may ship with a Samsung Exynos processor, alongside Huawei’s own Kirin SoC.

Huawei teased us with a new a pair of identical rings light up to form the number 8, before projecting the letter 'V' up into the top half of the leaked poster. So It’s likely to be called the Honor V8 as it is clearly similar to the previous Huawei P9 teasers before its launch at the beginning of this month. This suggests that the Honor V8 will also have a dual camera setup but it won't be LEICA-certified like the P9. According to the leaked event teaser, we should be expecting Huawei to announce the new device on 10 May 2016.
