Huawei Maya Smartphone Spotted On Benchmarking Site, Android 6.0 Marshmallow, 2 GB RAM And More

Huawei has been in the news recently for a mixed number of reasons - be it the expected launch of rumored Huawei P10 at the MWC 2017 or the arrest of its executives for leaking confidential information to LeEco.

Now a new development has taken place and suggests that the company has a new smartphone in the pipeline. A mysterious Huawei device codenamed MYA-L03 has been spotted on Geekbench.

The MYA-L03 is speculated to be a budget friendly smartphone from the company and has cleared the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) certification on Dec. 28, 2016.

The date is listed on a FCC document which is available for viewing on the FCC website. Various reports suggest that the mysterious device could be named "Huawei Maya."

Specifications Listed By Geekbench

According to the Geekbench listing, the Huawei MYA-L03 is expected to come pre-loaded with Android 6.0 Marshmallow and may be powered by a quad-core MediaTek MT6737T CPU, clocking at 1.44 GHZ.

The rumored    smartphone may house 2 GB of RAM and has a single-core-score of 658 and a multi-core-score of 1815, according to the listing.

FCC Filing Shows Dual-SIM Phone

The FCC filing, on the other hand, discloses a similar model under the name MYA-L23. The FCC listed model is a dual-SIM smartphone whereas the Huawei device spotted on Geekbench will house only a single SIM.

The MYA-L23 is speculated to have 2920 mAh battery, 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, and will be supporting 4G/LTE (bands 2, 4, 5, and 7). The FCC cleared smartphone is also expected to come packed with the Bluetooth option.

Going by the picture in the FCC filing, the device may come with a replaceable back cover option to satisfy the growing demand of changeable colorful back plates. A closer look at the picture reveals microSD card slot and a SIM slot in the device. The rear camera is located on the upper portion with the LED flash on its left.

Huawei will most likely place its brand name on the back panel of the upcoming smartphone. The company is trying its best to get a strong foothold in the ultra-affordable smartphone market in the U.S.

Rumors suggests that the mysterious Huawei smartphone may cost anything between $100 to $150.

Huawei has a press event slated for Feb. 26 and it remains to be seen if the mysterious Huawei Maya will be introduced at the upcoming event. Since the smartphone has been given the green signal by the FCC, the handset will make its way to the U.S.

Close on the heels of an Honor-branded smartphone from Huawei - possibly the Honor 9 - leaking online, comes word that a mysterious device from the company has been spotted on TENAA.

According to reports, a device with the model number WAS-AL00 has popped up on the TENAA, which is the Chinese equivalent of the FCC, suggesting that its release is on the cards.

The WAS-AL00 could potentially be another smartphone in the company's Honor lineup as it bears a strong resemblance to the Honor 8. However, unlike the Honor 8, the leaked smartphone does not have the dual rear cameras, as well as the laser focus module.

The smartphone's alleged images clearly show off the Huawei logo on the bottom of the handset on both the front and rear panels of the device.

The images also point to curved corners for the mysterious Huawei WAS-AL00 smartphone.

Huawei WAS-AL00 Specs

The TENAA listing reveals that the mystery Huawei smartphone will sport a 5.2-inch FHD screen with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels. Under the hood, the device will likely be powered by an octa-core Kirin processor, which clocks at 2.1 GHz and 4 GB of RAM.

The Huawei smartphone's dimensions are apparently 5.77 x 2.83 x 0.28 inches and the device will allegedly weigh 0.32 lbs (about 5.12 ounces). The WAS-AL00 will also offer support for LTE, Blueooth, Wi-Fi and Dual SIM.

It will apparently have 64 GB of on-board storage, which can be expanded further to an additional 128 GB via a microSD card.

The TENAA listing also reveals that the impending handset will tout a 12-megapixel primary camera and it will look to entice selfie lovers with an 8-megapixel front-facing shooter. The primary camera will offer LED flash support.

Fueling the Huawei smartphone will be a 2900 mAh battery. The smartphone will come pre-loaded with Android 7.0 Nougat with the EMUI 5.0 on top.

This handset will likely be a mid-range offering and will also support a fingerprint sensor, which will be located on the rear of the handset - with a rectangular ring around it - as evidenced by the leaked images on TENAA.

Huawei AT MWC 2017

The pricing of the smartphone or its release date is not known. However, it is expected that the device could be unveiled at the MWC 2017 alongside other rumored handsets from the company like the Huawei P10, which leaked over the weekend.

Huawei has a press event slated for Feb. 26 at the MWC 2017 where it's CEO will reportedly "share Huawei's latest innovations and exciting advances." It remains to be seen if the mystery handset debuts at the event.

Huawei Set To Launch Another Honor Smartphone Soon

Even as the Honor 8 receives the Android Nougat update, it seems that the company is also thinking of launching the device's successor dubbed the Honor 9.

According to a new report, Huawei's Honor brand could receive a boost as the company is expected to launch a new flagship in the coming months.

The source of this information is a listing on TENAA, which is the Chinese equivalent of the FCC. A mysterious Honor smartphone bearing the model number DUK-TL30 has been certified by TENAA, suggesting that its release is not far away.

Since the listing does not reveal the name of the smartphone, but only its model number, it is not confirmed whether the device is the Honor 9 or some other handset under this brand name.

Rumored Specs

It is expected that this upcoming Honor 9 mobile device would be an enhancement over its predecessor the Honor 8. Per leaks, this Honor handset shall be equipped with an octa-core processor clocked a 2.4GHz and will possess Kirin 960 CPU compared to the Honor 8 version which had Kirin 950 chipset.



The anonymous handset will probably have a 5.7-inch Quad HD display based on the TENAA listing. This unannounced model shall house 6 GB of RAM and could tout on-board storage of 128 GB, which will be expandable to an additional 128 GB via a microSD card.

The Huawei Honor 8 is fueled by a 3000 mAh battery, whereas the Honor 9 is expected to house a 3900 mAh battery. The smartphone will offer dual-SIM support and may also pack in a fingerprint sensor.

In addition, this flagship device will probably have a dual-camera setup - a 12-megapixel primary camera along with a 2-megapixel camera with LED flash system. The secondary camera of the device is expected to be 8-megapixels, making it perfect for taking selfies and also video calls.

The smartphone listed on TENAA measures 6.18 x 3.05 x .27 inches and weighs 6.5 ounces.

The 4G LTE capable smartphone will also support Bluetooth 4.1 and may launch in a gold color per reports. The mysterious Honor smartphone could also come pre-loaded with Android 7.0 Nougat.

May Not Be Honor 9?

Since the Honor 8 has been updated with Android 7.0 Nougat version recently and the phone is already doing so well in the market, a possibility exists that the company may not look to launching the successor Honor 9 so soon. Therefore, the Honor DUK-TL30 could be a completely different handset.

Huawei has an event scheduled on Feb. 26 at the MWC 2017, but whether this mysterious Honor device will be unveiled alongside the rumored P10 and P10 Plus smartphones remains to be seen
