Huawei Mate 7S passes through TENAA
We all know that Huawei has something planned for IFA later this year after yesterday’s teasers, and now its next smartphone, currently known as the Mate 7S, has been spotted passing through China’s TENAA certification center. As usual, there are a couple of pictures to accompany the listing too.
The latest pictures match up with the leaked images posted online last week, which looks virtually identical to Huawei’s existing Mate 7 smartphone. There are a couple of notable differences though, such as the relocation of the front camera to the right of the phone and a slight replacement of the company’s logo to the lower section of the display.

TENAA also lists three different models for a selection of Chinese carriers. Additional models could appear in other regions at a later date. The CRR-UL00 model is destined for Unicom, while CRR-CL00 and CRR-TL00 are for two different carriers, perhaps China Telecom or China Mobile. The phone will also be available in black or gold color options.
The TENAA listing doesn’t give us any information about the phone’s specifications, but the latest hardware rumors suggest that this Mate 7S will ship with a 1080p display, octa-core Kirin SoC, 3GB of RAM and a 13 megapixel rear camera. Huawei has declared that a new “Unique S” smartphone will be unveiled at IFA on September 2nd.
Huawei Mate 7S passes through TENAA
Earlier today, an unannounced Huawei-branded smartphone passed through China’s official certification database — TENAA. The high-end handset has been dubbed the Mate 7S and due content included in the report is believed to be targeted at the Asian, European and North American markets.
In terms of design, the render shows a device that looks like a fusion of an HTC One (M8) Max and Samsung’s Galaxy S5, in as much as its got an almost identical backplate to the latter, and a very similar display to the former.
If recent leaks and rumors are anything to go by, the Mate 7S definitely won’t be a slouch when it comes to performance, packing a Kirin chipset, 3GB of RAM, a 13-megapixel rear-facing camera.

Hopefully we can expect the Huawei Watch any day now
there haven’t been much announcements lately about any new smart watches coming out soon. There have been rumors that Samsung is slated to release their next editions of their smart watch lineup, but nothing has really come to fruition.
One smart watch that we know is coming for sure, is Huawei’s foray into the growing field. Back in March the Chinese company announced their first Android Wear smart watch, the Huawei Watch. However, there were no details about when the smart watch would be available.
Well, thanks to the folks over at Phandroid, we now know that the release may be coming sooner rather than later. The official product page on Huawei’s website has gone live, where folks can sign up to be notified when the smart watch is officially available.
Some may not have known, or had forgotten that Huawei was coming out with a smart watch. For those folks, we have a little spec sheet to share, to let you know what to expect out of the latest Android Wear device.
- 1.4 inch AMOLED display
- 1.2GHz Qualcomm Processor
- 4GB of storage
- 512MB RAM
- Bluetooth 4.1
- 300 mAh Battery
These aren’t earth shattering specs, and they definitely won’t rock the boat, so to speak. However, if you look at just some of the pictures of Huawei’s upcoming Android Wear device, you may just fall in love. The Huawei Watch is beautifully designed, and really features a more professional, and classy look. There’s also no sight of the flat tire that is found on the Moto 360
Let us know what you think about the new Huawei Watch in the comments section below. Is the impending release holding you back from jumping on the train for another smart watch?

Leak: New details emerge on upcoming Nexus devices from LG and Huawei
It’s never too early for Nexus leaks, am I right? While we’ve seen the odd leak in recent times showing off possible specifications and rear panels, today we have not one, but two leaks about both the Nexus handsets that are allegedly being developed by LG and Huawei.
According to serial leaker @OnLeaks, the Nexus handset being developed by LG will likely sport a metal body as well as the following specifications:
- 5.2-Inch display
- Front-facing speakers
- Fingerprint sensor on the rear
- USB Type-C
- Dimensions: 146.9 x 72.9 x 8/9.8mm
The Huawei developed Nexus will apparently also have a metal body, along with the following specifications:
- 5.7-Inch display
- Front-facing speakers
- Fingerprint sensor on the rear
- USB Type-C
- Dimensions: 159.4 x 78.3 x 6.6/8.5mm
As you can see, both handsets feature a fingerprint sensor on the rear panel, front-facing speakers and USB Type-C. It’s likely that this interpretation of the USB Type-C standard will include both USB 3.1 data transfer and quick charging, unlike the stripped down version that is present in the OnePlus 2.
Besides today’s leaks, it’s rumoured that the Huawei Nexus could be the first smartphone to offer global LTE support. It’s also rumoured to use the Snapdragon 810 processor (not the 820) while the LG Nexus could use the Snapdragon 808.
While it’s interesting to see what LG and Huawei are planning with their respective Nexus handsets, it should be noted that anything can change in the coming months, thus the proverbial pinch of salt should be taken with today’s leaks. What would you like to see in the next Nexus device(s)? Let us know in the comments below.

Huawei’s Nexus smartphone may offer global LTE support
While Google’s Nexus smartphones usually come equipped with top-of-the-line hardware, their popularity can be largely attributed to the pure Android experience that they offer. But this time around, Huawei is going to give you one more reason to get excited about the upcoming Google flagship – it could be compatible with LTE bands worldwide.
According to BGR India, the Huawei-made Nexus will feature a single PCB for all bands, making it the world’s first Global LTE capable smartphone. Usually a country either has FD-LTE or TD-LTE frequency bands, therefore, smartphone companies manufacture country-specific handsets. Those travelling from one country to another often face network issues if their handset is not compatible with the frequency bands of the new country.
“In order to save costs, manufacturers instead have different variants for different regions. However this is something only Google would do,” a Huawei source was quoted as saying.
It is not clear whether Huawei is using Qualcomm’s RF360 technology that promises to deliver one global LTE solution for bands of multiple frequencies.
Earlier, we had reported a leaked video that showed the design and specifications of Huawei’s upcoming Nexus smartphone. According to rumours, the Huawei Nexus will come with a 5.7-inch QHD display, Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 820 processor, 13.1-megapixel rear camera with laser focus, 4GB of RAM and NFC support. Needless to say, it will run Android M out-of-the-box.

Details on the next Nexuses leaked
New news on the next Nexuses everybody. @OnLeaks has just shared a bunch of details about the anticipated Nexus handsets from LG and Huawei.
Starting with the Huawei model, this appears to be the next super-sized handset in the Nexus line-up, with a 5.7-inch display and measurements coming in at 159.4 x 87.3 x 6.6/8.5mm. The smartphone will apparently feature a metal body, front facing speakers, a fingerprint scanner on the back in typical Huawei fashion and a USB Type-C port.
#Huawei‘s #NEXUS: Metal Body,roughly 159.4×78.3×6.6/8.5mm,likely 5.7″ Screen,Front Facing Speakers,Fingerprint Sensor on the Back,USB Type-C
— OnLeaks (@OnLeaks) August 12, 2015
The rumored LG Nexus is a more moderate size at 5.2-inches, which matches up with previous rumors about a Nexus 5 successor. The LG Nexus is also likely to feature a metal body, along with front facing speakers, a fingerprint scanner on the back and a USB Type-C port. The phone will measure 146.9 x 72.9 x 8/9.8mm. The shared hardware extras between the Huawei and LG handsets is intriguing, but Google is likely keen to showcase the latest Android M features too, which includes native support for fingerprint authentication.
However, all of these extra features raise the question of price once again. The Motorola Nexus 6 was quite a bit more expensive than its predecessors, which didn’t go down too well with some potential customers, and these two Nexus devices sound like they could end up in a similar price bracket.

Previous rumors also point to a QHD display and Snapdragon 810 or 820 chipset for the Huawei handset, rather than the company’s own Kirin chipset. The LG version is rumored to come with a Snapdragon 808, like the G4, and a reasonable 2,700mAh battery.
What do you think about packing these high-end features in a Nexus phone? Are you concerned about the potential price tags?
Huawei teases “unique” smartphone for IFA 2015
Huawei social media accounts have released a couple of teaser images this morning, pointing to a new handset that will be unveiled at this year’s IFA conference on September 2nd, which takes place in Berlin.
The teasers don’t reveal too much, but the poster released by president of Huawei’s consumer business, Zhu Ping, translates to “Unique S”. A separate teaser posted by a marketing manager from Huawei Italy reads “A Better S” and the “Mate S”, which seems to point to a new entry in Huawei’s Mate series of larger smartphones.
A few days ago, leaked images for a new Huawei smartphone hit the internet, which looks very much like a new phone in the Mate series. Perhaps the phone will be named the Mate 7S? There are also mumblings that a Mate 7 Mini and/or Plus are rumored to launch on the same day at IFA.
We don’t have much else to go on at the moment, apart from a few rumored specifications. Huawei’s next smartphone may come with a 5.7-inch 1080p display, Kirin 935 octa-core processor, 3GB of RAM and a 13 megapixel rear camera. An AnTuTu listing also suggests that Huawei has a 4.7-inch smartphone with the same specifications in the works too, but we will just have to wait until September for the official word.
Any thoughts on the Huawei teasers? What would you like to see from the company at IFA?
Huawei Ascend Mate 7S is likely the name of the mysterious Huawei device, invites set for IFA 2015
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push();
For the last few days, we’ve been seeing leaks of a mysterious Huawei device that looks awfully like last year’s Huawei Ascend Mate 7 – given rumours that the Ascend Mate 8 was going to be delayed till 2016, we were left with the conclusion that this would be an upgraded variant of the Ascend Mate 7, but what would its name be? Names like the Ascend Mate 7 Plus had been floated, but according a teaser posted by Zhu Ping, President of Huawei‘s consumer business, we’re strongly lead to believe that the device Huawei is going to announce at IFA 2015 is going to be the Huawei Ascend Mate 7S – the giant “S” is a dead giveaway.
Of course, the teaser also sets a date for the announcement, namely September 2nd. While the Ascend Mate 7S is no doubt going to headline Huawei’s event, we’re also wondering whether the Huawei Watch is also going to make an appearance after Huawei started teasing its release again. Whatever the case, Huawei’s event is going to be an exciting one given its growing profile in the global smartphone market.
