Barely two weeks after Huawei’s flagship phablet – the Mate 9 made its debut, a new high-end phablet from the company has surfaced on GFXBench benchmark website. The device, listed with the codename – Huawei LON-L29, is expected to be the Huawei P10 or P10 Plus – apparent successor to the Huawei P9/P9 Plus with innovative camera technology by Leica.
Pre-installed with Android 7.0 Nougat OS with the company’s EMUI on top; the Huawei LON-L29 (P10/P10 Plus) sports a 5.5-inch display with QHD (2560 x 1440 pixels) screen resolution. The screen size correlates with that of the P9 Plus, however, the resolution has been bumped to Quad HD from Full HD.
Packed in a full metal body build, the LON-L29 houses an octa-core Hisilicon Kirin 960 (4x Cortex-A73, 4x Cortex-A53) processor clocked at 2.3GHz with ARM Mali-G71 GPU, which is higher in performance compared to the Kirin 955 (4x Cortex-A72, 4x Cortex-A53) SoC and ARM Mali-T880 GPU on the P9.
The phone is also listed as having 6GB RAM and 256GB built-in storage space, out of which 231GB is available to the end user. The dual camera setup on the P9 is one of the much talked about feature however the listing only mentions a rear 12MP camera and a front facing 8MP camera.
Asides also supporting NFC, the battery capacity of the Huawei LON-L29 is not listed. Judging from previous Huawei P series launches, the P10 and P10 Plus are expected to go official around March or April.
