On the front, it is expected to sport 5.2-inch full HD display. Under the hood, it is said to house Huawei's proprietary HiSilicon Kirin 950 processor, 3GB RAM, 32GB storage and a 3,900mAh battery

Word on the street is that Huawei also plans to unveil a premium phone version with more powerfull HiSilicon Kirin 955 SoC (System-on-Chip), sumptuous 4GB RAM, 64GB/128GB storage and a USB Type C port.
