A new leak shows Huawei’s coming Ascend Mate 7 successor, dubbed the Mate 8. This device is tied to the model number M200-UL00. A short video clip has been uploaded in YouTube showcasing the new device.

The Huawei Mate 8 release date has been confirmed for Sept. 2. But the device has landed in an 18-second video clip via the credible tipster Steve Hemmerstoffer’s YouTube channel, courtesy of ‏@blassKriss.

The device will reportedly have a 6.0-inch display, packed with 1,440 x 2,560 pixels QHD screen resolution. This display combination translates to a pixel density of 490 ppi. It will come powered by the company’s own Kirin 950 SoC.

In general, Phone Arena says, Chinese smartphone makers have started making two versions of new models, and Huawei is expected to follow suit. One of the Huawei Mate 8 variants will feature 3 GB of RAM configuration, in addition to housing 32 GB of built-in storage space. The second model will come with a killer 4 GB of RAM unit, along with 64 GB of native storage space.

The Huawei Mate 8 will sport a 20.7MP rear-facing camera, in addition to a 8 MP front-facing snapper for selfies. Right beneath the primary camera unit, a fingerprint scanner will also be part of the device.

For the battery unit, even though there’s no official information available at this point, the predecessor Huawei Ascend Mate 7 comes with a stupendous 4,100 mAh capacity. Hence, the successor can also be expected to stand out with regards to the housed battery unit. The manufacturer has not confirmed the Huawei Mate 8 specifications thus far.
