Huawei patents the Mate 20 name

according to Given that Huawei jumped from the P10 to the Huawei P20 this year it always looked likely that its next phablet flagship would be called the Huawei Mate 20, but now we're even more confident that will be the case as the company has trademarked the Mate 20 name. The trademark, spotted by Mobielkopen, isn't the only new one filed by Huawei though, as it's also applied to protect the Mate 30 through to the Mate 90, so don't expect to see a Huawei Mate 21 next year. We still can't be certain of the name, as the company trademarked the name P11 for its other flagship range despite ultimately not using it, so it could just be keeping its options open or preventing other companies from capitalizing on the name, but calling it the Mate 20 certainly seems the most likely option right now. Features unknownOther than its likely name we know very little about the Huawei Mate 20 and Huawei Mate 20 Pro, though one early rumor suggests they will have in-screen fingerprint scanners, and they're sure to have a new top-end chipset. We're still probably a few months away from launch though, with November looking likely, so we'd expect more leaks and rumors to start pouring in as we get closer.

Huawei patents the Mate 20 name

Huawei patents the Mate 20 name10 July 2018Huawei launched its P-series in the spring altering the naming pattern so increments come in tens rather than ones. Now its Mate lineup is about to follow suit as the company just patented the Mate 20 name at EUIPO, along with Mate 30, Mate 40 etc. This means Huawei definitely ditched the sequential numbering and will start counting generations in tenths from now on. According to information from last month, the Huawei Mate 20 is expected to come with 6.9" AMOLED screen that will not have curved edges. The reason behind the growing screen size is apparently the home market of Huawei where consumers prefer big displays more than people elsewhere.

Huawei Mate 20 Lite to come in at least two variants

according to Huawei Mate 20 Lite to come in at least two variants20 July 2018We've heard some things before about the upcoming Mate 20 and Mate 20 Pro, but there was nothing on the Lite version until now. Twitter leakster Roland Quandt, tweeted about the Mate 20 Lite coming in two variants. However, we don't think that Huawei will put this fresh new tech on the budget Mate 20 variant. Also, if it follows the footsteps of last year's Mate 10 Lite with the LCD panel, this wouldn't allow the incorporation of the under display fingerprint reader. We will know more once some more revealing leaks start to pop up and we assume the Lite model will be launched alongside the Mate 20 and 20 Pro sometime this Fall.
