Huawei is one of China's top mobile phone brands, and there are a number of reasons why.

First, it provides high quality smartphones to the Chinese people within their local markets. Second, its smartphones are relatively cheaper than other brands.

For several months now, there have been rumors surrounding the upcoming Huawei P8 smartphone, which missed the Mobile World Congress event last month. According to a report from GSM Arena, there are new rumored details about the Android-powered smartphone.

In the report, the Huawei P8 would not pack the Kirin 930 chipset as previously hinted, but instead an updated and more powerful processor, Kirin 935. The device will boast a 5.2-inch display with a Full HD (1920 x 1080) resolution, 3GB of RAM, and a 32GB built-in storage. Other rumored features include a 13MP Sony-made camera, a 2,600mAh battery, and there are even rumors of a fingerprint scanner.

The report mentioned that Huawei will be holding an event on April 15 in London, probably to officially release its upcoming flagship. There are reportedly two versions of the device – one costing about $500 and another priced steeper at $800.
