Huawei's sub-brand Honor is rumored to be prepping up to launch a new smartphone in the market. Dubbed as the Honor 8, the device is said to hit store shelves by next month.
A report suggested that it will be officially unveiled on June 25. It will then be launched at a press conference which will take place on July 5 and will be available for purchase by July 12.
