Huawei Maimang 8 with waterdrop style notched display, triple rear cameras and a capacitive fingerprint sensor launched in China. The device seems like a rebranded Huawei P Smart+ (2019) smartphone. The only difference is the increased RAM and internal storage modules.

The device is currently available on Huawei Mall and other major e-commerce platforms for pre-ordering and will go on sale starting June 12.
