It appears that Huawei has a new smartphone in the pipeline that will offer an incredible amount of internal storage. A mystery Huawei device has been certified by TENAA, China’s equivalent of the FCC, and the listing on its website reveals that this device has 512GB of onboard storage. It might very well be the first smartphone with this amount of internal storage.
Huawei is due to launch its new Huawei P20 lineup later this month. The company has scheduled an event on March 27th in Paris where it’s going to finally unveil the P20, P20 Lite, and P20 Pro officially.
However, it’s not known at this point in time if this mystery device that has been spotted at TENAA is a variant of one of the upcoming P20 devices or a completely different device altogether. The latter seems more plausible given that we have yet to hear any rumors about a P20 device with 512GB of storage and we’ve heard a lot of rumors about these handsets so far.
Some might think that perhaps it’s a typo in the online listing which makes it seem like this unnamed Huawei smartphone is going to have 512GB of storage. Interestingly, the company requested a change to the listing after the initial certification request to reflect that it has that amount of storage. This puts to bed the theory that this may have been a typo.
We’ll have to wait and see how this plays out as Huawei hasn’t dropped any hints pertaining to a smartphone with 512GB onboard storage so far.
