China’s most popular TV brand is hoping to score a goal with high-profile World Cup deal

The new version, presented at MWC 2019, is going out with an eSIM and a 5MP camera. It should be available in Europe and North America in the third quarter.

Nubia is preparing another launch in April, as well, which is for the gaming phone Red Magic 3. According to rumors, it will be the first phone using a fan for cooling and it should come with all the strong specs expected of a gaming phone. Still no word on availability though.
The Lenovo Z6 Pro could be next in line for a rollout this month, although the company hasn’t confirmed the phone is actually coming out in April yet. The Z6 Pro was also presented at MWC in February.
Another rumored product launch could be coming from Honor, as brand president Zhao Ming teased that a new device is coming very soon. Netizens speculate the release will be another i-series device. As with the latest offerings from the brand’s parent Huawei, US buyers are not likely to see Honor on their shelves any time soon.
