Alleged Huawei Mate 20X leaks in live pictures

It looks like Huawei's October 16 event is not just about the Mate 20 and Mate 20 Pro. The Chinese handset maker teased earlier this week yet another Mate 20 series device aimed at gamers: the Mate 20X.

Although design-wise the Mate 20X may look similar to either of the two flagships that will be introduced next week, it might pack unique features like a much larger 7.2-inch OLED display.

A couple of live shots allegedly showing the upcoming Mate 20X have just been leaked online and from what we're seeing the phablet will pack the same triple camera configuration as the other two Mate 20 models.

We also expect the phone to be equipped with a powerful Kirin 980 processor, coupled with either 4GB, 6GB, or 8GB of RAM. Since it's a gaming phone, it will most likely come in multiple storage variations: 128GB, 256GB or 512GB.

One other piece of gear that we haven't yet learned anything about, but might be very important for a gaming phone – the battery remains a mystery. We're anxious to see how Huawei will differentiate the Mate 20X from the other two Mate 20 series phones and what's the company's take on “gaming phones.”
