Huawei Mate 8 to feature QHD screen, home grown Kirin 930 chip set and fingerprint scanner?

According to a recent Huawei roadmap which we passed along to you, the Huawei Mate 8 is expected to be unveiled next month. The latest word on the successor to the popular Huawei Mate 7 is that the new model will feature a similarly high screen-to-body ratio. The Mate 7 weighed in with a 78% ratio last year.

The 6-inch screen on the Mate 8 will get bumped to a 1440 x 2560 resolution, and Huawei will employ the home grown 64-bit Kirin 930 SoC with an octa-core CPU. The 20.7MP rear snapper will use the Sony IMX220 sensor and there will be a fingerprint scanner on the device. The phone will support 4G LTE Cat.6 (300Mbps).

We have some images in the slideshow that allegedly show off the "bezel-less" look of the handset. This seems to be the big thing among Chinese handset manufacturers these days with borderless displays coming on new phones produced by ZTE, Vivo, Meizu and Oppo.
