Honor 20 Could Launch as Huawei Nova 5T in Some Markets including Thailand

Huawei Nova 5 series debuted in China last month which include the Nova 5, Nova 5 Pro, and Nova 5i. Last week, the company expanded the range further by launching the Nova 5i Pro. But, now the company may soon include Huawei Nova 5T on its Nova 5 line-up.

The Huawei Nova 5T bearing the model number YAL-L21 has received certification from Thailand’s NBTC. Interestingly, the Honor 20 bearing the same model number i.e. YAL-L21 launched recently in several markets including India, Russia, UK, France, Germany, Malaysia, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, Spain.

As both the phone share the same model number and we have seen Honor phones rebranding under the brand of the parent company i.e Huawei. So, we expect the company to launch the Honor 20 as Huawei Nova 5T in some markets including Thailand.

Now, the question is the existence of Huawei Nova 5T Pro. Yes, this is also possible. Last month, we had seen Honor 20 Pro/ Huawei Nova 5T Pro and Honor 20/ Huawei Nova 5T on Google Play supported device list with model name YAL-L41 and YAL-L21 respectively. But, as of now, Honor 20 as Huawei Nova 5T is confirmed for Thailand Market.

It is powered by HiSilicon Kirin 980 SoC coupled with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of inbuilt storage. It runs Android 9 Pie OS with Magic UI 2.1 on top of it.
