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.
