Following a wave of recent speculation, Huawei has officially confirmed when it will introduce its brand-new sub-brand, known as Xingmang in China and Osta in English-speaking markets. The unveiling is scheduled for November 20. Richard Yu, the head of Huawei's consumer business group, has already hinted at one of the first devices in the lineup by posting on Weibo from a handset labeled the Osta O1 Pro — essentially confirming the phone's name without making a formal announcement.
Based on earlier leaks, the Osta O1 Pro is expected to feature a 6.39-inch LTPS OLED display boasting 1.5K resolution and an unusual 16:9.5 aspect ratio. This makes it strikingly similar to the screen found on Huawei's own Pura X View, though the O1 Pro will take the form of a wider, conventional smartphone rather than a foldable. In terms of memory, the device is rumored to arrive in four configurations: 12GB of RAM with 256GB or 512GB of storage, as well as 16GB of RAM paired with either 512GB or a hefty 1TB of internal space.
A newly surfaced leak has given us the render shown above, which allegedly portrays the Osta O1 Pro in three distinct color options. Meanwhile, information about the standard Osta O1 — the second device tipped to join the sub-brand's debut — remains under wraps for now. We'll be sure to share more details as soon as they emerge.
