TREE NEWS update: Huawei said on Oct 11 that official information should be the reference point after reports circulated that it plans to launch a mid-range smartphone sub-brand called “Xingmang,” positioned against its former budget line Honor. The reports said the phones would use Kirin 8-series chips and native HarmonyOS but skip high-end features such as satellite communication. Huawei customer service said on Oct 12 that it had not verified the information and advised waiting for company announcements.
Huawei Dismisses Report of ‘Xingmang’ Budget Phone Sub-Brand
AI take
The significance here is less about a single product line and more about how Huawei manages its portfolio narrative after spinning off Honor — any new budget sub-brand would compete in a segment where Honor already has scale. The company's non-denial keeps the possibility alive without committing, which matters for channel partners and developers weighing HarmonyOS device volumes. The open question is whether Huawei clarifies its mid-range roadmap, or lets the rumor fade.
