Rumors about a Huawei phone with an eight-core chip have been dropping down our chimney for some time, and now it looks like that device will be unveiled this month.
The Chinese phone maker has sent out invitations to a December 16 event, and one of the invites was allegedly posted on the social site Weibo.
Though the invite is plastered with Chinese characters, the English word "honor" is clear.
The Huawei Honor 4 is rumored to use Mediatek's brand new MT6592 chip, which Mediatek calls the "world's first true octa-core mobile platform."
Eight heads are better than four
The 1.7GHz processor's eight cores works simultaneously to handle multiple tasks, making it the first "true" eight-core SoC according to the chip maker.
In addition the Honor 4 is rumored to have 2GB of memory, 32GB of storage, 13- and 5-megapixel cameras, and Android 4.2.2: Jelly Bean.
Meanwhile the screen is said to measure 5.5 inches with a resolution of 720 x 1280.
The Honor 4/Glory 4 leaked in photos toward the end of last month, but there's been nary an official peep.
Luckily it seems that's about to end just in time for Santa to pick up a batch before he makes his rounds at the end of the month.
