Huawei has announced that its P8max smartphone, which was unveiled back in April this year, will carry a price tag of 3,788 Chinese Yuan ($610). As for its release, a teaser (see image below) of the device reveals a date of June 26.

Specs-wise, the device is powered by a HiSilicon Kirin 935 chipset with a 64-bit octa-core processor running at up to 2.2GHz, and sports a massive 6.8-inch display with 1080 x 1920 resolution. It comes with 3GB RAM and 64GB internal memory, and packs in a huge 4360mAh battery.

In terms of camera, the P8max features a 13MP rear unit and a 5MP front shooter. It runs Android Lollipop v5.0.2 out-of-the-box.

In addition, the Chinese company also announced that it shipped a total of 50 million handsets in the first half of the ongoing year, up an impressive 46% from the last year's H1 shipments of 34.27 million units.

Over a month after it was launched in China, the high-end Oppo R7 smartphone is now officially up for pre-orders internationally, including in the US.

The handset's pre-order price tag is $399 – keep in mind that it is an unlocked version that does not support US LTE bands and comes with a European charging plug. The device is available in silver and gold colour options.

Another point worth mentioning here is that for a limited time, the company is also giving away a pair of iLike Speed Metal headsets for free to those who pre-order the device, which will start shipping early next month.
