A week after the Huawei ARS-AL00 / ARS-TL00, Huawei JKM-AL00 has been certified by TENAA, which is said to be released as Y9 (2019). This reveals a similar design and specifications as the Honor 8X that was introduced earlier this month. This reveals a 6.5-inch Full HD+ display with narrow bezels and 91% screen-to-body ratio, 20-megapixel rear camera with LED flash, AI scene recognition, 2-megapixel secondary camera to capture depth information in portrait shots and 16-megapixel front camera.
This could be powered by the same Kirin 710 SoC, but this packs a 4000mAh battery, compared to the 3750mAh battery on the Honor 8X.
