What are the leaked specifications and launch details for the new Huawei Osta smartphone brand? Huawei has not confirmed the brand. As of 10 November 2026 there is no official launch date, no price, and no India sale. Tipsters say Osta is the English name of a new Huawei sub-brand, Xingmang in China, and that the first phones are the O1 and a wide O1 Pro.
The reports landed between 4 and 9 November 2026. The strongest piece of evidence is a photo of a box corner, not a spec sheet from Huawei. Treat every figure below as a leak. Where only one tipster has given a number, this article says so.
What are the leaked specifications and launch details for the new Huawei Osta smartphone brand
| Claim | What the leaks say | How solid it is |
|---|---|---|
| Brand | English name Osta, written OSTA on the box. Chinese name Xingmang. | A box photo plus several tipsters. Huawei has not confirmed it. |
| First phones | O1 and wide O1 Pro. One English report says S1 Pro instead. | Box text says OSTA O1 Pro. The S1 name conflicts with that. |
| O1 Pro screen | 6.39-inch flat 1.5K LTPS, ratio 16:9.5, bezels about 1.05mm. | Repeated from 4 November. No pixel count has been published. |
| O1 Pro memory | 12GB + 256GB, 12GB + 512GB, 16GB + 512GB, and 16GB + 1TB. | The 16GB + 1TB line is on the box photo. The rest is from the same tipster. |
| Colours | Three, translated as Starry Black, Nebula White, and Starburst Purple. Wording differs by report. | Tipster only. |
| Cameras | 50MP main, a 12MP ultrawide or a periscope, 13MP front. | One tipster on 9 November, who also said the details are uncertain. |
| Brightness and haptics | O1 Pro up to 6,500 nits with an X-axis motor. O1 about 4,000 nits with a Z-axis motor. | Same single tipster. |
| Chip and software | Some posts say a Kirin 9000-series chip, often the Kirin 9025, and HarmonyOS 7. | Weak. An earlier rumour said a Kirin 8-series chip. No document has been shown. |
| Battery and price | Not published for the O1 Pro. One post says the O1 has a 7,000mAh battery and 100W charging. | Weak. No Osta price exists in any report. |
| Launch | Later in November 2026. No day, no country list. | Tipsters only. Huawei has given no date. |
What the box photo actually shows
On 4 November 2026, IT Home reported that the Chinese tipster Digital Chat Station had named the sub-brand. The English name on the box is OSTA, the first wide phone is called OSTA O1 Pro, and the packaging names Huawei Device Co., Ltd. A corner of that box shows 16GB RAM and 1TB of storage. 91mobiles carried the same report the next day and added that Huawei, asked about the rumours, pointed people to its official announcements rather than confirming the brand.
The Chinese brand name in these reports is Xingmang, which English write-ups translate as Starlight or Starburst. Osta is the export-style name, not a second company. Nothing in the leaks says Huawei has sold the brand off, which is what it did with Honor in 2020.
Naming is not fully settled in English. GSMArena’s 9 November article called the wide phone the Osta S1 Pro. The box photo described by IT Home, and the later reports from Gizmochina and GSMDome, say O1 Pro. Until Huawei prints a name, O1 Pro is the one backed by the box, and S1 Pro is the outlier.
The wide O1 Pro
The phone tipsters keep describing is not a foldable. It is a flat, wide handset. Digital Chat Station’s figures, repeated by Gizmochina on 9 November, are a 6.39-inch 1.5K LTPS panel, a 16:9.5 ratio, and bezels of about 1.05mm on all four sides. A 16:9.5 screen is much wider than the 19.5:9 or 20:9 panels on most phones, so 6.39 inches understates how broad it looks. The tipsters have not published a pixel resolution, so “1.5K” is their label, not a measured count.
The same posts list four storage options, from 12GB of RAM with 256GB of storage up to 16GB with 1TB. Only the top one appears on the box photo. Three colours are named. English translations vary between Starry Black and Starry Sky Black, Nebula White, and Starburst Purple or Starlight Purple. IT Home also said an engineering unit had a purple power button, a racetrack-shaped camera island, and was aimed at online sales.
A front render shared on 9 November shows a flat screen, slim borders, and a centered hole for the selfie camera, in dark and light finishes. That matches the wide-screen description. It is a leaked render, not a Huawei press photo, and it does not show the back.
Camera, brightness, and vibration claims come from a separate 9 November post by tipster GuoJing, reported by Huawei Central. He said the O1 and O1 Pro may share a 50MP main camera and a 13MP front camera, plus either a 12MP ultrawide or a periscope, not both. He compared that cut with Huawei’s standard Nova 16 and said the imaging details were still uncertain. For the screen, he gave the O1 Pro up to 6,500 nits and a custom X-axis linear motor, and the O1 about 4,000 nits and a simpler Z-axis motor. He also mentioned dual speakers and a slim frame, and suggested the price may not feel low enough for the spec cuts. No price figure was attached.
The standard O1
Less has leaked about the O1. 91mobiles, citing the same tipsters, says it has a screen curved on all four edges and a large circular camera module, so it would look like a conventional phone next to the wide O1 Pro. Display size, chip, and battery are not in that report. A single later post, noted by tech-ish, claims a 7,000mAh battery and 100W charging for the O1, and 100W charging without a capacity for the O1 Pro. One unnamed post is not enough to treat those as likely.
How the leaks compare with the Pura X View
The wide shape is not new for Huawei. The Pura X View is already on sale in China. On Huawei’s China product page it is listed from CNY 5,999, with a 16:9.5 panel at 2232 x 1320, a 120Hz refresh rate, a 6,500-nit peak, a Kirin 9030S chip, 12GB of RAM, HarmonyOS 7, a 200MP XMAGE camera, and a typical 7,000mAh battery (rated 6,815mAh). Huawei also lists the body at 201g and 6.68mm. GSMArena’s launch report describes that screen as 6.39 inches, the same size the O1 Pro leaks use.
| Osta O1 Pro, leaks only | Pura X View, Huawei’s China page | |
|---|---|---|
| Status as of 10 November 2026 | Not announced | On sale in China |
| Screen | 6.39-inch flat LTPS, 16:9.5, about 1.05mm bezels. Pixel count not leaked. | 16:9.5, 2232 x 1320, 120Hz, 6,500-nit peak |
| Memory | Up to 16GB RAM and 1TB, if the box photo is real | 12GB RAM, 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB |
| Main camera | 50MP claimed, and no periscope in one leak | 200MP XMAGE |
| Chip | Not confirmed | Kirin 9030S |
| Battery | Not reliably leaked | 7,000mAh typical |
| Price | No figure. One tipster says a bit below the Pura X View. | From CNY 5,999 in China |
If those leaks hold, the O1 Pro copies the wide shape and aims a bit lower, with a claimed LTPS panel rather than the Pura’s listed specification, and with more RAM on the top version. It does not, on current leaks, copy the 200MP camera. None of that is a buying comparison until Huawei publishes an Osta page.
Launch date, price, and India
There is no launch event on Huawei’s calendar for this brand. Gizmochina, writing on 9 November, said the brand was expected this month. Huawei Central said the phones would likely arrive later this month, and that the date was still a mystery. A tipster told tech-ish on 6 November that news of both phones could come the following week, alongside talk of a small folding computer and a thin watch. That window is this week, and Huawei had still not announced Osta on 10 November.
No leak gives a price in yuan, dollars, or rupees. The only pricing comment is relative. The O1 Pro should cost a bit less than the Pura X View, which Huawei lists from CNY 5,999 in China. An October rumour, as summarised by tech-ish, had put the brand much lower, roughly USD 270 to 600 with a Kirin 8-series chip. November’s leaks moved it up to flagship-class hardware aimed at younger buyers and online sales, while Huawei’s own flagship line would keep a higher wide phone. Those two pictures cannot both be right, and neither is an official price.
No report says Osta will be sold in India. Huawei has not named any country. China phones from Huawei run HarmonyOS, which does not include Google services. Phones Huawei builds for some overseas markets have used EMUI instead, still without the Google app pack. Until a model number and a software build are official, there is no way to know which apps would run.
What not to take as fact yet
- The chip. Kirin 9025 and HarmonyOS 7 are guesses in posts that showed no document. They also clash with the older Kirin 8 rumour.
- Battery size and 100W charging. One post, no photo.
- Any price, in China or in India.
- The rear camera design. GSMDome mentioned separate concept art of a horizontal camera bar. Concept art is not a leaked part.
- A wider product family. Some posts say the brand could later include tablets, earbuds, and watches. Huawei has not said that.
If you were waiting to buy one
Wait for a Huawei event or a product page with a model number. A box photo can be real and still describe a phone that changes before launch, or one that never ships under this name. Do not pay a booking deposit against a leaked RAM figure.
Huawei’s own recent flagship experiment is the tri-fold, covered in our Huawei tri-fold report. Honor, the sub-brand Huawei sold in 2020, is a different company now, and its foldable is in our Honor Magic V3 price and specs piece. More phone coverage is in Smartphones.
