Just a day after Huawei quietly listed the new Y5 2019 on its global website, its sub-brand Honor has launched the new Honor 8S smartphone in Russia. The Honor 8S is essentially the same phone as Huawei Y5 2019, but with a slightly different design. The phone has also popped up on the Honor Saudi website, hinting at the impending launch in the country. There is no word about the release of the phone in other markets. It is quite likely that the same phone will debut as Huawei Y5 2019 in some countries and Honor 8S in others.
