Honor 10 Lite gets FCC approval, might launch outside China soon

Honor 10 Lite, a stripped down version of Honor 10 smartphone, was launched in China a few weeks ago. Now, the device has received the FCC approval, suggesting it could soon be launched in other markets as well.

A Honor smartphone with model number HRY-LX2 has received an approval from the FCC in the USA. The smartphone was launched in China recently with the model number HRY-LX1 and it is not surprising that the device is being launched in India as well. The device with model number HRY-LX2 could be the one made for markets other than China. However, it is not clear whether it will be rebadged or sell globally under the Honor 10 Lite branding.
