Huawei was rumoured to be releasing a 5-inch device last month, said to be the Huawei Ascend D3, expect that device never eventuated. Instead, we get a leaked photo from what looks like the production floor at Huawei which shows a device that could easily be mistaken for the HTC One Max. The pictured device is allegedly the Huawei Ascend D3, which is rumoured to have a 5-inch, 1080p display as well a Kirin octacore processor. Apart from the price, $469, there’s not much else we know about the device, but it looks like a solid enough device, and might even pull a few fans looking for a cheaper alternative to HTC that still has the looks.
Above you can see a photo of the back of the device and it’s notable that there is both a camera and what looks like a slot for what was the fingerprint scanner on the HTC One Max. Maybe this is a crazy coincidence, but this isn’t the first time that a Huawei device has look suspiciously similar to a HTC device. Prior to MWC 2014 earlier this year, a picture leaked out days before the event showing the picture of a device that looks quite similar to the HTC One; we now know the device to be the Huawei MediaPad M1, which adopted the dual speaker configuration that HTC has pretty much made its own.
