Huawei unlikely to have a ‘Xingyao’ sub-brand in future: Tipster
Huawei is unlikely to have a “Xingyao” (Star-Shine) sub-brand in the future. That says a tipster denying all the previous rumors and revelations regarding the company’s new sub-series. He also added some more insights on this matter that are worth noting.
Before jumping to the main part, let’s learn the basics.
Tipster @BeijingDigitalMaster said that Huawei’s sub-brand Xingyao started testing new Kirin chips. The work is in progress and may be completed by October this year.
Although another tipster @FixedFocus refuted this rumor. He said that Huawei doesn’t have any “Xingyao” (Star-Shine) sub-brand. There is only a Star Edition model, which was later confirmed to belong to the Nova lineup – Nova 12 Ultra Star Edition.
Further details reveal that Honor has already registered for this sub-brand. Hence, Huawei will not use this name for its brand. Hence, the Chinese phone maker does not have any Xingyao sub-series, but only a Nova Star Edition for the moment.

The term “Xingyao” has been in headlines since last year. The company trademarked the word for a dual-ring camera phone design. Later, a few inputs claimed that the respective trademark will launch as Huawei’s sub-brand in the coming months.
A few alleged phones with “Huawei Star Shine” (Xingyao) also surfaced online. They said to equip new Kirin chips, HarmonyOS, and more. The inputs also mentioned that the sub-brand will mainly focus on the mid-range market with a reasonable price ($280).

Huawei has never uttered any word on this subject so far, which made it even more suspicious. Although the tipster FixedFocus has cleared the mist saying that the Xingyao rumor is completely false and Huawei isn’t planning any such sub-brand for now.
