A recent interview with one of the senior officials of the Chinese company Huawei, Yu Chengdong (president of the company), has revealed that this manufacturer could be working on a new smartphone that would incorporate a sapphire screen. This new mobile could correspond to the successor or even a premium version of the Huawei Ascend P7 (officially presented at the beginning of this year 2014).

In this specific case, the Huawei event is scheduled for September 4, so that will be the date on which all the news about this company in terms of mobile phones will be revealed.
