It looks like this year, with few exceptions, all smartphone companies have decided to out their flagships earlier than usual. Samsung is expected to launch the Galaxy Note 9 several weeks earlier, while HTC and LG are way late to the party.

Honor usually unveils its flagships in Q2 and this year is no exception. However, unlike last year when Honor 9 was announced in mid-June, the Honor 10 might be introduced a month earlier.

The handset maker is now sending invitations to the media for a launch event set for May 15. The event will take place in London, UK, and is likely to focus on a single device – the Honor 10.

Thanks to the invitation we also got a hint that the smartphone will include some AI features possibly like the Huawei Mate 10 and P20 phones.

Not much else is known about the Honor 10, but the image of the phone in the invitation doesn't seem to feature the notch. We'll be keeping an eye out for more details on this “flagship killer.” so stay tuned.
