Knowing Google Nexus 6P is still selling like hotcakes in the U.S. and other pivotal global markets, Huawei could sleep well at night for the remainder of this year. But not to be the hare in the popular Aesop's fable, the fourth-largest smartphone maker in the first quarter of 2015, as per CBD, is currently busy developing the rumored Huawei Mate 8 phablet.

Now, a report from China has indicated that Foxconn is already mass producing the Mate 8 en route to a holiday season release date.

According to MyDrivers via Android Headlines, commercial release of the Mate 8 is slated either in late November or early December.

The fresh report also stated that the phablet will feature a Force Touch technology akin to the latest iOS devices from Apple. It also corroborated with prior rumors suggesting Huawei's HiSilicon Kirin 950 SoC will power the Mate 8 at launch.

The Kirin 950 is said to be the company's newest high-end chipset. It is rumored to include four ARM 2.0GHz Cortex-A53 cores and four 2.4GHz Cortex-A72 cores. It also features the top-caliber ARM Mali-T880 GPU, a motion co-processor, a Tensilica Hi-Fi 4 DSP chip and a Cat. 10 LTE radio, as per WCCF Tech.

A leaked image from a Weibo user over the summer revealed that the Kirin 950 is processed on the 16 nm FinFET process. Not only that, its 2.4 GHz Cortex-A72 cores outperforms the Exynos 7420 by a considerable margin. The Kirin 950 tallied single-core and multi-core scores of 1,909 and 6,096 respectively. Meanwhile the Exynos 7420 received 1,486 single-core points and 4,970 multi-core points.

It's worth mentioning that the Exynos 7420 is the chipset that powers a string of top-tier Samsung smartphones like the Galaxy S6, S6 Edge Plus and Note5.

As for the Mate 8's other rumored specs, it will allegedly sport a six-inch 1440 x 2560 QHD touchscreen display, either 3 GB or 4 GB of RAM and either 32 GB or 64 GB of internal memory. The handset is sandwiched between a 21-megapixel primary camera and an eight-megapixel front-facing unit.

Rumor has it the Mate 8's 3 GB version will retail for ¥3,299 or approximately $520 while its 4 GB variant will have a ¥3,899 price tag, which is around $610.

Global availability for Huawei's upcoming high-end phablet has yet to be reported. Although history dictates that it will make its way to the U.S. via Huawei's web store or third-party e-commerce websites such as Amazon, Best Buy and the like.
