Evidence has appeared online that Huawei is preparing to launch the OSTA (Xingmang/Starlight) sub-brand. The presentation of the first O1 and O1 Pro smartphones is expected on November 20, 2026.

Huawei is preparing the Starlight (Xingmang) sub-brand for online sales with Kirin chips and active cooling. The brand will occupy the niche between budget and mid-range smartphones, competing with Redmi and Realme. There is no official confirmation yet.

Huawei has reported the first successful tests of its LogicFolding architecture: the upcoming Kirin processor for 2027 is already meeting the company's internal goals despite restricted access to advanced manufacturing technologies.
