This is actually a model which was specially designed to test and optimize their 5G mmWave performance. The image clearly shows that the smartphone sports a dual rear camera and carries a Qualcomm Snapdragon logo at the back panel. Sherif Hanna also mentions that the device can support multi-mode 2G/3G/4G/5G.
