News & Reviews:   Huawei Kirin 990 5G

With just a few more days before the Huawei Mate 30 series launch on 19 September 2019, renders of the Huawei Mate 30, Huawei Mate 30 Pro, Mate 30 RS Porsche Design and Huawei Mate 30 Lite have appeared courtesy of @evleaks. While no actual tech specs or features get mentioned, the renders show off the Huawei Mate 30 with a flat but notched front screen using dual front cameras (one of which we expect could be either a ToF or Time-of-Flight sensor or a depth sensor while the other could go for a 32MP ultra wide angle).

Here at IFA 2019, as expected, Huawei have revealed their 7nm EUV Kirin 990 5G chipset with a built-in 5G modem, which they say is the world’s first flagship 5G System-on-Chip (SoC) supporting an NSA/SA dual-network over the TDD/FDD spectrum, a 2.3Gbps 5G download speed and upload speed of 1.25Gbps. Using overlay LTE download speeds can reach 3.3Gbps while upload speed reaches 1.32Gbps. According to them, it also has the world’s first Big-Tiny Core Architecture NPU and 16-Core Mali-G76 GPU while maintaining the same size as the Kirin 980.
