News & Reviews:   kirin 9000

A few weeks ago, HUAWEI had announced that the HarmonyOS will soon be available as an update for current smartphones starting from April. The company also mentioned that the Mate X2 will be the first device to get the update via OTA. If you are wondering what other devices will be getting the update afterward, the answer might have arrived with a leak pointing to all devices with Kirin 710 and above.

Unlike Samsung, HUAWEI only design chipsets without involving themselves in the manufacturing part. Therefore, the aftermath caused by the U.S. ban brought a rather big impact on the company's chip supply. Earlier, it was reported that the Kirin 9000 will be HUAWEI's last flagship chip. Now, the Chinese tech giant might be stepping out of the comfort zone and try to start manufacturing chips.

Now that Huawei has launched its Mate 40 series of smartphones, we'll be getting more acquainted with the Kirin 9000 chipset in the coming days. Already we're getting some benchmarks on the chipset and it's looking good.

As per tradition, Huawei would always introduce their latest Kirin chipset at the IFA event annually. For this upcoming IFA 2020 event on 3 September, it was previously reported that the Kirin 1000 would be the next chipset but that could be no longer the case. Thanks to a new report, the company could unveil the Kirin 9000 chipset for the Huawei Mate 40 series.
