News & Reviews:   Kirin chipset

Earlier this month, it was rumoured that the next Huawei MatePad Pro will feature a Kirin 9000E chipset. But it looks like that's not the only chipset that is launching in 2021. In fact, sources claim that there's at least another Kirin chipset on the way.

With the announcement of HarmonyOS 2.0 back in last month, many are expecting HUAWEI to bring the in-house operating system (OS) to smartphones. However, it was revealed earlier that the Chinese tech giant will only launch the first smartphone with the HarmonyOS next year. Now, it appears that not only new smartphones can have the OS, but current HUAWEI and HONOR devices will also get to make the switch (well, at least some).

Previously, it was said that Huawei is gearing up to unveil its latest Kirin chipset at IFA 2020 on 5 September. However, it now seems like the upcoming Kirin 1000 could be the companies last flagship chipset. A new report claims that the company is being forced by current circumstances to stop producing its high-end chips beginning in September 2020.

Thought that 5G would be the playground of expensive flagship devices in 2020? That's not the case as companies are already working on mid-range chipsets with 5G. In the latest leak, some basic info of the Kirin 820 chipset by HiSilicon was revealed and it's expected to provide 5G connectivity to mid-range devices.
