Huawei has just announced its next flagship chipset called the Kirin 990, which is expected to be powering upcoming phones from the company including the Huawei Mate 30 Pro and Huawei P40.
It features improved performance over the last-gen chipset that featured in devices like the P30 Pro and Mate 20 as well as improved efficiency that should improve battery life when undertaking intensive tasks.
Huawei claims that single core performance on this chip is 10% higher than the Kirin 980, while the multi-core performance is 9% higher than the last-gen chipset.
It features a 16-core Mali G76 GPU that Huawei claims performs better than its main competitors.
The big upgrade here is that Huawei will be including 5G within the chipset itself, which is something other competitors haven't been able to do yet. That allows Huawei to make a smaller chipset that takes up less space in a device.
Like the Kirin 980, this is also a 7nm chip, which is built in a way that allows for more space inside your device for battery and other features.
5G and more
There's also a 4G variant of the chipset, so not all future Huawei devices will be 5G compatible but it allows the company to implement the internet technology in upcoming flagship devices.
Huawei has yet to confirm what devices the Kirin 990 will be included in, but we can expect to hear more on that in the coming months.
Huawei has confirmed it's announcing a new handset on September 18, and it's very likely to be the Huawei Mate 30 Pro. TechRadar will be at the launch to give you the details as soon as we learn them.
