Leica triple rear camera and Kirin 980 SoC

At its event in London, Huawei has officially unveiled its two new flagship smartphones, the Mate 20 and the Mate 20 Pro, both featuring a triple camera, co-engineered with Leica, as well as the new Huawei flagship 7nm Kirin 980 SoC.

Cortex-A76 doing the magic

Huawei is the first company after Apple to mass produce the 7nm smartphone chip and this will be miles apart from the previous Kirin 970. The combination of Cortex-A76 and Cortex-A55 cores will do the magic.

All clear, if you use an on switch

The parent company of 3Dmark UL and Huawei made a statement about the delisting of the latter's phones and agreed to work with each other to solve the issue.

No 5G NR form factor devices yet

The IFA consumer trade show has just finished, and we wanted to share a bit about  5G with focus on the big silicon manufacturers. Both Samsung and Huawei didn’t show anything at the show, while both companies reassured us that they will have something later.

Consequences of clear cheating

We’ve seen this happening before in the discrete and mobile GPU world and it looks like Huawei was caught with its pants down cheating on  graphics benchmarking. The result is that UL, owner of 3DMark has delisted Huawei P20 Pro, Huawei Nova 3 and Honor Play.

Octa-core SoC with dual NPUs

Huawei is obviously going after its competition with its latest Kirin 980 SoC, which is all about being the world's first SoC in many categories, including the first made on TSMC's 7nm, the first with Cortex-A76 cores, dual NPUs, and plenty of other things too.

With a slide out camera

In addition to the Honor Play, Huawei's sub-brand teased the new Magic 2 smartphone, a smartphone without a notch, chin, and with a slide out camera.

6.3-inch with GPU Turbo for €329

Huawei and its Honor sub-brand came to the IFA 2018 show with a rather interesting mid-ranger focused on smartphone gaming, the Kirin 970-powered Honor Play.

Second biggest smartphone seller

The fruity cargo cult Apple is no longer the second biggest smartphone maker having been beaten by China’s Huawei.

With four Cortex-A73 and four Cortex-A53 cores

Huawei has now officially announced its newest 12nm Kirin 710 SoC, which will bring a decent single- and multi-core performance boost, GPU boost and more.
