Huawei’s sub-brand Honor has already confirmed that the company will be launching the Honor 9X smartphone in China on 23rd July. Ahead of the launch, the company has revealed what chipset will power the phone.
Through a poster shared on Weibo, Honor has confirmed that the upcoming Honor 9X smartphone will be powered by the company’s newly launched HiSilicon Kirin 810 octa-core processor which is manufactured using 7nm process.
The chipset comes equipped with two Cortex-A76 high-performance large cores clocked at 2.27 GHz and six Cortex-A55 energy efficient small cores clocked at 1.88 GHz. It is coupled with Mali-G52 GPU for graphics processing.
It also has a new Huawei DaVinci architecture NPU, which consumes less energy and has artificial intelligence (AI) technology running at over 32,280 points, surpassing the scores of Snapdragon 855 SoC and Snapdragon 730 SoC.
The company also said that the image processing capability of this new smartphone processor is at par with those of the flagship grade SoCs. Huawei has included a powerful night vision algorithm for higher brightness and greater tolerance.
As per the leaks, the Honor 9X will come with a triple rear camera module that will feature a 24MP primary sensor, an 8MP secondary sensor, and a 2MP depth sensor. On the front side, the phone will feature a 20MP snapper.
The smartphone is also expected to come with a fingerprint scanner for added security, a 3.5mm audio jack, and support for storage expansion. The device will be running EMUI 9 based on Android Pie operating system out-of-the-box.
Last month, Huawei launched the Huawei Nova 5 smartphone, which became the first smartphone to be powered by the Kirin 810 SoC. Also, with the launch of Kirin 810, Huawei has become the world’s first smartphone company to have two chipsets that are manufactured using the 7nm node.
