The newly launched Huawei Mate 60 and Huawei Mate 60 Pro are powered by Kirin 9000s SoC. These are the first devices to house this chip.
According to a reliable leaker, Huawei has plans for more devices using the chipsets from this series. One of them will be a flagship tablet.
Prolific tipster Digital Chat Station claims that the upcoming premium Huawei MatePad tablet is being tested with the new 9 series Kirin chip. He does not know the exact model number as it is masked.
He mentions that it is just the beginning as more Kirin-powered Huawei products are on the horizon. We are looking forward to learning more about them in the coming weeks.
The interesting bit about the latest Kirin 9000s chipset is that it supports 5G connectivity. This chip is said to be based on indigenous 5G tech as Huawei is banned from using US-based 5G tech.
As per benchmarks, the SoC is comparable to two generations-old Qualcomm Snapdragon 888. So it is not that fast but more than enough for day-to-day activities and heavy tasks.
This forthcoming premium tablet could be a Huawei MatePad Pro model. Since the pro tablet now comes in 11-inch and 12.6-inch versions, it could be either of the two or even a new size.
